    Ever had a magical amp experience???

    What amp/guitar combo do you remember being "magical" for you and/or inspiring? Why was it magical/inspiring? Tubes and overtones? Dynamics? Response to pick attack? Controlled feedback with blooming overtones? For me my current Diezel Einstein is close to magical due to the super heavy...

    owned a 212 cab for a long time?

    I've had my Genz Benz G-flex 212 cab (ported and baffled) for about 10 years. I can use a single 12" at 8 ohms or both (4 ohms or 16 ohms). I can also run my S120 in stereo with two 8 ohm jacks. There is an extension jack but I've never used it. Plenty of bass and great for hard-rock and...

    which pedals you running with the Diezel amps?

    With the Einstein 100 watt head, I'm using a wah, Maxon OD808, ISP decimator, Boss TE-2 (Tera Echo). That's into the preamp. In the parallel effects loop set at 75%, I have a G Major with chorus/delay. I know that the ISP decimator does cause some tone and sustain changes, is anybody else...

    Diezel rhythm tones

    So I am satisfied with the ch 1 clean mode (snappy/poppy) and lead sounds and the Einstein. Still think this amp is horribly loud into even a 212 in studio rehearsal room (approx. 20x20ft). I mean in ch 2 I don't even get the master past 9 o'clock with all other controls at noon. So next time...

    Diezel Einstein gain structure

    I'm not technical and haven't looked at the schematic for the Einstein but I was messing around with ch 1 (modes 1 & 2 [clean & texas]) last nite. I turned the gain and volume knobs to max and the master volume around 0.5 or 1 out of 10 (in the house). This amp does not seem to have the same...

    Jeff Beck rig rundown

    This is interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN-Wazsiaio he's using a Marshall DSL100H as one of his main amps. These sell for less than $1k on eBay. He uses rapco cables as well which are really cheap. Minimal effects. It's all in the hands...

    checking bias on Einstein

    http://web.archive.org/web/20080403211724/diezel.typo3.inpublica.de/tech-corner.3.0.html got this from eurotubes. why do you have to remove the fuse and how do you know which fuse to remove (e.g. there are 2 fuses on the back of the amp with LED's)? Also, there are 2 black things in front of...

    Einstein speaker jacks

    from the user's manual: "Einstein has 5 speaker jacks. 1 for a 16Ohm load, 2 for 2 16Ohm loads or 1 8Ohm load, and 2 for 2 8 Ohm loads or 1 4 Ohm load. Confusing? Oh yes! Just do what it says on the jacks, and you’ll be fine" I have been running 8ohm jack on Diezel into the 8ohm jack on my cab...

    what speakers do Diezels like?

    Celestion V30? I have basically those in my GFlex (75 watts each) and it's ported but it sounded poor compared to the 412 mesa with ms-12's 150 watts each. The latter was a truly inspiring combo. WDYT?

    Genz Benz is out of business???

    I just called customer relations at genzbenz.com and the support guy said that Genz Benz stopped making their products about 2 years ago. I have their GFlex 212 cab that totally kicks ass for hard rock and metal (it's ported!) and am going to install Mesa casters on it tonite... Although I saw...

    Maxon OD808 lowers bass?

    Finally realized that the OD808 seems to lower the bass a bit (but I already knew about some mid boosting it's doing). Anybody have a link to the GEQ graph that represents essentially what this pedal does? Totally brings an amp to life for hardrock/metal.

    Made in China quality

    I just bought a made in China guitar (Ibanez AS153 semi-hollow body). It's a second but not sure what the issue is (probably cosmetic). Seems to be of excellent quality, great playability, tones, feel, action, fretwork and looks fantastic. Everybody seems to think Asian manufacturers (e.g...

    How loud do pros set the masters on their amps live?

    The manager at the studio I practice at in Burbank says that I play louder than anybody else in that studio (I'm not in a band I typically play along with iPhone/PA). I set the master on my 120 watt Rivera to 3 and the master on my 40 watt Marshall to 2-3. 212 plus a combo. So 3 total 12's...
