The Dictionary defines Heretic as a noun meaning either: (1) a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church; or (2) anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine or principle. Such is the new Diamond Heretic.

Built with the same quality construction and components, the Heretic provides a thunderous, full gain tone that’s open, precise and hits you in the chest like a sledgehammer. With a similar gain style to the very tight but powerful Spitfire 2, the Heretic picks up where the Spitfire 2 leaves off. It features a clean channel and two distinct high gain settings in Channel 2.

Built with the same quality construction and components, the Hammersmith is as the name and vintage, yet modern, look suggests. The Hammersmith’s diode clipping gain structure projects lush British-inspired, midrange heavy distortion. Back panel boasts a dialable "deep" control. A new look for Diamond, the Hammersmith is up for anything you can throw its way.

The F-4 is the more cost effective sister to the Phantom. Heavy, percussive distortion tones mark the modern but more moderately priced F-4. A Diamond product through and through, the 2-channel (1 set of tone controls) F-4's back panel boasts a dialable "deep" control, and the front panel has a voicing switch as well. Additionally, new for Diamond in the F-4 is a footswitchable effects loop.

Built with the same quality construction and components, the Nitrox is DA’s most ferocious head. Features DA’s signature dual volume/gain design on Channel 2, voiced for insane gain/crunch tones with huge, tight low end and plenty of mids as well as our heralded clean channel. Black hex pattern steel grille, red LED’s and ready for all voltages. 4 x Svetlana EL34 power tubes and 6 x 12AX7 preamp tubes. 100 watts. 2 button footswitch with TRS/Stereo cable. Comes with Monster™ PowerLine® 100 power cable.

Ranging from 80’s style gain to all out ferocity, Channel 2 also features DA’s signature dual volume/gain design. This feature gives the player the option of having two gain settings (say for a rhythm and lead tone, or more gain for chunky heavy gain-style rhythms and less gain for more precision and clarity when playing more staccato style passages) that are accessible to him on the fly.

1.5 channels and built with the same quality construction and components, the Spitfire is DA’s heralded clean channel with DA’s signature dual volume/gain controls. For added boost and versatility, the Spitfire features a tone-lift boost switch as well, allowing 3 distinct sounds from this amp. Contains a 3-position “low focus” control allowing the player to control the amount and focus of the low end relative to higher frequencies. Half-power switch on rear panel. For a vintage but updated look, the Spitfire amps use a British tan tolex wrapped front panel with inset perforated metal grille on black or matching British tan headshell. Ready for all voltages. 4 x “Winged C” EL34 power tubes and 4 x 12AX7 preamp tubes. 100 watts. 2 button footswitch with TRS/Stereo cable. Comes with Monster™ PowerLine® 100 power cable.

Born from the Del Fuego, our amazingly popular 22watt, Class A, 2 channel fire-breather, the Assassin creates something new -- an 18watt (although the measured output is 26watts) high gain, single channel, gigable and affordable amp suitable for nearly every situation.

Born from the Del Fuego, our amazingly popular 22watt, Class A, 2 channel fire-breather, the Positron takes all the best parts of a Del Fuego and wraps them in a smaller, more portable package that anyone can throw over their shoulder and have their tone to go. The Positron is exactly as the name implies – extremely small and positively charged (to say the least).

Second from our products developed in collaboration with heralded Class A/Vintage guru Roy Blankenship who is now part of the Diamond Family, the Del Fuego is a 22 watt fire breathing, completely gigable, compact shining example of tone and touch sensitivity. Then only limitation to this amp is your fingers! Covered in either black or burgundy snakeskin, the Del Fuego head is a quality, hand-built amplifier in the time-honored tradition of a famous and sought-after early 1960’s British model. It delivers revered vintage-type distortion without the “domestic havoc” and it’s lightweight enough to save your back while still having the power to be gigable even in combination with 2 4x12’s. Each Del Fuego is hand wired on a hand-built fiberglass eyelet board using components selected for reliability and superior sonic character along with Mercury Magnetics transformers. Two channels, one with foot-switchable tremolo (included). The Del Fuego uses three 12AX7, two EL84 power tubes, and one 6CA4 rectifier.

The Balinese is another product from our collaboration with heralded Class A guru Roy Blankenship. We completed this amp a few weeks after my father died. Since his death, I had been listening to a lot of ZZ Top, one of my father’s favorite bands. When listening to the final product, a riff kept running through my head with a tone that mirrored what I was hearing from this amp. Turns out it was ZZ Top’s song, The Balinese. The Balinese was an infamous night club from down south in Houston on Galveston Island, and the subject of the song (“you can dance all night, if it felt alright, drinkin’ whiskey and throwin’ dice. . .”). As a kid, I wore out my father’s 8-track of ZZ Top Fandango, The Balinese being one of the most popular songs from that album. So it became the Balinese. Seemed like a good fit, particularly considering it also happened to me one of my father’s favorite ZZ Top songs.
