Anyone know the physical size and weight of the Einstein Combo?
Thanks, Matt

I have a prototype combo Einstein and it is heavy, but I use a dolly to move it.
It's not that big a deal that way.
Hey, the Schmidt is no light-weight either!

Generally though the heavier the amp the better in my books, tends to be made of sturdier stuff and have massive transformers = tone most of the time!

so your Einy Combo is the prototype. Is there anything different about it? or is it just the first one?
Thx, Matt

I don't know if it is the very first one. The serial number (can't remember it now) does not appear to reflect this. Peter might know.
It sounds great though, in that larger cab.
It is the same as the production models being produced, but for the cabinet size.

How does the Einy sound as a combo... i am putting up one of my Suhr modded marshalls for a Einy combo beacuse it would be a nice grab and go combo... i did play a 100w Einy head awhile back and it sounded pretty good.

The combo, as I'm sure you are aware, is 50 watts. That other cab on which is sitting the Herbert and Einstein combo, is a one-off Diezel stereo studio cab with 2 G12-H's in it that I use at times with the Einstein combo. It can get really LOUD.
The amp is more then loud enough for any situation I have ever played in by itself. I play in a 5-6 piece band and it can get loud on stage. I don't play shred or head-banging music, and I have changed out the preamp tubes to 12AT7's and 12AU7's , which lower the overall output volume of the amp as a combo. The power tubes I use are JJ KT77's and the amp sounds great with them! (If you leave the stock preamp tubes in the combo, it will anihilate your ears! It is really LOUD!)
Still, I have the masters on no more then 2 o'clock and the amp kills for me. I have a stock V-30 Celestion, which came in the amp. While these are not my choice, but Peter's, I have left it in, but use a Weber beam blocker, which cuts the harsher highs and focused sound eminating from the center of the cone. It sounds great now and disperses the sound all over the stage.
What is nice about using the combo alone, is the fact that you can turn it up more then with a 2x12, or 4x12 and work the snot out of the tubes. This amp is just terrific, imho.
If you need more volume, simply bring out another 1x12 or 2x12. Also, which I like, is the fact that the extra cab is 16 ohms run on one cable alone, or 8 ohms when running each speaker in the 2x12 separately with it's own speaker cable to the head with the combo, which has a 16 ohm Celestion in it. The mismatched ohmage brings out a great and unique tone to the amp.
I also learned this trick...If I am running the combo and a stereo 2x12, and use each speaker input separately in the 2x12 along with the speaker in the combo, the sound gets louder yet! This is what I meant by running the speakers in the 2x12 separately. This happens even with a head and running the cab with both speakers separately, as opposed to just using one speaker input on the cab to the head.
This technique really helps me get just that much more volume from the Schmidt then running only one speaker cable to the Schmidt head alone. The difference in volume is quite noticable.
If you don't play at extreme volume levels such as using a full or half stack with 100+ watt heads turned up really loud, you should really enjoy the Einstein combo. I find it to be an extremely versatile amp combo on it's own, but with extra speakers, it can stand with the heavier amps.

how does the comp out work compared to a mic on the speaker... does it sound pretty good going to a board? thats always a nice feature, but some comp outs i have used didnt sound very good... i am guessing the Einy's sounds good..
Thx, Matt

I was doing a master session and the engineer brought out a Neuman U-87. We did a side-by-side comparison of the mic against the comp out from the Diezel.
The engineer could not tell the difference in a blind test when I brought in the mic and then the comp out from the Deizel.
All Diezels have an exceptional comp out. I don't use a mic anymore. It is just not necessary. Peter really is terrific about getting all the details right before he releases an amp, unlike some other companies (cough, Mesa, cough) which brings out an amp and then does the mods and improvements as they go along. I know this, as I played Mesa amps for 18 years and saw this going on the entire time.
Here is a youtube video our band did with a former member, Jeff Lindsay, who wrote the Dexter series and who was a member of the band.
The vid was done by Jeff's video crew, but the song was recorded in a studio before the video shoot. All leads were mine but for the one right after the keyboard solo, which Jeff did. I used the Einstein combo with comp out directly to the recording desk, ch one, mode 2. The compression you hear is either from the final mixdown, or youtube. The guitar used in the studio is Olaf Krampe's Edwards LP Custom, all stock. In the vid, I was using a Gibson LP AAA Standard. The vid is out of sync with the vid...not my fault.

Hey, I'm only a guitar player. 
Thank Peter and Olaf for giving me the tools to work with.
