Peter Diezel

Hey Maz ! The power tube sockets on the Herbert are made of ceramik. They are chassis mounted and the pins are soldered into the PCB. Best, Peter

Originally posted by Rufus Leaking Steel is not aluminum either Congratulations, we have a winner :D Btw, the Herbert has an extra frontpanel which has 4 mm aluminium. So we have 2 mm steel and 4 mm aluminium.

Originally posted by Rufus Leaking FWIW; The Mako chassis is 3.2 mm (.125") thick hard anodized aluminum. Chassis mounted porcelain tube sockets. Mil-spec hand soldering etc... Aluminium is not steel

Originally posted by inferno79 I thought a mix of Greenbacks and V30 works exceptionally well with the Einstein when I had the opportunity to do side by side comparison with several cabs. Today I ordered two Greenbacks for my all V30 cab. Schon mal probiert Peter? Ja, klingt auch nicht schlecht !

Originally posted by cloudnine Milk and sugar please What speakers do you find work well with Einstein? I have a '72 Marshall 4x12 with Greenbacks but I think you mentioned that you test with V30s and that is what the Diezel cabs are loaded with. For clean and crunch You are good with the greenbags. For highgain I prefer the V30.

Originally posted by JamesPeters Procure, provide, etc. He said it as though they would in an old western movie with cowboys. Good morning, Peter! It's only 2:25am here. I had a nap earlier, so I'm awake now. I'll be going to bed soon though. Take a beer

Originally posted by cloudnine I saw that place, very weird dealer. Seems to be online-only and with tax the 50w Einstein would be $4000 Canadian = $3700 US Hi Sean ! Einstein 20 kg Herbert 28 kg Go to bed now !!! ...........

Originally posted by JamesPeters Anyone else see what's funny about this, or is it just me? The Herbert is a great amp. I won't argue preference, but it's one of the best high gain amps I've ever heard. Good Morning James Are You still awake

Originally posted by Snider Well then I guess my bandmate is hearing this too as he has an Einstein and sold his Herbert as the Einstein killed it in the band setting.The Einstein is a better amp.The Einstein has a much fuller frequency range and is a bit more organic sounding but that said still not as good as the other stuff I have . The two -Two Rock amps I have are not Two Rocks, one is completely gutted by Bill from TR and the other was made from scratch. They are three channels with independent eq, Clean, Dumble (2nd channel) as well as a high gain Marshall style circuit for the high gain stuff(3rd Channel) which not one Two Rock ever made contains, not this circuit anyway. As far as Fuchs goes- a Zendrive pedal into any Fender is that that tone or close enough, lots of gain, rolled off highs with the proper mids is an easy emulation of the Fuchs. I have owned 5 fuchs including a 100 watt SLX modded amp so I am familiar with the tones. I can make either of my Krinards sound exactly like a fuchs but not vice versa. If the amps I have right now were not better than the Diezels, Mako CH100, VHTs and Two Rocks and Bogners and Fuchs etc, I would still have some of them but everything has been booted by the Suhr OD100SE with Whomp which is pretty damn cool, and the two Krinards which are amazing. I hope the Cauble shakes up the roost next. It is all subjective and I hope you like the Herbert but I can guarantee within a year you will not own it anymore because you have a good set of ears and are used to the HotCat and Z which share nothing with Herbie. As I have said , the Herbert sounds great in a room by itself. It sounds great at low volumes. It sounds good in power trios.It will not cut it in live situations and if you don't believe me then ask Neil Schon or James Hetfield or Buckethead or Adam Jones or a bunch of other guys who play live. I am back to thinking a VH4S is a good amp for me. I really enjoyed that amp and it sounded quite good in the band setting. That blended with my Krinard 100 running dry in the center and the VH4S stereo on each side would be a sweet thing. Hi Steve I hope You and Diezel are well

Originally posted by thegame Have I played a Diezel amp? I've bought, played, jammed with, recorded, and sold a Diezel amp for your information. Here's the deal; I'm not saying the Diezel chassis is particularly weak, I'm saying that when moderate force is applied to the middle of it (in the back) the chassis moves in and out a bit. Mine did, thats for {censored}ing sure. What does that have to do with the operation of the amp? Nothing! But here's the point; lets say you (or a roadie who doesn't give a {censored}) drops it and it lands on a hard surface of some sort, like stairs or the edge of a cabinet. That spot is going to dent and push the componets around inside! The point of bringing Mako and Wizard into the equation regarding build quality is that you'd have to pound on the chassis with a {censored}ing hammer to make the slightest indentation on the chassis of those amps. A friend of mine accidently dropped his Wizard down a 13 stair flight of stairs and that amp bounced 3 or 4 times on the way down and landed hard on concrete. The wooden headshell was damaged but the chassis was unscathed. Afterwords when plugged in the Wizard performed perfectly. Would a Diezel still work after being put through that? Maybe, maybe not, but I think the chances of a Diezel working perfectly after such an accident (or other blatant abuse) would be less than that of a Wizard or Mako. Nonsense ! The Herbert chassis has a thickness of 2 millimeters. I have never seen this size on other amps. I had one that was fallen down from a stack and worked perfectly. Please stop telling bull{censored} ! Thanks, Peter

Originally posted by vidnotlaw I believe that is who I spoke with. That is Salwender International, correct? I am pretty sure that is the place I had called. I never actually purchased the upgrade, I only spoke with them about it. Please don't get me wrong... you build great amps!!! It just wasn;t the sound for me at the time I was using it. Who knows, maybe some day I'll buy another Diezel! I have yet to hear the VH4 or the newer stuff like the Einstein. I am not sure if what I call 'sizzle' is the same thing as high end buzz! Take for instance the Marshall JCM 2000 that I had. Too me that was a VERY buzzy amp. I did not care for it much at all. And that amp has a very muddy low too me as well! The others amps that I own have 'sizzle' but I would not relate it to high end buzz. Everybody has a different tone in there head and if an amp they find makes that tone come to life... THAT is all that matters! Take care, Vid Thanks
