Just got the Einstein

[simbasa]

Not to subvert Dime's sales attempt, but I honestly think that if you like the Einstein's voicing so much you might find the Herbert a little more up your alley than the VH4...

Well, here's the deal. I love the Einstein and it's the amp I've been looking for all these years and I don't want another Diezel that, comes close to it, more modern, clearer, chimmier etc etc I want "THE" Einstein with another channel and footswitch options. It has to have the Einstein voicing. I hear all the time how the Herbert is more "modern" also..fuck I hate that word because in music it actually means "shit". Every time I hear a so-called "modern" amp, its a piece of shit.

I can't turn the Einstein off, soloing on this thing is a fucking dream come true. When I play my gf and my friends come and watch alot longer than usual.

The good thing about Einstein is that it's brutal yet 'soft' tone compared to harsh high gain amps that leave your ears hurting after 5 minutes. I just got a 5150 III to compare to my Einstein and Elmwood 90 and it's really a good amp....But after awhile it fatigues my ears. Einstein, I could listen all day.
I say wait and see what the Diezel Hagen is going to be about and then decide if you want a Herbert. I do think the Einstein is the most 'Woman friendly' high gain amp- My mom was visiting and I had her listen to which amp tone she liked best... Einstein wins.

... I also wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the Einstein, it's the most kickass amp I have ever played/owned/touched.

Amen to this
First post here. Got my Einstein few weeks ago and just can't stop playing it. I played most of the human designed sound transducing systems aiming at producing house leveling sound pressure levels and annoying the closest friend (after your dog) of a human being, i.e. bass guitar players, known as guitar amplifiers and Einstein is pretty much on it's great own here! Does not compare to anything - probably the best amplifier I touched - at least for me
Can't see why you can not get enough mids out of it? Have you tried to change the cab or the guitar? I played it through several different cabs, one being loaded with a signle 15" Marshall Celestion Herritage and the only frequencies it had out of the whole sound spectrum were mids and gobs and gobs of mids - but it sounded huge Quite the opposite - connected to a 2x12" Framus cab with Vintage 30 - mids were definitely lacking so I had to adjust the MID knob to about 12:00 .
If I were you, I would definitely take out my beloved - ahem - amp for a walk to the closest music store and play through every cab available... then who knows ...it can get a brand new present after the walk
Another dumb suggestion out of my ignorance - do you crank your amp enough ?

Oh, nono, you misunderstand. There's nothing I'd change about the amp's tone, NOTHING. I was being stupid thinking more footswitching options would be worth getting something else and that's why I asked which one had more mids so I could replace the Einstein with that but I'm not getting anything else now. I'm keeping the Einstein since it's exactly what I like as far as tone, I just didn't want to be left out by not being able to switch modes but nothing else. I was mostly curious of which of the two other Diezel's had the Einstein voicing.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Dude, keep your Einstein; if I could've afforded to, I would've kept mine and got the Herbert too. The Einstein is hands down the best sounding amp I have played to date, although I expect the Herbert to surpass it in some ways. I'll let you know in a day or two when it gets here.

I'm keeping it, I love this amp so it's staying with me. It's the best sounding amp to me also. It's the Einstein and the SLO100 for me.

SLO? Nice.

I like the Avenger better, I didn't like the SLO's clean at all, so why pay 2000 or so more dollars for a crap clean channel. But to each his own.

Now that's quite a combination. I had and loved my SLO. Why did I sell it? Idiot factor I suppose.

Damn, how could anyone sell an SLO? I won't rub it in but I'd never get rid of mine.

Yeah, don't-you'd be sorry. Same with the Einstein.

BTW, if you are anywhere near Northern CA. and want to try a Herbert, let me know and you can try mine.
