Is anybody NOT using the usual suspects (talking about amps) for metal tones?

yeah, doesn't sound bad (I would never say the Einstein does sound bad), it's just the stupid center freq of the bassknob that makes it unusable for me.
not that it's got too much lowend or that the speaker can't handle it, just that the lowend controlled by the bass pot is more low mids and that that particular frequency is pretty "dröööhn". the depth works more like an actually bassknob frequencywise imo.

I'm using the Einstein on my bands current Demo, but I'm actually thinking about reamping it through 6505 now.
overall I really think the Einstein sounds very much like a 6505...just less brutal and more "kultiviert".
all a matter of taste I guess

yeah, i guess its matter of taste. but i had the 6505 and i honestly do not like the tone at all for music where the mids / notes are important (which for most young guitarplayers is irrelevant anyways ;-)
it sounds somehow hollow and lifeless. still i love the tone you
get out of the 5150 you posted.

well i gotta combine the einstein with the mark V that a friend of mine got 2 days ago...

einstein alone works for me, but still is not THE amp, if you know what i mean ;-)

maybe kultiviert goes for all diezels... i had a vh 4 to record a bands album,
combined it with dual recto. without the recto its too dry for my taste...
guess thats diezel...

yeah, I'm really interested in trying the Herbert though.
Looking forward to hearing your opinion about the MKV, I guess it'll blend quite nicely with the Einstein for a unique tone. would be great if you post something.
I'd also love to hear some more Einstein clips in "not myspace quality". sounds really good on myspce already
 
I use a Crate Blue Voodoo for live playing but I haven't been able to get a good tone recording it at home. I think it's because I'm not turning it up to volume level 7 at home like I would when playing live.

diezel einstein !!

not really a metal amp, as its very unforgiving , hehe.
if you suck, this amp will let the world know, harhar.

i use it all the time, have 2 of them, one 6l6 and one el34 !

I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong, but are you saying extremely unforgiving amps are not useful for metal? :confused:
If anything, I'm in favor of more people using amps like that, because it will teach them the values of being super tight players.
If that makes enough people quit trying to record, at least then we would only be left with people that can play their asses off:lol:

when i had einstein, vh4 and herbert in a direct comparison,

1. einstein
2. vh4
3. herbert

its just too saturated for my taste...remindes me a little of digital amps...
but the comparison was only like plug in - play one riff - plug in to next amp. this doesnt do the herbert justice, i know ;-)

but as we all now, standing in front of an amp is not what the recorded tone in a mix will sound like - so i sure will give the herbert a try.
if you like, i post an einstein clip on my soundclick, maybe 2 riffs from that song (i think the band wont mind)

i also recorded an einstein song with a mesa cab (that i got because i loved your tone :) i will post samples from when its mixed, i guess next week.
maybe well blend with the mkv...

no, extremely unforgiving amps are the way to go for great players AND for metal of course...
but as we all know, metal (core) is the new punk... if you pickup in instrument
nowadays your first band will be metal.. at least in my experience...

i hate to admit it, but line 6 makes everyone sound exactly the same,
as its compressing the shit out of the signal. i love '6 for cleans,
but i feel that songs i've written on my toneport its 10 times as hard to nail them with my einstein... way too many techy bands out there that cant actually nail their stuff..
