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. |
Nice one man, cheers for the info! I've AB'd the Herbert and VH4, but not the Einstein. One day it might be nice to have a smaller, less complicated amp, alongside my VH4. The Einstein certainly sounds great! Is yours the 50 or 100w version?
