How dows it compare to a Diezel (VH4, Herbie, Einstein) ? I've been thinking about changing my F-50 (even tho I LOVE IT) but I don't have the cash to own both amps.

How do they compare to each other? Cleans/gain, etc... :)
 
I've played Mesa F-Series & though I generally don't like Mesa amps I did like this one, it was a cool amp. That said it shrinks next to Diezels every possible way you can think of. :D
 
I hate to say it, but I used to be a Mesa fan.....
NOTHING Diezel produces even compares!!!!!!!! It leaves Mesa in the dust!!!!!
Anything that Peter designs/makes pisses on Mesa IMHO'
Once you go Diezel you never come back haha
Try em, you'll see!!!

Before I got my Einstein combo I A/B it with a lot of other combos, also a F30. The Einstein blew them all away. Its a complete other league in terms of clearity and variety. Of course this was a 30W against a 50W but also compared to Engl combos and larger mesas like the lonestar Eini has much more punch and power. It didin'T even think of a Diezel when I went for a new combo, but fortunately one was in the same showroom and I plugged in. From that moment it was absolutly clear that I won't be happy with anything else. And my wife agreed - and she knows my GAS behaviour!!! :lol: :LOL: So I spend more than I planned but got the best in my opinion.
 
You f*&ers are NOT helping! :P (again, why did I ask uh?! :doh: )


I LOVE my F-50, really, but I'm gasing for a Diezel soooo bad right now.

One simple question then:

In case a exchange my F-50 for a diezel, it'll for an Einstein (even though I'm Gasing for a Herbie!) Will the Eistein have the same amount of gain than the F-50? I Really like the F-50's Ch. 2 specially with contour.
 
I have a 100 watt Einstein, and I assure you there will be more than enough gain. Also, it's real gain, not that buzzy, overly compressed, can't hear individual notes kind of gain that Mesa has. Buy it.... :thumbsup: :rock:
 
Not to beat dead horses but when I heard the Herbert and thought the $$ was alot to spend on it, so I went thru 3 or 4 heads trying to emulate it(Framus Cobra, Triaxis rack, Triamp, 3 channel Dual Rec, etc) and I realized that there isn't a dollar figure you can put on great tone! The sounds are great, channels, FX loops are great, bullet proof.....Buy a Diezel, any of them and I am sure you'll love it for years!
 
it will definetly have the same amount of gain, even much more in my opinion. and surely enough for everything.

Einstein will blow the F-50 out of the water if the F-50 is anything like the F-30 I owned previously. While the F-Series are nice, they have nothing on any Diezel.
 
Before my first Diezel (Einstein Combo) I had a Mesa Boogie F30. No way to compare these two amps. To be honest the F30 has one advantage: The weight...
No, seriously, the sound of these two amps is (with a good guitar) from two diffrent worlds. That was when the Diezel virus started. Now I have an Einstein Top, a Herbert, (my VH4S I sold last week) and several Cabs. And I know why... ;)
 
I recorded our first album almost completely with a borrowed F50. It's decent but there's something about the sound that I didn't quite like. (much like with the Road King I got just after we finished) I can't imagine it possibly comparing to an Einstein combo or something like that.
