Chapter One: Safety and Warranty 1.1 Safety warnings We would like to stress the importance of the following points, for reasons of your personal safety, product longevity and product liability. Do not use the Amplifier in or near wet locations Do not store the Amplifier in damp or wet locations Do not operate the Amplifier on voltages other than those designated on the rear panel of the amplifier. Do not open the panels of the amplifier. No user serviceable parts inside.
Chapter Two: Using Your Einstein 2.1 Mains Connections, Power and Standby 2.1.1 Mains/Connection to Power Outlet Please make sure that both switches (Power and Standby) are in the off position before connecting to the mains circuit. Verify line voltage before connecting the power cord. Never start Einstein without connecting speakers to the proper terminals. (See 3.2.5) 2.1.2 Power up, Warm up, Standby off First, turn the Power switch to on (facing up). The indicator light will turn on.
Chapter Three: Peripheral Connections 3.1 Front Panel Connections 3.1.1 Input Jack The input jack (“IN”) receives your Electric Guitar signal by means of a shielded guitar cord with 1/4” mono style plug. Your guitar cord is an important part of your signal chain and its quality and construction type clearly affect the overall tone of your rig. Try and buy the best quality guitar cord that you can or want to afford. Call us if you have doubts and need recommendations.
3.2 Rear Panel Connections 3.2.1 Send/Return Loop The system consists of 2 separate Loops. It allows creation of effects path in either serial or parallel configurations. The individual channel volume controls determine the signal strength at the send jacks. The range is ... to +10dB. The output impedance is 4.7 kΩ. To use the Send/Return Loops, connect the “Send” to the “return” or “input” or “in” of the effects unit. Be sure to adjust the input level of the effects unit to the amplifiers level.
3.2.4 Compensated Out A frequency corrected signal will leave this jack if you connect it to a mixer or recording device. Use it to quietly compose or send an auxiliary signal to a console etc. Always make sure that your amp is hooked to either a speaker or a load (i.e. THD Hot Plate). 3.2.5 Speaker Connections Einstein has 5 speaker jacks. 1 for a 16Ohm load, 2 for 2 16Ohm loads or 1 8Ohm load, and 2 for 2 8 Ohm loads or 1 4 Ohm load.
Chapter Four: Two Pre-Amplifiers 4.1 Pre-Amplifiers and their Jobs The Diezel Einstein comes equipped with 2 different and totally independent preamps. This allows the artist to play through nearly all musical-styles without having to make major changes to his/her amplifier. The preamps are voiced todeliver the most wanted guitar tone flavors: Clean, Crunch, Heavy, Lead. This design concept delivers stellar guitar sounds with excellent playability, warm dynamics and razor sharp equalization possibilities.
Chapter Five: Power Amplifier 5.1 Tone and Volume of the Power Amplifier 5.1.1 Master Volume As the name suggests, this controls the overall, volume of the amplifier. There is also a second, selectable master volume control, which allows volume adjustments via remote control device while playing. 5.1.2 Presence The presence knob controls frequencies over 3kHz.
5.2.3 Life Span Power tubes last 1 to 3 years, depending on care, volume and frequency of use of the amplifier. If you use your amp only once a month, then the tubes will last much longer. Really. We have heard tubes that are over 10 years old, but it was not a good thing. Tubes age very slowly; slow enough for the artist to get used tothe changing tone. To keep things fresh, and to keep your tube dealer in business, we recommend re-tubing, cleaning and biasing once a year if the amp is used frequently.
Chapter Seven: Maintenance and Cleaning 7.1 Cleaning Never use anything wet to clean the amplifier, any amplifier. Usually, it issufficient to wipe down the outside of the amp with a slightly moist cleaning rag. Do not use abrasive cleaning chemicals. Sometimes a vacuum cleaner can be usedto remove dust and dirt from nooks and crevices. Do not remove the chassis from the housing to clean the amp; the inside of your amp carries dangerous Voltages. 7.2 Care Be gentle with this Amplifier.
