Thanks to Peter Diezel and Paul Reed Smith, we're out of money... but extremely happy! ;) Spent an evening testing some gear with a friend of mine. Had a blast! There's nothing like cranking your gear and enjoying a couple of beers. My friend just got himself a brand new Hagen. Sounds...

Hey all, I recently bought an XTC 101b and it seems that the guy I bought it from was fiddling a lot with tubes. Can anyone tell me what the most popular set-up is? Pre-amp and power-amp? Far as I can see, there are NOS tubes in the pre-section. But it sounds rather.... closed. Like someone...

Hey people, I've seen a number of threads started on this topic, but I can't seem to get the information I need out of them. There is nothing actually missing from my tone now (at least to my ears ;)), but, as I am playing in 2 bands, it would be great to have another cab that delivers the...

Hey all! With xmas just around the corner, I cannot have one of Einstein's LEDs failing.. The channel 1 led doesn't light when I power on or switch to channel 1. After a while (random) it tends to light up after all. This seems like a minor issue, as the amp itself works perfectly. Is the...

Hey all, This feels like a total N00B question, but still: I have recently bought a Bias Adapter (like the Bias Rite), where I can just plug the tubes in the adapter and then in the amp's (it's an Einstein) tube socket. When biassing the "old fashioned" way, I used a DMM and removed the fuse...

Hey all, Figured I'll start my day good and let you talk me into getting a Diezel 212 cab. I already own a Bogner 212 (1/3 open back, V30's) and really love this combination. Having said that, I am thinking of getting a Diezel 212 to replace / add to the Bogner. Since I have not got the...

Hey all, At a gig yesterday, I experienced my first ever issue with a VH-4S! :confused: I was only using one side of the amp; I'm waiting for a new cab! Of course, the side I wasn't using was turned down to zero.. Hope that's not what caused the issue! Playing on CH3, I noticed my volume was...

Hey all, I recently retubed my Einstein; have SED EL34 "C"'s in it. My pre-amp section is a bit of everything now and it doesn't sound very good... :) I was wondering: what does Peter use in new Einsteins? Or maybe anyone else has an opinion on what tubes go good with SED EL34's? Thanks a lot...

Hey all, I recently did a check up on my Einstein; pre-amp tubes contactpoints seem to be a little "oxidated".. so I figured: I might as well buy a new set and help the economy. Anyway: I have an Einstein where there is a TAD tube in V1 and Ruby tubes in the rest of the positions. Here in NL...

Hi all, I have a very strange problem with my Einstein, which occurs sporadically. Driving me nuts! :confused: Two weeks ago, I gigged with my Einstein and at the end of the show, my sound died on me. No hiss, no hum, no static. Just silence. Luckily, this was at the end of the last song...
