so finally got the Einstein today no broken tubes or damage by ups , extremely fortunate to catch him at my old address just on the off chance .
so what can i say that already hasn't been said about this powerful little box?
there's something sublime going on in the high gain lead ch 2, so lively and full but still maintaining to stay classic and not modern overkill . less compression than the fireball but far more fuller sounding and convincing .it almost feels that there's an overdrive or clean boost pushing this ch but there's not and if feels and sounds warm & natural .
i got a quick run on the clean ch , very nice indeed a lot more pristine and clearer than the engl i had previous .the suhr aldrich bridge is a little full on so obviously switching to the neck pickup really brings the finer nuances out in detail .
overdrive yet to try that out put bitch of a day were the only thing on my mind is getting my feet up and relaxing .so basically the short time ive spent with the Einstein has been very good indeed .the wee bugger with the 6550 tubes heats up like nobody's business u could literally fry egs on the grill plate . i can understand now why the chassis plate is extremely thick lol , will give a more detailed report when time presents itself to do so .
ps all in all big big step up from engls fb happy thus far .
the inner circuitry build standard makes the engl fireball look like a childs toy, extremely well made and left out .
