Diezel Einstein, thoughts??

[PBGas]

I had one and I loved the Plexi channel. It sounded fabulous!
However, it was a mistake and was not the amp that I expected. When I think back, I should have went for what I originally was wanting to get.

Don't get me wrong here, it is a very well built amp like all Diezels are, but it just wasn't what i was looking for.

What about the VH4 didn't you like? You might just not like the Diezel sound. The VH4 is a very unique feeling amp. I hated it the first time I plugged in because it felt so strange, like it was pushing back against me. But you get use to it. However the Einstein feels more like a normal amp. Still sounds like a Diezel though.

To me, the older ones are a totally different beast than the newer ones.

The older ones seemed to need a lot more volume to give up the goods.

Newer ones, not so much.

IMHO, the newer ones have more gain and compression, so they sound "better" at lower volumes (the tone changes less as you turn it down), but once turned up the newer ones sound a bit smaller and generic some how. Both sound great, don't get me wrong, but if I could turn it up, I'd prefer the older one that I had.
