Genz Benz El Diablo 60C 112 Combo

More than enough. Recently released, my unit died on the 4th day. Looking into options now.

Sounds excellent with both humbuckers and single coils. Warm tones if you want them, or screaming highs if you want those. The tonal versatility of this amp was why I got it.

Dead on the third time powered up. this is not good.

I have email in now. I hope the dealer takes care of this for me.

Great amp - when it works. The infant mortality should not happen with tube gear. Makese me wish I'd stuck with solid state. No opinion yet. Let's see how support works out first. Be advised, however, that this has happened.

What can I say. Flexible enough for any style of music. Built like a tank...militay specs. 10 different amp comfigurations on a 4-button footswitch. 60/30 watt selectable all-tube power. Tone that can make you weep, or tear your face off. This is a hard amp to beat. Line outs, selectable speaker extension cab options, 15db boost or cut on all tone controls, individual reverb sends for each channel, effects loop AND a built in tube bias section.....you heard me. Built in. All you need is an ohm-meter and basic comprehension skills.

I use anything from a US Strat with a Pearly Gates Humbucker and 2 Texas Special singles to a Floyd Rose/EMG/Lado custom. I play rock, blues and anything your mother would hate. The clean channel can sparkle or growl, your choice. Switch to a single coil pickup and its clear as ice, roll back to the humbucker and look out Angus. There are two main channels, Warm and Hot. Each channel has the option of a selectable Attack Level, which is basically an adjustable frequency boost for solos or mix cutting. In addition, the Hot channel has any combination of classic or high gain, and dynamic and compressed sound. All accessable on the footswitch, I might add. The 60/30 watt mode (pentode and triode) allows you to change the amps overall characteristics from a vintage warm sound to a high gain assult. Did I mention the tube contour control that lets you adjust the signal level loaded to the tubes? Go from warm to aggressive, or somewhere in-between. When this amp is turned up, it punches you in the guts with a half stack sound, and its only a single 12.

Just bought the thing, but from what I understand it is built to last. 3 year transferrable warranty.

I understand that the guys that built this thing are true gentlemen, and are more then happy to help you out. Brings a tear to my eye.

I bought this amp to replace my Yamaha Dg100-212, and I was very skeptical about how I could replace something that versatile. So far, I haven't looked back. Can't wait to gig with it. I've usually been a solid-state kind of guy, never wanted a tube amp. Then I heard this beast. I have never had this kind of response to a tube amp before. I've been knocking around the bar/club scene for over 10 years, and I worked in music retail for almost as long. I've seen amps come and go. Fads, lads and guitars with plaid. Fixed bridges and whammys, young chicks and grannys, but in the end they will all scream El Diablo. Jeff Genzler hit a home run with this design.
