you can hear very good kind of the "same" ground-tone on both (as well as on the VH4, which i also A/B/C-ed with Herbert and Einstein when i bought Herbi), but Herbert is (when its about high gain) waaaaaaayyy more the tight-low-end-beast, especially with mid-cut engaged - Einstein is more loose and also veryvery open sounding against the herbert, which is more on the compressed side (but not as much as the VH4(esp.CH3)).

i love the cleans on my herbert, but man - the einstein has TEH cleans. while herbert has this over-the-top-clean, alsmost piano like sparkling bright...einstein can go from tthat to almost fender-twin-like and back to beyond. amazing.

i can give you a more detailled review beginning of next week - just could compare ~15 minutes and will spend much more time on the weekend with it!

EDIT: you often read/hear that the einstein is more "vintage"-sounding or something - it is definitely not. still a modern tone, and you can also get awesome metal tones out of it. its just not that evil as the herbert is.
