Default Diamond Amps

Anybody ever played a diamond amp? After watching those 2 youtube vids, it looks like some badass quality stuff. They make everything they use from scratch, all american made, all hand wired, ect. Even the pc boards arnt imported. The even have quite a few big endorsers like Rusty Cooley.

I've seen reviews of their high-gain and their 'vintage rock' heads, and both were excellent. I have never played one though.

Generalizations are overrated.

I do recall something about Rusty endorsing those amps as its a friend or relative of his (or at least, I think thats the case - could easily be wrong) but they do appear to be excellent amplifiers.

Sadly, I can't give any first hand reports.

Although sweet jesus they're pricey, but I guess when it is all hand-wired and USA made

I'm easily impressed but thats a cool website and they have some very decent reviews over the last couple of years. Prices are pretty reasonable over here at least and there's a dealer quite near me so if I get a chance I'll wander over for a look.

To save posting twice - there's a lot of raving about a fender clean tone, a Marshall lower-gain tone and a compressed Engl-type tone when unleashed. I think it sounds all too good to be true but damn...I really want to check one out to satisfy myself
