Hey All,

Someone wanted a demo of a custom guitar I had made so I did a good length clip of this amp with the axe and figured maybe it would be of some use to someone out there. Also, my friend keeps bitching none of my videos have this guitar in it so I killed two birds with one stone.

Hope ya'll dig it.

Very nice!!!


Great playing and great sounds!


what mic did you use?
 
I only got to listen to the first 8 seconds before youtube paused for more loading, but it sounds awesome in what little I've heard so far. Will post back once I've heard the entire thing. :)
 
I think those are some of the best Diezel tones I've heard in a clip thus far. It makes me seriously consider the Einstein instead of the VH4 or Herbert. The gain tones you got in the first section you played... can those be achieved on the either the VH4 or Herbert as well? Or, are they unique to the Einstein? What else was in your signal chain for that clip?

Seriously, I'm impressed by your playing and that sound!

Hey Herbie,

Thanks so much for your kind words it's much appreciated and glad you enjoy it! Honestly it's just the mac book pro built in mic! I didn't even mic up the cab with a 57, that's what I normally use for it, but I don't know how to sync video and audio together like that! Hopefully one day someone will tell me haha.

Thanks again,

Dallas

Hey Four,

Thanks so much for the compliments and I'm glad you dig the tone and playing man!

I wish I could tell you more of what kind of sounds you can get from the VH4 and the Herbert but I honestly have never had hands on with either of them! I know that from hearing the herby in person it's got a more compressed tone in general than the einstein depending on how you set it up.

Here's the weird part about the Einstein, it's broken up into two switchable channels, but the first one has 3 modes, clean/texas/mega and for whatever reason when you switch the ch1 to clean it makes the lead channel less compressed and I BELIEVE from what I read some where it has to do with the general input sensitivity of the amp as a whole changing, something to the effect of a high and low input on an old marshall if that makes sense?

I went through all the amp clips online I could find an I found I liked the sounds of the Einstein by far and away better than anything I heard from a VH4 or the Herbert. I just heard what I wanted out of the amp more than anything else if that makes sense?

As for my signal chain I had NOTHING in the effects loop, everything is running on the front end and it's all running off I didn't have anything turned on. But there's a trick when I say that because I read an article online a while ago about some big time pedal board builder using a regular old boss pedal for a buffer for longer cables, etc. I tried a few different boss pedals and ended up using a Boss super chorus always OFF as the very first thing in my signal, it restored SO much of my tone I can't even tell you, other than that I'm running a RMC Wizard Wah, then a Timmy Pedal, and then a line 6 DL4 but again everything is 100% off.

Otherwise I use all monster rock cables, and the pickups are WCR darkbursts.

If theres anything else I can help you with let me know cool?

Thanks again, hope all is well.

A local store to me has a used VH4, Herbert and Schmidt...all priced very well. They don't have an Einstein, so I wasn't considering one. But, now I'm having a hard time deciding which Diezel to go for, especially since your clip sounds so damn awesome. I played an Einstein about a year ago in another store and I didn't like how it sounded - very compressed and fizzy. But, maybe it was that particular amp, the cab or the tubes?

That clip was recorded from your Macbook mic/camera? I've tried recording using my Macbook Pro's built in mic/camera but I always get a weird phasing issue.

Hey man, well that really sucks that they have every amp but the Einstein haha.. that certainly makes things a pain in the ass. Well it could have been the cab and the speakers, this 4x12 has those english made heritage 30's in them, which are very warm sounding speakers much more so than the v30's which are very mid spikey. Also marshall cabs are rear loaded so if you played a front loaded cab with G12k100's or whatever those speakers are from celestion it might have sounded a lot fizzier or something I'm not sure the difference so much between FL/RL cabs but I know I don't like the 100 watt celestions at all. As far as tubes, I put in a pre amp set all from cryoset tubes, I think diezel uses 9th gen chinese or something in their stock amps, I'm only running chinese tubes in the cathoder follower spots I think I don't remember which they were but I'm running tung-sols as well and I can't remember what else in there. I'm also running Winged C EL34's 2 of which are black sables which are cryo treated as well.

And yea man just my mac book pro cam, but I do have a newer one from this June if that makes any difference? and I set it up like right in front of the amp.

Hope all is going well man!
