You had me at that Robin Trower lick. One of my favorite albums of all time. Great demo dude!

Nice playing mate... love your demos. Great work!

I own this amp and it is a pure tone machine as your demo so boldly shows. I've never played a VH4 or a Herbert but I sold my Soldano HR50 after I purchased the Diezel. Wasn't even close. The Growl that the Einstein has is just awesome!

Great playing Leon and awesome demo!

Totally not my bag but I gotta say, those are some amazing tones. Warm and buzzy heaven. And the way it cleans up from balls to the wall down to light blues overdrive on just the volume knob. That's crazy. Killer demo Leon!

Awesome sounding amp. Super versatile! The great playing helps too! \m/

Thanks for doing a video on this one! I've been curious about this amp for awhile since they can be had for cheap-ish on the used market. It sounds great man!

I think this amp is pretty cool. It has this sort of alien character that would be really inspiring to use, cause it doesn't immediately remind of me of something that already exists.

This was a great in-depth overview, Leon. Thanks buddy.

Wow this look like a very versatile tonal base plateform! Look like you can go anywhere with the right pedals!

The Einstein can get very close to that VH4 channel 3 tone, which is "the Diezel tone" everybody is after, since Tool and Metallica. I really love it with a Tubescreamer with the classic settings (vol up, drive down) in front to boost it. Amp Channel 1, Mode 3, Gain 2-3 o'clock, EQs at 1 o'clock, presence and deep at noon. Try that with your SC.

Great demo and explanation! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon!

Tease Me Please Me just about happens to be my favorite Scorpions -riff, or maybe even song. Fucking brilliant!

Wow! How come you get such unbelievable tones and I can’t😂 Great Playing🤘 and I hope you are having a good day.

Diezel is my favorite amp on the Axe FX, those low mids are my happy place. Sounds great paired with Mesa or Orange too.

Sounds awesome.

That High gain tone got me good at 10:40 nice video!

Damn. This is one of your best sounding demos. maybe the best. Did not expect that with this amp.

Great playing Leon!

That‘s exactelly what I was talking about in your Recto Demo: You don‘t need much tweeking and you get almost every sound you want... 😅

Nice to know that there are other Einstein owners out there besides me.

I had an Einstein and loved it but hated that the modes weren't foot switchable. Bought a Diezel Paul and love it. Can't wait to compare it to the Axe Fx lll Diezel amps ( my Axe Fx comes in tomorrow)! Thanks for the video, Leon.

cool demo and a great amp, owned one for a little while ways back, you can mod the amp as well so you can switch the modes per footswitch instead of having to flick the switch each time, extremely useful, i was considering doing that for a while, before moving on to something else sounded especially nice with the single coils

What a killer amp. Absolutely cool..

Great demo! First time hearing the Einstein - Diezel seems pretty consistent when it comes to making killer amps.

That sounds killer!

I’m saving up for the burny sustainer 85 in white with floyed rose it looks amazing

“Set everything in the middle, and if it doesn’t sound good freak out” -Leon Todd.

Remember this amp wasn´t meant to be Diezel heaviest amp at the time it was launched, for the brutalz you need to try the VH4 or the Herbie. I have the Herbert and is really verastile, beautiful clean channel (doesnt break up) that you can even play jazz with a hollow body, and channel 2 and 3 can hit you in the chest, thunderous lows if you want the heaviest chugs, its 180 watts so it can literally destroy your windows. After I got mine Rectos and Bogners never looked the same. Now with Friedman, Fortin KSR there are a lot more great options but at some point it was the baddest amp.

Very impressed !

Reminds me of the Friedman Naked, Wish there were more of those around so u could try one lol

Hi Leon love your tone videos with the axefx and the many vaive amps since 1980 I have been lucky enough to have owned many great Marshalls Mesas H&K and Black star amps due to illness I now own a Black star idtvp 15 combo its a great platform to recreate many amazing high gain tones and effects have you ever seen one

Beautiful work Leon 👍 You need to experience the VH4 I purchased mine about a year ago and it still excites me every time I’m about to flick that standby switch . I would be more than happy to give you a hammer through the beast as I live in Perth also .

Awesome video! Thanks for your time doing that! I have this amp quite a while and it's a keeper for sure... Tip: If you connect any pedal (even without switching it on) in the parallel fx loop then the sound becomes harsher THEN you come closer to the VH4 3rd channel :-)

That's amazing!

Great demo as always. Curious when you demo these amps how the Axe FX III compares into the same cab with a matrix power amp.

Man I was really impressed how good the strat sounded with it....to me, that is the ultimate test for an amp.

Wow been watching ur vids for a while and only just discovered ur in aus too hahaha

Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) replaced his Marshall years back with a Diezel VH4. I think now he uses Kempers and profiles his Diezel. They have so much gain without sounding very dark. I've never seen this model, this is why I love watching your videos. Find new things all the time! With a name like Einstein it must be the smarter of two models!

Wow great demo not too much chat!

I'm wondering... what pickups are on this Paul Reed Smith? Stock ones? Can you give me some details so I can hope to find them online? Damn I like what you do with that!

Hi Leon - as you said at the end of the video - Diezal amps are not only Heavy sounding - there are very useable amps for almost every kind of music - with a very musical, true tone. A Diezel Paul would sound great in your hands.( I´ve played the blue VH 4 stereo for years).

If you owned this.....had to take an amp to a gig.....would you grab this Diezel or the Soldano ? I actually played a Diezel Paul that I REALLY liked.....almost bought it....dang AX8 has me spoiled though....slightly more vintage voiced, but had that crazy Diezel distortion at its peak....

I played an Einstein for years. I kept the EQ flat, mode 2, gain at 10 o'clock. KT77s are awesome in it. Playing a 6505, now. But, 99% sure I'm going back to Diezel.

I have a modified version of this that I am not sure what was the mod exactly. It was 100W vs. the common 50W and tubes die very fast in that amp even after I rebiased them. But it sounds killer. What a pity they don't make new ones.

Very cool. Just shot the 50 watt version on ebay for 1000 bucks. Hope it is ok when it arrives on Friday :)

All this aside leon could you pleas pull out the boss od 200 and explain the peramiters and stuff and th pre and post im not dialing in alot its sucks i paid alot for tat pedal after seeing your demo thanks in advance tim

What happened to your mark iv vs triaxis video?

Do you think their better than a mesa dual rec Leon?.....i have a chance to get a Dmoll real cheap but ill have to trade mt dual rec to get it......the dmoll has that mid cut section that the Herbert has.....omg dude!...but im on the fence about the trade....

You should try a strat with Zexcoil pickups! They are the most significant change to strat pick ups ever. Not that there is anything wrong with the one your playing.

Hello Leon, wich cabinet, mic and preamp do you use in this sound ?? Also, do you use some filter or plugin (EQ, Filter, cut ) ??

That is an awesome amp. About a year ago when I was amp hunting, I was really thinking about getting this amp. The price isn’t too bad with this one. I’d love to have a VH4 or Herbert but I just don’t have $4,500 laying around haha. Awesome playing as always brother

Very cool - I wonder how this physical amp would compare to the AXFIII's modeler if there is one.

Any problems dialling in the high end Leon?

That Texas mode sounds bloody fantastic.

Reminds me of Metallica "Load" era tone at the start. Wouldn't be surprised if they used some single coil guitar layers on those records for a bit of bluesy twang.

I am an owner of an Diezel Herbert and Einstein, Love these Amps but altough I Love my Mesa Roadking1 and my Fender Twin Reverb, too. Next and Last Amp i Need is an Soldano. Great Job and thanks for showing an Amp of my Country

Dude that was amazing.... Your playing is better and better every time I watch one of your videos!... You would totally slay a deizel Herbert with that drop tuned prs man!.... That would be an awesome video to see bro!.. Herberts are super pricey at around 4 grand u.s.... Makes it hard for a blue collar worker to afford... Like a Friedman be 100 deluxe.... Amawzing amp as well I'd like to see you play!

Very nice! Question - if you could own only one physical amp (e.g. not a modeler) that’s currently in production, which amp would it be? I have an Axe III which I love but I’d also like to add a tube amp for some different kind of fun.

Killer amp just big $$

Have you heard Headfirst Amplification? I know he is a member of the Ceriatone FB but he is doing some pretty cool stuff on your side of the world.

I bought an Amplifire 12 because I loved your tones, and mine sounds like absolute garbage. How the hell do you make everything sound great?

How much is a used Einstein sell for ?

Should I trade my single rec for the Einstein? I am not in love with the fizzyness of the recto.

I really want one of these now edit: Is that some Ozzy I hear at 14:40?

so 50w Einstein or the Dmoll? which one u think guys i found a used Dmoll in amazing condtion and for a good price not sure if it has the footswitch though i got to play it for a sort time but what i played was bad to the bone. I have a 5150 III 50W 1x12 combo was looking to upgrade to a 5150 III 50w stealth head 2x12 cab but now after playing the Dmoll. i want a Diezel super bad people say the Dmoll is a Hifiamp why they say that?

mesa mk IV, Einstein, dsl50. you have great friends! haha

does it chug! lol

Try a VH4.

What happened was just watching the Boogie vs TriAxis and now it's gone?? 😥😥

I've played and sold VHT Pittbull, Laney Klipp, Diezel VH4, Peavey 5150 II, Jcm 800 2210 but i will NEVER sell my Diezel Einstein.. My main amp since 2005.

Nice Video! You point out the versatility of this amp very well. I use an Einstein since 2011 as my main amp. I bought it from this guy at Session Music in Frankfurt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbKPZbakrp7Doas.html :-D I tried the VH4, the Herbert and the Hagen also but the Einstein sounded the best imo. You'll get a very nice overdrive sound with a Les Paul on Channel 1 Mode 2 when you boost it with an OCD. You can also mod channel 1 so you can switch modes with a footswitch - www.tubelit.de/einsteinroadie.html - Cheers from Germany!

yeah, I guess the Rectifier is still my favorite. In my mind is way heavier with tons more bottom growl than a Diezel. I also think I prefer even a high gain Marshall over a Diezel.

Is this less gainy than the Herbert and vh4?

To me, that kind of an amp sounds better with humbuckers.

I bought a Mooer gas station pedal preamp that's modeled after a Diezel Hagen. The gain sound is a great replication through a few effects into a valve power amp but the clean is junk. Billy Corgan run VH4s on the machines of God tour in addition to a literal wall of rack equipment. You can hear it best on the song The Everlasting Gaze. I prefer the mesa boogies Mark 4 and 5. Tony Iommi had the Coliseum 300s on the Live Evil tour, the live album is brutal.

I moved from a 5150 to the Einstein a few tears ago because it’s versatility and of course for the metal sounds. As you said, it’s a great mix between a Recto and a Marshall, best of both worlds and in between. I have played in big clubs my 50w one with an oversized recto 4x12 and can’t imagine ever needing more volume. Don’t know why anybody would need the 100w versión. Btw here is an amazing metal tone out of a Diezel Einstein for these thinking it’s not metal enough: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM-jZNqJlajTk6s.html

Tech N9ne!!!! oh wait wrong Einstein :)

Like the Hagen more

Spend 3k to nail the Proco RAT sound.

I was a little preturbed to say the least you were blamed for fake guitar playing leon.im getting to to the point im not enjoying channels some of my favorites are havjng you tube problems false alleg. On others its becom8ng a drama cetre in the communityits upsetting myfriend ugh.

I spend so much money, after watching all the guitar gear vids, You, Michael Nielson, Baker, Et Al, She wishes I would watch porn instead! :)

More mids lol
