All dj t said. This is a full 100 W lamps with more than one connection complte, it lacks the afternoon. Apart from the traditional rglages, we have rglages "Tube" and "Attack". The first allows you to weigh between saturation "tube" and a saturation transistor (I'm not sure what I am saying, but the effect has given me). The other is actually a boost.

UTILIZATION

I read in the opinion that the config Previous n'tait not easy and, to some extent, yes. Before this amp, I had a Laboga Mr Hector. These two amps are really the opposite in config. The Laboga sounds right away: we put the knobs and five rings. on the other hand, impossible to have a different sound than the base: it is or anything. The Diablo 100 is exactly the opposite: you move a knob of graduation and your sound is Different. I would say that for those who do not quibble, it may hardu stepfather. on the other hand, if you seek to have "your" sound, it is gnial amp. All knobs ragissent beautifully. There is nothing that is not functional and frankly, do not spend three days on bte to grasp the quintessence. Everything is logical trs. The tone knobs are such marvels of efficiency.

SOUNDS

I play only metal, I oscillate between the industrial and death. I can say that in this registry, I am satisfied. I use the channel "Warm" only sounds clean (not often, o)) or the use of effects (we get a neutral sound very easy with this channel, which is convenient particulirement for use with a distortion and effects). Obviously I use the channel more Hot and I'm really pleased. I understand that opinions are so mixed previous ones, because I think this amp is built for metal and nothing else. I did not have fun trying other styles but I nanmoins essay combinations proposed in the manual and, indeed, it is not convincing. Sounds "crunch" in particular seem trs means (not a JCM800 Obviously ...). For cons, the register HiGain nothing wrong, he did not envy the Laboga I prcdemment. The sound is clean, does not bleed even with the gain donf, and DIFFERENT switches offer, with the same sound, multiple variations. I often switch between classic and higain in the same piece, to go on a "compressed" to bring out the harmonics and, of course, enable the "Attack" to boost a solo. In short, be more difficult to complete.

Although sr is a grain amp Love it or like it. But it still manages to even be diversified default be really versatile. Most amps Higain is a sound that's all. That's what I like about this Genz-Benz, has a well sr but with many variations.

Trs important point: it goes well trs rpt and live. No need to push a lot for it is heard. It's a shame because it has an impressive reserve of power. Dj I try to switch to 50W but I think the sound is worse.

Other printing, switch "Vintage" seems to act on all channels, added its heat to the higain.

Well, not need a noise gate, the background noise is unobtrusive trs (guarantee of quality components!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I am fully satisfied. Hsit I long to replace my Laboga Mr Hector dj that I found excellent (I kept a few months, telling me that the Genz-Benz would perhaps be weary) and I still prfr the Genz Benz. That it is better, but it offers more possibilities.

I had tried many and amp before buying it. Apart from Mr Hector JVM410H Marshall, Engl Powerball, NOS, 5150 III, XXX, ...

What I like most:
- Knobs effective
- Flexible
- Connection pltorique
- Power
- Reserve of monstrous gain
- Powerful and prcis
- Almost no background noise

What I like least:
- The cable pdalier weak
- Crunches dgueu

As I had a price in Canada dfiant any competition, I will not report qualitprix which in my case is simply indcent ...

Obviously I would do the same choice. I think to find better, you have to go the speed suprieure and I'm not saying I will not change one day (yes, the big default guitarists o)) but for a big Diezel like creature ...
