CH1,CH2(Herbert) VS CH1, CH2(Einstein) - Please compare

[FriedChickenBandit]

I can't see the vid here at work, but I'm sure it's one of mine. Prolly one that's a year old or so... Anyhow, I don't claim to be a good player, and I never have. I'm showing people my gear on youtube and that's it. I think I have improved with the Herbert, especially in the last few months, even though I only have about two hours a week to practice and I've only been practicing for a few years with no teacher. Single parenting is what takes up 95% of my spare time, and that's cool, but don't tell me what I can have and what I can't. My money, my gear.
I play top of the line stuff, so I know it's my playing that needs improvement, not the gear, and it makes me happy to play on my gear.
And yeah, I'm not that kid, that has been playing for 20 years and now works at Guitar Center making ridiculously little money, but goes on youtube to bash people that left him behind financially, and most likely as a person as well many many years ago. At least my playing will improve - his status in life prolly won't.

So please, let me do my thing, having a good time when I can and mind your own fuckin business.

Edit for Mr. FriedBrainBastard: Have you heard of avi compression, and recording with a photocamera with no mic? Look it up.

I didn't mean anything by that man. Just my honest opinion, I take it you're well over 14 years of age so see it as an adult. If it makes you feel better to call me names, it's cool have at it but it is what it is. You know, Clint Eastwood said something VERY appropriate to this once in a movie, "Sometimes a man just has to know his limitations".

Like I said, before some of you read with your behinds instead of your eyes and ears, if you can afford it then by all means go for it. And man in all honesty.. I'm happy for you that you're having fun and that you can afford to buy such gear. Good for you, nothing wrong with that.

You just missed the point of my post by 2 weeks, it's cool no problem.

Well I saw that clip from youtube with Ed Yoon testing a Herbert amp... at ch2 for example there are moments when you hear some plexi stuff... that's for sure... I think that you can obtain also some tones like those from a Two Rock amp for example... that's what I've heard there.

"some" or "like" yes, of course but not enough to call it vintage or Plexi. Two Rock amps are another level and amps that should not be played by anyone with less than 15-20 years experience but that goes for any boutique amp. I always say that less than 15 years experience and you really have no clue as to what you want or how to achieve it HENCE, "tone is in the fingers/hands". If the money is there and you want high end stuff then go for it but the thing is that any intermediate or beginner will sound the same thru a Marshall DSL, Diezel, Modena, Bogner etc.

The perfect example..no offense to the guy playing but it is what it is..this doesn't even sound like a $500 amp.

listen to this guy's stuff and close your eyes and tell me he has a $4000 amp. Not even close right?

That's Scott, who is an active member of this board. He seems like a good guy regardless of how well he plays guitar. Nonetheless, if he has the cash, why can't he buy what he wants. To me its funny to see people actually get pissed that someone who is not as proficient as they are on the guitar have better gear than them (just look at some of the comments). Perhaps they suck at life, 40+ working for minimum at Guitar Center.

I'm sure he probably is a nice guy but what does "nice" have to do with what was said? Yes, I agree, nothing wrong with buying great things if you have the cash. I never said anyone's wrong for buying expensive gear regardless of talent or ability.

i think a person could enjoy its stuff even if he is not a monstous guitar player...honestly you can have a lot of fun the same.

important point...you can still get better too
i think nothing is wasted if enjoyed

Valentin,

The clips here may be of some interest to you, and each lists the equipment used.

Thank you Mr.Hanslow.

I knew the clips
Excellent clips... I would like also to hear more from the second channel with the gain lower than 40%...
But anyway... the sound is outstanding... I understand why Buckethead uses Herbert on his albums. Also Jose de Castro uses the Einstein and his sound is awesome. We're talking about two of the best guitarists out there and they sound good on any amp and any guitar(but the fact that they choose Diezel tells something)... in their hands that equipment is alive.

Thank you.

You need to A/B them to really get a good sense of what they can do. That's the best option.

I'm not taking offence man. It is what it is. You think I should not play a Herbert because I lack in the playing department. I think that's my business and not yours.
As for calling people names: "some of you read with your behinds instead of your eyes and ears"...why don't you practice what you preach, or is it not name-calling when you do what you have been doing here and elsewhere on this forum?
My opinion: My playing will eventually improve, I hope your attitude will too.
