I wrote a review on this amp, opinion erased when switching to the latest version of the site.
So I ressers testing, but short.
100w amp head, all supplied by four EL34 power tubes.
Two sections of eq, adjustable between two modes for the top section with the aptly named "1" for his lead and "2" for the very lead. Downstairs, another section allocated as follows: "1" clean, "2" crunch sounds at low gains, "3" of rock crunch are already more Home Team.
As every head diezel I know, you can order the head Footswitchable noon. I can not remember if it is provided.
Effects loop in series + parallel effects loop, a direct out, enough to connect its cabs and walked out.
At the finish, it is fully assumed in the rigor of Teutonic manufacturer. It's ugly, but some find it beautiful. But in any case it is stable.
Side of the electronics, as too often in guitar amplification, there is a printed circuit board industry with ten welds made by a human, all for 2,450 euros.On Diezel may leave the credit for particularly well developed a card printed and you run the 12 welds cleanly. But the work / price suffers. Similarly, I have big doubts about making 100% German announced by Diezel. I find here the type of component and assembly of many good products to Chinese (TAC C60, AstinTrew3500 and others).

UTILIZATION

No, the configuration is not simple. Indeed, a wise guy has said he would put all the best sounds on one channel, and on the other, all we probably never will use. A stroke of genius that makes the grip of this head inadequate. Want to use a clean and a crunch in one piece ... BEN PAAAAS YOU CAN! Nianianiah! Then you can always lower your lead-up it is, a bit a crunch, but how to bite and openness are not the same for one channel or another. Well there you are bored.

SOUNDS

In this respect, the Einstein contains many sounds that can be pleasant. I actually found the signature of the least built around an electric buzz, and I hate signing which is an attribute of most of her peers. The phenomenon is less pronounced here.
The cleans are good, clinical course, but there is air, good clarity and the ability to exploit large volumes. For some guitarists these sounds are also close to the nirvana of guitar, a matter of taste in the end.
When one switches to crunch, the amp is not the most vintage, a little harsh sometimes, but never sterile. The sounds are very good crunch pushed up and I believe the true interest of the amp. They have a very stable foundation and a good organic base to exploit the amp in a lot of applications. In terms of lead, I'm skeptical. I have not been deceived, but are clearly not the sounds that I like in an amp. Let's say it is "the lead sound diezel" as some like, and it is there.
One point I forgot to mention ... I'm not a fan of the dynamics, which I find totally improved. We have seen better, it was better, and much cheaper. Here the amount of sound you can get out with your wrist and your finesse game will find a limit. This is unfortunate and confirms yet, suddenly, a note so severe that category.

OVERALL OPINION

This is clearly not a bad amp. Some affectionneront for its sounds a little less extreme than his brothers, more in touch with what is beautiful in a guitar sound. But for me, and for that price, we are in front of a product which is struggling to find good arguments. Maybe the competition has it become too strong, but the most excellent Müller Nighthawk, and some other Fryette Splawn, besides newcomers like blackstar or Carol-Ann. All these beautiful people is placed in its path with a multitude of sounds and good ergonomics almost always best for comparable prices.
I also specify that I re-write this memory test, the missile was tested about 4 years ago. If an error were to be slipped, thank you complain to the new site Audiofanzine via your nearest confessional.
