Well, something about reading through the responses here jogged my memory and I remember that searching the US version of ebay (.com instead of .ca) often yields better results.. I just have to message the sellers to ask if they'll also ship to Canada (most are willing if asked). Not sure why I...

Hey, thanks for the reply! -I think that's at least around the ballpark I'm hoping for in terms of price point. -I've definitely been searching those sources on a daily basis.. hoping! -Thanks for that clarification. I'd read the odd conflicting thing about versions.. Definitely keep this in...

So I've owned an Einstein now for ~8 years and I love it. Diezel amps are definitely the sound I imagine when I think of great tone.. and my ultimate prize has always been the Herbert. Anyway, I'm seriously looking at buying one (finally), but I'm not sure a brand new one is within my budget as...

I use a Koko Boost Reloaded (which does vary from the standard version in layout a bit) with my Einstein. I don't really use it in the way that most high-gain amp users use a boost though, but rather as a live-rig solution to quickly get different gain levels with my ground-control / midi...

I don't know; I've had some pretty delicious pancakes. Real maple syrup, sometimes some nice blueberries or.. wait, what was this thread about again?

Hey, I'm not sure if the Schmidt or other models operate differently from my Einstein, but the compensated out on the back of my amp is definitely taken before the master volume. (Yes a load must always be connected).. If I want the actual sound of my Diezel's preamp late at night I...

Hi, So the short version is: My Einstein is producing a fair amount of pink noise (similar to wind?) and scratchy type sounds. The noise is present on both channels (louder or channel 2) and gets considerably louder when turning up the gain control. I'm guessing this means it's time to...

This is a little left of the boost-pedal suggestions: but one of the things that I really like about Diezel amps is how well Peter has tailored the sound of the drive/gain tones. Great tone across all gain levels and minimal-to-no unnecessary noise to muddy up that superb sound. What I think...

Heh, well I'll admit I didn't really go into that post with "balanced review" in mind. For me it's like when someone points out a resemblance and you can't "un-see" it, I just can't get past that particular quality with the V30.. Obviously a lot of people really like them though.. It certainly...

Yea, I'm definitely in the "hate" camp when it comes to the V30 sizzle thing, personally. In my experience, K100s emphasize the best aspects of the Diezel tone and allow me to play / record with all of the tone I imagine in my head (some people cite a lack of highs.. I don't.. but I feel like...

I use a pair of AMS-Neve 1073s for pretty much all guitar tracking (as well as vocals, bass, drums, almost anything I can).. assuming the Golden Age is similar in architecture and overall character (as most "73" type pres tend to be).. you should be in for a good time. All of the various...

I'm with Ventura, I vastly prefer the G12Ks over the V30s.. I use a 412FL with the G12K100s and I think that it really makes a Diezel sound like a Diezel. To my ear, the G12Ks sound meaner, bite harder, mic better, record better, are more balanced, and highlight the tone of the instrument/amp...

I totally get that "good tone" is a very subjective label.. but these tone-settings threads always leave me feeling perplexed. There is a part of my brain that understands the motivation..kindof, but every time someone's settings use arguably high "Bass" and "Deep" settings.. I just can't...

Well.. what I'm looking to achieve is a way to remotely switch the "break-in" point that the serial-loop return causes when a jack is plugged into it so that I can switch something in and out of the signal path without having to pass actual audio-signal to and from the switch itself.. if that...

Hey All, I'll make this question simple: would it be possible to mod the Einstein's serial loop to be switchable?? Where the jack for it would end up isn't all that important to me at this point, but I am curious as to the feasibility of said modification... Thanks.
