The little Diavlo 1 watter seems pretty legit for 250 bucks. F/X loop and errything.

There was a lot of gain in that demo, which is kind of funny after he spoke of dialing back low end gain to keep it clear.

Good for Mike. I wonder if that means he's not doing custom amps anymore.

I'm not a fan of the sound at all. Cool interview low, and cool idea with the treble and bass gain being separate.

Well, it was a horribly done clip. I wouldn't write it off yet. :-)

The effects loop on the Diavlo sounds really interesting.

Ibanez RG7621 w BK Rebel Yell
BRJ Hesperian 727
Les Paul Special
BC Rich NJ Series Ironbird

Would like to hear a demo with some hard rock riffs like vh, Gnr, . I know these are mainly geared for metal though but I bet they would sound killer for mid gain stuff too.
