Selling amp now (on CL Los angeles if you're interested). Waaaay too loud for my needs, doesn't have a 100/50 watt switch like VHT/Fryette, Rivera or Mesa amps. And doesn't have Marshall crunch (I know it's not a marshall but whatever). Has a very intimidating dungeon sound with the deep knob...

How can I dial in some Marshall-esque tones with the Einstein? I have EL34's btw. thx.

first of all: if you like that shitty nasal lead sound (good for you). I have owned III, IV, V and the V was overall the best, great clean channel by far. They sounded very similar (with different cabs? how's that apples to apples comparison?) but how do they feel different? pick attack and...

that's a good kalak, i like that idea. just returned my POD HD500x to sweetwater. rent for free (well you have to pay shipping back).

+1 I got a 100 watt einstein and it's a demi-god. if you want to have daffy duck sounding leads like LoG metal band then get the Mark series. Also, never liked the fact that Mesa's were fixed bias. Seems convenient but it's none of their business... I didn't know GC had diezels, need to...

ok that's what i thought but maybe the screwdriver wasn't long enough...

ok so did it the right way this time (removed one fuse at a time per recording). one pair of tubes registered at 55ma. the other 67ma. so at least they're not way too hot. better? oh, i still don't understand how to change the bias using a small flathead screwdriver. is that what those...

http://web.archive.org/web/20080403211724/diezel.typo3.inpublica.de/tech-corner.3.0.html got this from eurotubes. why do you have to remove the fuse and how do you know which fuse to remove (e.g. there are 2 fuses on the back of the amp with LED's)? Also, there are 2 black things in front of...

from the user's manual: "Einstein has 5 speaker jacks. 1 for a 16Ohm load, 2 for 2 16Ohm loads or 1 8Ohm load, and 2 for 2 8 Ohm loads or 1 4 Ohm load. Confusing? Oh yes! Just do what it says on the jacks, and you’ll be fine" I have been running 8ohm jack on Diezel into the 8ohm jack on my cab...

I would say the older NIN was like a hurricane. scary, evil and instense sounding. new NIN: bathroom music.

It's funny how people learn to deal with (or appreciate?) these insane climate change examples. 2-3 hurricanes simultaneous? Is it ok? what if they merge? Is that ok? or $5 gas. sure that becomes ok eventually.

ok apparently this is a lame topic. change to the current weather news: 3 hurricanes approaching Hawaii. run!!!!! no the weather is just fine. just fine.

just the fact that DwS was recorded in tate murder house (phase 1) and now he has female backup singers (phase 2) means some intensity is gone. with a name like NIN, you simply can't have female backup singers. have I stressed this enough? NIN was badass, but with the normal haircut...

how is this thread related to rig talk? what jackass started this thread?

i'm not going to buy another cab, bought waaay too much stuff recently. i'll stick with what i got. just played thru single 12" of gflex at home and it was waaaay better than the V30 in my DSL40c. That sounds like it has a blanket over it compared to the diezel. same guitar, cable, fx unit, etc.

Einstein

Celestion V30? I have basically those in my GFlex (75 watts each) and it's ported but it sounded poor compared to the 412 mesa with ms-12's 150 watts each. The latter was a truly inspiring combo. WDYT?

very good point. Tosin Abasi seems to be using EMG's at least some of his 8 string guitars but seems like he uses many different pickups according to wikipedia. He is one of the pre-eminent jazz/metal guys out there. So if it works for him, it would be good enough for me. But my hands are...

Never buy a new Rivera, you'll lose a lot of money on the used sale. Low demand in used market somehow...

Also, as an added bonus, b/c the ch 2 has so much sustain (more like a violin) even w/o a boost, I actually started experimenting with tapping which I've basically never attempted seriously before. So the technique was altered due to the amp as well. I noticed that I didn't really even need to...
