Hi everyone, I once told nbartlybarts my favorite amp was my 50 watt Einy..well I go through a lot of gear and lost it. Well I got my favorite back with a new twist. :rock:

Hi Chis, it plays like butter! Very resonant and loaded with mojo...of course it's on the chopping block :lol: :LOL: I wanted this Einstein combo really bad and when I saw it I lost all control... :rock: This is one amazing portable Diezel tone machine and the reverb sounds sweet.

Hope everything works out for ya!

Thats awesome Mike...How does that GE Smith LP play?

Yea, the Einstein kicked Soldano's butt for me, I actually still am surprised. Besides slightly better suited tone for my taste, it just felt right to play, versus Soldano's totally uncomfortable gain structure.

I have 3 problems with the Einsten (which is my main live amp now BTW) & they are all related to playing the amp live only:

1. When I play it as loud as I like, it looses the cool feel it has at more normal & bedroom volumes for solos.
2. Channel 2 has no clean option. I more dig the texas mode for distortion & that leaves me with no cleans, which sucks sometimes.
3. You can't switch the parallel loop on/off, that's embarrassing for a Diezel in my humble opinion.

But, yea, I'm not surprised you're back to it a bit. Good to see ya back on the board!
 
Thanks dude. I may do the mod for channel 1 and figure a way to balance the volume differences with an effects processor and midi relay switching. I have been trying to use just the effects in a Rocktron Prophesy but it's not going to cut it.

I thought about this as well. I have two sugestions.
1 - a Gmajor since it has some switch outputs, and you can add eqs etc.
2 - I am thinking about playing around with my Einstein, and making a switch system that assignes volume 1 to clean, and volume 2 to all other modes. I haven't looked close enough at the schematics to see if that would work, but I think that it should be possible.

I am not 100% sure how either will work since I haven't tried them myself, but it seems logical to me.
 
I very stupid question. Why does some combo einsteins have their logo above the middle of the front grill and some have in it centred?

:no: :scared:
 
I did some research on the Einstein when I was offered one of the 50 watt heads in trade for my Boogies (before I got the Herbert) and was very dissapointed with the lack of features it has compared to the other Diezel heads... I'm sure it sounds absolutely amazing, but given that the price isn't a very considerable amount lower than the other heads, I found it to be lacking in the options department... :no:
 
Very interesting. Email Peter he always gets back!

I did have a new Herbert, I don't know what it is but the Einstein just works for me...so going the extra mile to get the effects-switching stuff down is worth it. :yes:
