I may piss some people off by saying this but instead of dancing around the point I am going to be more direct:

Elmwood Modena sucks. :thumbsdown:

Diezel rules. :thumbsup: :rock:

:lol: :LOL:

My Elmwood M90 lasted about 3 days at my place then was sold. :D
 
In my time of amp searching, I tried Mesa Rectifier, Soldano Avenger 50, Egnater TourMaster, Diezel Herbie and Einstein, and some Marshalls.
I am just lucky I don't play any more extreme metal (thrash, death, hardcore etc) because that evil tone that I have heard from Herbie was beyond everything else. But I really can not afford this amp.
Mesa boogie was just not for me, although I had the chance to record a song with one guitar from Einy and the second from Mesa and it was the perfect match (check out https://www.myspace.com/profoundsleep , song "ride with me" rhythm section to see what I mean).
Soldano Avenger was a fine amp, nice break up, great dynamics, great overdrive but overpriced here in Greece and "one trick pony" compered to what I have heard from Einy.
Egnater was a decent amp. For studio use where you need plenty of different sounds with less money it would be ideal. But definitely it is in a different league compared to the other amps that I had tested and I was sure that after a year or two I would have GAS attack.
So I ended up with Einy. Great cleans, Channel 1 Texas and channel 2 kills, I have tested drop D as well as Shechter Jeff Loomis 7 and it was great :worship:
But you already have Soldano, so the decision will be tough.
Ok here is my advice.
Get the Einy, then if you feel the need for a second amp sell one of the two and buy a low wattage one.
I predict that you will sell Soldano, not because it isn't a great sounding amp, but because Einy is so close and it is way more "complete".
 
Yeah, I'm either gonna get a Schmidt or a Diezel Einstein 50 1x12 combo. It's really tought trying to decide between them. I'm still paying off the Soldano and a new guitar the moment, so my decision doesn't need to be made for a while. :rock:
 
You want the VH4, come to terms with it. midi.....stereo......felxibility.....power tube saturation.....preamp tube drive.....

All the same reasons I want one :rock: :rock:

Great thread. It will take a lottery ticket for me to get a Diezel any time soon..
 
I love my VH4S....

Every time I GAS for something else, I just tweak the EQ's and turn it up. It pounds, seriously pounds. And sounds soooooooooooooo extremely good doing its pounding :yes:

V.
 
I know the VH4 sounds awesome at any volumes (and it's not like a practise at bedroom levels, anyway), I just find it really difficult to justify all that money for something I'll NEVER use. I know it's about tone, but it's a lot of money to put into something that I feel I'll have let down. :cry:

The Schmidt or the Einstein combo just FEEL more like my kind of thing. Know what I mean?
