I've never bought an amp because of someone else or band playing one, same for a guitar. I got into the Einstein by trying one out by chance. I was at GC and saw the Diezel and figured what could be so great about it? Played it and couldn't get it out of my head for a week so I bought it. It's...
I would NEVER own anything with more than 2 channels but that's just me. I'd lose respect for myself if I did, that's just bubblegum to me. I have 3 rules about amps. 1. has to have good mids 2. no more than 2 channels 3. amps are for playing not for pressing buttons on foot switches. :lol...
:rock: :lol: :LOL: Same boat, I'm not a giant or really tall (6'2) but I can palm a basketball easy, my fingers are not sausage looking either like some of my friends but I can't go past 22 frets comfortably. I can play them fine but I prefer 22 frets. Number of frets is a non-factor when it...
Well, :lol: :LOL: that was me that set them straight about the playing. And then I got a mob after me and then told the mod to go to hell when he said I was out of line. I was reading that thread and I got disgusted about all the, "this amp does not do dumble, but that one does". So I told it...
It's cool, I just don't get it that's all. You could do what you want with your amp but I wish you could stop by so I can show you that a modded DSL and an eq will give you anything you want. Again, not as beefy but it's so close you'd be surprised. Isn't a Diezel a Modded Marshall idea to begin...
Well, AGAIN..then you don't want a Diezel man. There's no such thing you're not finding a Diezel with little compression as they are all very compressed amps. The Einstein is in no way a vintage sounding amp either, I hear this alot and nothing could be further from the truth because none of...
I just found something very ironic here. A $4000 amp and use an EQ pedal with it? Do you know that a Marshall DSL with an EQ in front will give you the same sounds as the Diezel? It won't be as beefy because of the trans but if you put a Mercury Magnetics trans in the DSL you get the same thing...
Easy one..A Hot Rodded Marshall. Get a Plexi and have David Bray mod it for you or get a Voodoo V-Rock and get what you really want. Bad idea to get a Diezel if that's what you're looking for. Just go straight to what you want or are looking for because Diezels have their own sound and sound...
Never played an Elmwood Modena 60/90 have you? Try one and get ready to edit what you wrote. :lol: :LOL: I just told you so go buy it. In all honesty there are two amps that kill the Diezels master volumes and play better at lower levels which is saying a hell of alot given how exellent Diezels...
All Diezel amps are compressed, heavily compressed which gives it that stiff sound and all that gain. There's no getting around that and the least compressed one is the Einstein to me. Don't use all the gain, with these amps you have plenty of gain at 1:00-2:00 o'clock. I don't mind the...
I'm sure he probably is a nice guy but what does "nice" have to do with what was said? Yes, I agree, nothing wrong with buying great things if you have the cash. I never said anyone's wrong for buying expensive gear regardless of talent or ability.
I didn't mean anything by that man. Just my honest opinion, I take it you're well over 14 years of age so see it as an adult. If it makes you feel better to call me names, it's cool have at it but it is what it is. You know, Clint Eastwood said something VERY appropriate to this once in a movie...
ALL Diezels are. I can't go past 1:00 o'clock on the gain on Mode2 even for heaviest of Metal or once a year when I play something on drop D. I seriously doubt anyone needs or can properly use all the gain an Einstein has on tap. I could probably see a beginner using it past that but as he...
"some" or "like" yes, of course but not enough to call it vintage or Plexi. Two Rock amps are another level and amps that should not be played by anyone with less than 15-20 years experience but that goes for any boutique amp. I always say that less than 15 years experience and you really have...
Maybe I'm missing something here but there's NO Diezel amp that has ANY Marshall tone in it. I know that my Einstein is one of the best amps I've ever played but it's now changing, I just tried a Modena60. Diezels are way too stiff amps, nothing wrong with that and again, I love my Einstein and...
Vintage amps are expensive because they're worth every penny. Plug into an old plexi and crank it and see what happens.
If you can play the Einstein will cover everything you need it to (hell, your Marshall 401 DSL will do that as well. I know I have one) but as someone already pointed out, if...
And also, I can't use any stomp boxes with the Einstein at all, they just robb me of the Einstein killer tone. I like it dry with a gmajor and very little delay/chorus/reverb. I like to go to 3:00 sometimes and crank a little louder just to feel it and what it can do but it's usuaaly 1:00 to...
Hey man I dig 100%. I wish you a healthy Herbert man, I know that's all you're looking for now. :D I also hope it's a very small issue so you could feel good about the purchase. Peter should take care of you good though so you'll be alright.
Merry xMas to you and everyone else here! I'm...
