The Einstein seems like a pretty good substitute for the VH4 surprisingly! The Herbert sounds a little more extreme and different. A bit ‘hairier’ I think but maybe less defined. Edit: and I found an Einstein combo to buy today, very excited for when it arrives!
It's been a long time since your comment, so do you still have the Einstein and how did you like it? I'm thinking of buying one and doimg some research.
@@BigRiffsRigs I also use Marshalls but would something for clinical high gain tones, have never tried a Diezel in person. What did you make of the Einstein though?
@@eddyray666 Agree they are pricey, but it's a pretty niche market with only a handful of companies making these multi amp/cab switchers, I have a kahayan 8x4 and its great
Channel 2 of the Einstein can get really gainy/mushy. I prefer channel 1, mode 3 on mine. I also run mine with a mix of SED EL34 and 6550 Winged-C tubes. Sounds very punchy. You'd be surprised how much the sound of these amps can change with a tube swap.
I played in a metalcore/hardcore band from 2002-2005 where I used an Ultralead and the other guitarist used a Herbert mk1. Both are top top tier metal amps and can get brutal. That said, they have some pretty significant differences in overall tone and, what you won't hear on a demo....feel. The UL has instant attack, super tight and vicious upper mids. Feel wise, it is like people say: pretty stiff and unforgiving. The Herbert has absolutely immense low end projection....if you want it. More compressed feeling than an UL and there is some give and bounce under the fingers. Overall, I would take a Herbert. Better clean channel, versatile 2nd channel and it feels way better under the fingers. Cray thing is, back when my buddy got his mk1, they were the new big thing for high gain amps and UL's could be had pretty cheap. Now I see UL's going for as much or more than Herbert's.
Einstein sounds cleaner and overdriven in parts. The vh4 sounds throaty and articulate for the big chords. and the Herbert has this tight and punchy in the bass but has that diezel squishyness.
They really should have made an Einstein mkii with mode switching, midi, and balancing the volume difference between mode 1,2,& 3 on channel 1. Would be killer. D-moll replaced the Einstein but doesn’t really sound like it.
nice vid guy, the ein sounded great through that ir, but still had the 2d ir sound, so i guess a real cab and right mic pre on that bad boy, sounds like and end game amp to me
They are all really nice quality amps and i think the Einstein is my favourite of the bunch due to it's tightness, but i suppose the others can be tightened with a TS in front. Overall though, i have never really like the sound of these amps too much, at least not in comparison to Peavey 5150/6505 and Mesa Mark series amps, those are much tighter IMO and the Peaveys are just the perfect metal riffing amp and much less expensive for the tone. What are the general reasons people choose a Diezel over a Peavey/Mesa/other type of metal amp, is it just tonal preference or are the other reasons? Thanks
1) Herbert, 2) Einstein, 3) Vh4 Me Encanta Diezel pero si los tuviera que ordenar de mejor a mejor, el 1 seria el mejor, batallado muy a la par con el Einstein.
I tested almost all Diezels released before Big Max and kept Herbert & Einstein for riffing. Dmoll was tightest but didnt like the sound. I feel like some reviews were not fair, like it is a stereotype that cheaper amp is worse or something. Unfortunately they discontinued the Eisntein.
The KHE looks quit cool but compared with the Ampete it lacks the support for the effect loop. Would be great if the guys from KHE can implement this in the future but as for the moment I would have to buy an Ampete (already thinking about buying one for some time now).
Never liked the d-moll from clips vs the einstein although I'd boost the einstein. The ola video is loose and one of the fatter ones around! All seemed compressed and dark though.
Sure no doubt that. However a lot of times they are just that: miced signals. What I am trying to say is, I don't know how it sounds in the room but to me, seems that every other diezel amp tracks better. Even from the ola video from monster of hi gain for premier guitar.
@@81giorikas I know what you mean. I've never played a VH4 and my buddy says it not metal. I'm like whhaatt! Check out his channel. TheSubmanCometh. He has a TON of amps. It was his Dmoll I played
They are basically all the same. Its easy, do you want to spend 5 grand, or 2 ? I could tweak the Einstein to sound like both of the others, easily, and I wouldnt have to mod shit. I cant believe the difference in money after listening to the clips. If I was a big Diezel guy, Id be pissed at Peter Diezel for simply teasing and confusing everyone with such close amps. They are too close alike, to be too far apart in price, its UTTERLY ridiculous.

The Einstein is my all time favorite diezel amp ever !
Very similar indeed. That riff/backing tracking never gets old, killer riffs- and an amazing amp collection!
One of the best gear youtube channels by far. BY FAR
Thanks ! ☺️☺️☺️😘

@@geomusicmove I don’t. Only Marshall and fender (style) amps. I prefer less gain now
@@BigRiffsRigs I also use Marshalls but would something for clinical high gain tones, have never tried a Diezel in person. What did you make of the Einstein though?
@@geomusicmove they have a very thick tone, they don't really sound like other high gain amps
Spoke to the KHE guy, seems really nice, and price wise these are very competitive to say an Ampete
I have to say though man, still way overpriced for what it is, in my opinion.

That riff is just sooo good
I keep coming back to this video for the Einstein. I need one!
Dude that switcher is sick
I’m loving it
Nice! I'd love to hear a comparison between the Herbert and the Fryette UL/100CL you have in the background there, if you have some time :)

Great vid, just the comparison I was hoping for having both a VH4 and Herbert and looking to get an Einstein.
Einstein sounds cleaner and overdriven in parts. The vh4 sounds throaty and articulate for the big chords. and the Herbert has this tight and punchy in the bass but has that diezel squishyness.
They sound quite close to each other. I think the Einstein is a bit tighter overall.
Herbert \m/
They really should have made an Einstein mkii with mode switching, midi, and balancing the volume difference between mode 1,2,& 3 on channel 1. Would be killer. D-moll replaced the Einstein but doesn’t really sound like it.
Just me or is the vh4in a class of its own?
Hebert, Einstein, VH4 in that order for me. Thought I'd like the VH4 better.
good job Lasse!
Great demo!
nice vid guy, the ein sounded great through that ir, but still had the 2d ir sound, so i guess a real cab and right mic pre on that bad boy, sounds like and end game amp to me
As I hear it, the VH4 sounds the tightest, the Einstein a little fizzy, the Herbert a little mushy.
I have a modded Einstein that made me sell off my VH4, i loved my VH4 to.
I just bought a einstein, what mods did u have done?

Probably mainly features/flexibility and just to have something different. They also look cool. But over and over again, I stick to a 5150 block.
NICE!!
1) Herbert, 2) Einstein, 3) Vh4
Me Encanta Diezel
pero si los tuviera que ordenar de mejor a mejor, el 1 seria el mejor, batallado muy a la par con el Einstein.
Fuck they all sound killer!
Einstein is so angry?? Didn't know. I thought is medium gain amp.
nah, it's actually kinda between the Herbert and VH4 tone wise IMO
I tested almost all Diezels released before Big Max and kept Herbert & Einstein for riffing. Dmoll was tightest but didnt like the sound. I feel like some reviews were not fair, like it is a stereotype that cheaper amp is worse or something. Unfortunately they discontinued the Eisntein.
They all sounded sooooo FUZZY. Why?
The KHE looks quit cool but compared with the Ampete it lacks the support for the effect loop. Would be great if the guys from KHE can implement this in the future but as for the moment I would have to buy an Ampete (already thinking about buying one for some time now).
working hard on some new versions... :)
@@kheaudio great to hear that! :)
Me hubiera gustado que estuviera el Diezel Hagen :/
HERBERT !!!!
Can it do stereo, or just 1 cab & amp @ a time?
Not as much a fan of the blueface vh4, it’s too stiff. I think the Herbert was the winner in this video.
Is the Einstein as good as a D-Moll?
Never liked the d-moll from clips vs the einstein although I'd boost the einstein. The ola video is loose and one of the fatter ones around!
All seemed compressed and dark though.
@@81giorikas yeah but videos are never like actually playing the amp. UA-cam audio is very compressed. I've played a D-Moll and it was sick

Is there a khe that switches amps cabs and fx loops?
I think the latest version does that
@@LasseLammert ok thx for the info!
Vh4 is seems more open.
Can I buy the blue face lol 😂 but fr
The Einstein sounds sludgy and loose, the VH4 has a very nice upfront defined sound. Don't like the Herbert.
Luuk Meijwaard: They all sound the same.
They are basically all the same. Its easy, do you want to spend 5 grand, or 2 ? I could tweak the Einstein to sound like both of the others, easily, and I wouldnt have to mod shit.
