Diezel Herbert mk I vs mk II - Which one sounds better?

Herbert Mk II release rigtalk post: https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/thread...

Hi, I'm John Browne. No. Not that guy but this is my real name.
I'm an engineer by day and hopeless gear addict by night.

In this video, I compare my Diezel Herbert mk I to my Herbert mk II.
I used a 2009 Gibson SG Raw Power in drop C# with a Seymour Duncan Black Winter in the bridge position for this. I switched back and forth using a Radial Engineering Valve-Tube Head Switcher which went into my Two Notes Torpedo Live loadbox with a GGD Studio Cali Cab IR.
When boosted, the amps were boosted with a Deadweald Duality DX in green mode (tubescreamer) with gain at 0 and tone and volume just over half way up.

Here are some time stamps to help you navigate:
