    Quad Cortex, my month with it

    I had one for a month, captured my Bogner and Victory amps. The captures when run through the Fryette PS-100 into one of my cabs sounded and felt extremely close to the real deal. I thought the capture worked just great. The output system will matter here and the closer to it is to like for like...

    Diezel D-Moll vs Mesa Mark V 90?

    Thinking of buying either a Diezel D-Moll or the 90W Mesa Mark V amps used. For the record in my country the Diezel is a lot cheaper even used than the Mesa but I can afford either used so that is not a huge concern. The question is, which one should I go for? I play a variety of styles from...

    Which Diezel for lower gain tones?

    So I've been using modelers for several years now but have been thinking of getting a small tube amp rig as an alternative. Something good sounding and simple to use in any situation. Probably a head + 1x12 or 2x12, nothing bigger. I used to own a Diezel Einstein combo that I liked in many ways...

    Tourmaster problems, please help

    Some time ago my Tourmaster 4100 head started crapping out on me. When I took it off standby it'd make this "pop! skooosssssshhhhhhh" sound and then the volume would be way too low and might drop out altogether. At first turning off the amp a few times seemed to fix it but after that I always...

    Egnater branded tubes - what are they REALLY?

    Does anyone know what the Egnater branded tubes, especially the preamp tubes found in the Tourmaster are? I know they're from Groove Tubes but obviously they're just rebranded tubes from some factory. So what are they? Sovtek? JJ? Chinese? My guess would be Chinese since that's where the amps...

    Einstein combo - series loop sounds better than parallel?

    To give you some background, I'm not much of an FX user. In fact I haven't had any effects for years. The only pedal I had was the Digitech Bad Monkey and I didn't use it much with the Diezel. Today I received a used Digitech Digidelay and went ahead and plugged it in. I put the Digidelay into...

    Put EL34s back in my Einstein...

    So for shits and giggles I decided to put the stock Ruby EL34BSTR tubes back into my Diezel Einstein (50W) combo. I was using Svetlana/SED 6L6GCs in it earlier but decided to give the EL34s another go. I found that I kinda like the EL34s better for distorted tones. Tighter bottom end and thicker...

    Einstein with 6L6 tubes? Also what preamp tubes do you use?

    Anyone try the Einstein with 6L6s? I've been recently noticing that I've liked many 6L6 based amps so I thought maybe I should give 'em a go in the Einstein. The manual says that they're great for cleans and that sounds promising, because I feel the clean could use a little bit more something...

    Flaxwood Rautia - review and pics

    Flaxwood guitars are made here in Finland and they cost about 2000€ new. I've had the pleasure of trying their models from the few prototype models sold in stores in 2003 as well as the much more refined ones made this year. The newer ones compared to the older ones seem to have nicer finishes...
