I have Einstein 2x12 combo. I am trying various direct recording methods. First I tried using the compensated out direct to my mixer. But no signal. The amp is working fine, as when I turn up master channel there is amp output. Just nothing coming out of compensated out. Also tried using the...

If you are reading this Peter, hello from Georgia! The country, not the state... Will be here for a couple years. Have my studio set up and just noticed that when I run an external preamp's line out to the effects return on the Einstein, that there is no output at the speaker. I have tried the...

I was wondering if there are any very good rack power amps that are easily portable. Ideally tube but I will entertain good solid state options. Ideally under $1000. It would be for live playing at small venues. I would run it with a rack pre like 11 rack or something. thanks

Hi, VH4S: I bought this in Germany and have used it both in Germany and the US without a power transformer. It is dual voltage. Above the power adapter connector, there is an odd shaped piece with metal on both ends. I just flip it for 120V or 240V. But then there is the question of fuses...

My Einstein seems to exhibit the following behavior every few months: I will be playing, and then after a while the volume fades somewhat, followed by a swelling bassy boom, then followed by no output. I have a tube tester and whenever I test the tubes, they seem fine. The fuses are fine as...

I was playing last night and everything was fine. Then suddenly I heard a slowly rising boomy sound and then the amp went dead quiet. Before I start testing tubes, I was wondering if anyone has a gut feel for what the culprit is. Several months ago I had a similar problem, but then the next day...

All my amps are high power (Einstein, VH4S). I have heard so much lately about low wattage amps (5-10 W or less) and am quite curious, since I mainly do recording. Problem is most of thme appear to be single channel, which I suppose is fine for home recording, provided they have enough gain. I...

I have the Einstein and VH4S. I mostly play the Einstein because I feel like it lets notes breath more if that makes sense. At high gain, when I pick a note, I like the pick attack to be softened. In other words, I don't like an amp that is so tight where you pick the note and instantly...

I am curious about the Schmidt as the description on the website reminds me of the Einstein. I have always considered the Einstein a super smooth amp. My VH4S I would describe as 'tighter' but not as smooth/warm as the Einstein. Only played the Herbert once and recall it sounding very tight as...

I was playing on Ch1 Mode 3 and suddenly the volume started to gradually fade until there was pretty much nothing. Mode 1 on the channel seems to work and Ch2 seems to work. I don't want to start taking out a bunch of tubes. Based on these symptoms, is there a certain tube that could be the...

I was at Tone Merchants (what an outfitter!) for about 5 hours today trying Suhr guitars. I actually thought I had been there maybe 2 and a half hours (though my wife knew the whole time how long it really was...). When I try stuff at music stores I experience a time warp... After many...

Does Suhr operate like Carvin as far as ordering custom guitars or do you have to go through a dealer/middle man. I am in Santa Barbara now and am thinking of heading into LA area to check out some of the dealers. But really, all I want to do is try some Suhr guitars, talk to the Suhr people...

For some reason I thought anyone could check out NAMM. But now that I went to the site that does not appear to be the case. Am I missing something? I was just hoping to check out the Diezel booth... thanks, brian

Just when I thought I was all set to buy a cabinet I read a post about how all the new cabs are made in Germany. So should I buy an older cab or are the new ones worth waiting for? thanks, brian

I am about to test a bunch of cabs. Just wondering what people's thoughts are on these. What sort of tonal differences should I expect? thanks, brian

Figured since I live in Monterey which isn't too far from LA, may as well head to NAMM! I want to buy a Diezel cabinet. Can anyone recommend a place in the area that has a good selection/price? I kow about Wild West Guitars but was wondering if there are other places. Hope to see you Peter...

I am definitely liking the Einstein's tone on this song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjVwAGiU-Jk&fmt=22 later, brian

CHeck it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrIE7XeIaU You definitely want to click the Watch in HD option under the video... Way better than the regular playback. love the glowing purple from the Einstein!! ANyway, I decided to attempt to create a guitar lesson DVD. THis was an...

Learned of this Yo Yo Ma collaboration by chance. Gave it a shot. You can listen and vote for my entry here: http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/4800 The piece is in F Major. I added an intro, bridge and outro, and added a string section and some other effects for background. I panned...

I am looking to buy a cabinet. I live in Monterey, CA and as far as I can tell wildwestguitars is the closest place with a good selection. They sell the 4x12 front and rear loaded versions for a litle over $1000. Does that seem right? I noticed they sell for 1050 EUROS overseas. Seems odd that...
