Who Still Has a Diezel Einstein?

[Anonymous]

I am a total Diezel fanboy and have owned a bunch of their amps over the years. Why anyone would want a Einstein is beyond me, it's gotta be the worst sounding of all the Diezel line IMO...

Also being the worst in the Diezel line is still being better than most of the other amps out there so take my opinion on it with a grain of salt.

VH4 is a monster. In a good way. But for my needs, the 50 watt Einstein combo is better since I live in an apartment and rarely get to play guitar now. It's better at lower volumes. And I do think it has a better clean channel and mid-gain channel. Channel 2 on the VH4 was always too stiff and lifeless for me. But the Einstein, in general, is voiced a bit more like a "normal" amp and less hi-fi. Channel 2 on the Einistein is also less compressed than Channel 4 on the VH4. And it has reverb. VH4 shines on channel 3. No other amp can touch it there. The Herbert was kind of blah to me. Forgettable.

The VH4 ch3 is pretty much a industry benchmark of Modern metal/hard rock tone regardless of which version of the VH4 you own (OG 90's blueface, pre-2007, 2008-now).

With the Einstein, I get it, but there are better options for apartment dwelling high gain amps that sound good at low volume. There is a reason they discontinued it.

They discontinued it mainly for monetary reasons; a small company can't keep that big of a lineup. Also, new model = excited RTers and gear whores = more money. When sales are down on another model, it'll get discontinued and you'll see another new one pop up.

Jesus

Is there really no other option ?

Peter, this isn't a knock on you, or your company at all. Business is business, and I'd much rather see an amp company design awesome new stuff, like you do, than people profit from their brand name (you know who you are) and sell sub-par products.
Love my Diezel amps, love the Einstein

Love my Diezel amps, love the Einstein

I´m sorry to be sensitive.
As you know the D-Moll is no sub-par product and has the
features you miss on the Einstein. I love the Einstein too
but there was too many complaints from the customers
concerning the external switching.

To profit from brand name after 20 years is not a bad idea

Cheers,
Peter

Checked the amp out today.
Very versatile amp with lots of sounds in it!
In the end, guess I'm just looking for a Marshall.

If someone is looking for a sweet deal on a very clean Einstein 100, check Dallas TX craigslist. He's selling it for $1500.

If you can make due with a single-channel amp, check out the Ceriatone Chupacabra or Yeti. I think they're coming out with a dual channel version in a bit too.

Those amps look great. I'd love to check one out sometime. They never pop up around these parts.

It's the best sounding amp I've ever owned. Definitely one of the most versatile. I have it up for sale on the Member's classified.

Why was it discontinued?
