Diezel Einstein

Has enough features for my taste. Perfect would be if all three modes where footswitchable. There exist a mod which makes this possible which is said to be an easy procedure. But for what i do i am satisfied for what it is.

What guitar and pickup styles are you using it with? The guitars i use with it are: Ibanez Fender JS1, Andy Timmons AT 300, Fender Strat YJM, Ibanez JEM FP. Would love to have a Les Paul too but that will follow later.
How does it suit your music style (and what is that style)? I don`t have a music style. I love just every music out there being listenable. If i had to pick som favourites i would take the following: Maurizio Colonna: Camargue, Barrios: Choro de Saudade, Dyens Tango en Skai, Wang Huiran Yi Dance, Andy Timmons: A night to remember,Joe Bonamassa Sloe Gin, Django Reinhardt Minor swing, Joe Satriani, Vai, AC/DC,Simple Minds, U2 and many many others.
I use the amp from Jazz to Killswitch engage.
This amp suits every style playable on electric guitar.
What kind of sounds can the amp make? How much variety? The amp has a very, very warm, violinesque tone with loads of sustain. Think of Hand on Heart out of the box. The character of each guitar used shines extremly well through. Don`t even need pedals to sound like Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Timmons with the responding guitars and some tweaking. The clean is just killer nothing more to say about that. I don`t want to bash other amps but the Einstein blows my Peavey out of the water, up to the moon and way back again. It`s like comparing a VW Golf to Ferraris topmodell. That doesn`t mean the JSX isn`t a very good amp, it just means the Einstein is that good.
Is the clean channel distorted at high volumes? In what settings? I have the 100 Watt versions and it has as much headroom as you want. If you want SRV just switch over to mode 2 channel 1.How brutal is the distortion?
Its brutal enough for Killswicht Engage, Alter Bridge, Metallica which means its brutal enough for me. Any questions left? Send me a mail. And by the way: Bedroom levels: You won`t find anything else coming close. You don`t need a beedroom amp if you have the Einstein and want to use it for this application too. Clearly the louder you turn it the better it gets, but likewise also for low volumes i can`t imagine a better option. Did i forget something? Send me an e-mail.

Will comment on this aspect when i had it for at least 5 years.

Diezel is known to have an excellent customer support and Peter Diezel, Olaf and Terry make enormous efforts at RigTalk to help their customers. So i guess this is a no brainer.

Have played for about 30 years on and off and the last 5 years quite intensively. Being able to play everything from La Catedral to Far beyond the sun i would say i do ok as a guitar player. I am very picky when it comes to tone. Have upgraded my classical guitars from a handmade Koessl to a Ramirez Elite. That is a 12 000 USD upgrade. When you compare that to the upgrade from a JSX to an Einstein the Einstein is a gift. My tip: Buy it you will never regret it. I played a Bogner XTC, Shiva, Elmwood Modena, Mesa Roadster,Marshall JVM, Cornford MK2, ENGLs and even if they are great amps taking the Einstein is a no brainer to me.

I just sold my three Marshall heads, I replaced them With Three 2006 Diezel Einstein 100 watt heads,I use all three stacks on stage with Knockout John, I play Lead guitar and have searched all my life for that special lead tone, I found it with the Einstein, It has two channels, I don't need three or four channels so this one is perfect, The tone controls are awesome! there is like five different amps in this little stinker by just tweeking the mid-treb-deep controls. This amp has enough power to destroy 4-12 cabs, period! I use six marshall cabs, trust me.

This amp is the most warm sounding amp I have ever heard, It has a massive bottom end, yet it has a beautiful lead voice that cuts great in the mix, Most amps and i have tried most of them, dont have both' A great rhythm sound and great lead tone, It's one or the other. A perfect lead tone is very important to me ala- Steve Vai-Michael Schenker-Neal Schon. Then this amp rules the rhythm world like a hostage camp, The thing i like most is that nobody uses this amp yet so my sound is different then everyone else's sound and it rules.

Dont Know Yet! Good so far!

I bet they will be good!

I have been playing for 25 years and my search for tone is over, At least im not looking all the time now at every new amp that comes out. Ok one thing, I really tried to like Soldano, Just no bottom end, Vht well the Lead tone was not me, Most Boogie's Sounded like a blender and i owned a ton of um, Marshall was King but they stopped growing and making new stuff 15 years ago just a bunch of regurg, Bogner warm but the lead tone lacked, Custom Audio Electr, Not Even one good rhythm Sound in there, The Diezel Einstein is the most beautiful but DESTRUCTIVE Amp i have ever played.
