The Tiny Terror

 

"All valve, 15 watt portable guitar head. Featuring a unique two stage pre-amp which has a massive tonal range using just three controls. When driven, this little amp has almost as much gain as most four stage lead channels!  The Tiny Terror puts a lot of high-priced, high-watt amps to shame with its clean crunch to full on overdrive sounds. At mid gain settings this valve head has masses of vintage British character; the Tiny Terror has been built to the same rugged specification as the bigger Orange amps and its portability makes it perfect for gigging around town or rehearsing. The Tiny Terror switches from 15 to 7 watts for studio use and recording.

This professional little amplifier is a record producer’s dream and comes complete with a padded travel gig bag."   More Information

Hellhound is Proud to Represent DIVIDED by 13

  

July 27, 2011 ~ Incoming:  The AMW 39
  
"Brand new from Divided by 13 is the AMW39. This 39 watt powerhouse captures the best of classic British tone with a four 12AX7 preamp driving a pair of EL34 output valves.  This coupled with a tube rectifier provides a natural, midrange rich tone that brings back the late 70’s and 80’s style rock and roll tone as well as that stunning clean sparkle tone these amps are known for.  The Divided by 13 AMW 39 features controls for volume, master, treble, middle, and bass allowing the guitarist total tonal control from rich and sustaining to semi-scooped and full.  Those heavy modulation and delay users will delight in the Divided by 13 AMW 39 due to the effects loop, something a lot of boutique amp builders overlook. The Divided by 13 AMW 39 is a powerful tone machine that will hearken to the best of the gold and black British amp days."
  
Divided by 13 AMW 39 Features:

  • 39 Watts

  • 2 x EL34 Output Valves

  • 4 x 12AX7 Preamp Valves

  • 1 x Tube Rectifier

  

Divided by 13 amplifiers are HOT!  We'll have demos at the studio for your rehearsal enjoyment and we can special order anything from their product line.


New Gear from DIAMOND Amplification!

 

July 20, 2011 ~ Attention:  high-end, boutique amplifiers in the pipeline (all the way from Houston) ~ ETA; mid August.  Wait until you strap on these babies.  These amplifiers are not easy to come by in New Jersey, strike that; impossible to come by in New Jersey.  But we got 'em.


NITROX 100w Head

"The Nitrox, DA’s most ferocious head to date, features the same quality construction our other products with outrageous amounts of gain. The Nitrox adds more lows than DA’s other high gain amps, but remains insanely tight, which makes it perfect for uber-heavy rhythms and precision playing. The Nitrox also focuses heavily on thick, but smooth, upper-mids to ensure it cuts through the mix with razor sharp precision
  
Channel 1 remains DA’s heralded clean channel with the same control set: Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence. Channel 2 has the same controls but 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.
  
The Nitrox also features a real, correctly-designed effects loop. You don't need a foot switch; you don't have to push a button. Just plug a cable into the effects send and the loop activates. The loop is tube buffered and will not affect your tone.
  
The front panel features a master volume, which reads E. Return (effects return). When the loop is on, the E. Return knob acts as the amp's overall master - turn this knob up or down to increase or decrease the amps overall volume. When the loop is off, each channel's volume control acts as that channel's master volume.
  
Like all current and future Diamond Amplification products, the Nitrox features the highest quality components and construction. Every component was selected and tested for this head. The Nitrox features 6 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 Svetlana EL34's for its power stage. Each part was personally spec'd and tested by us to ensure maximum performance and reliability, from the transformers to the switches and knobs.
  
The head features a perforated metal grille made in 16-guage steel and an accompanying identical grille on the back. The knobs are metal for look and feel. LED's are mounted in the box to give this head its distinctive red glow. Even the etched zinc logo is top rate. Corner irons are included on every corner to add to the strength and stability of the box.
  
All its channels are foot-switchable from the Nitrox's footswitch (connected with a stereo cable)."  More Information


PHANTOM 100w Head

"The Phantom, built to the same quality construction as all our products, has a more traditional high gain structure. Take that favorite head of yours you’ve had for the last two decades, inject steroids and decongestants and you’ve got the Phantom, one of the deadliest fighter jets in the last 30 years. It features a clean channel and two distinct high gain settings in Channel 2.
 
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.
 
The Phantom features DA's signature "low focus" switch on the rear panel. The low focus switch provides 3 positions - low, mid, high. Moving from low to high focuses the low end relative to the mids and highs as well as creates an evenness across all the strings to the high E is not overrung by the low E.
 
The Phantom also features a real, correctly-designed effects loop. You don't need a foot switch; you don't have to push a button. Just plug a cable into the effects send and the loop activates. The loop is tube buffered and will not affect your tone.
 
The front panel features a master volume, which reads E. Return (effects return). When the loop is on, the E. Return knob acts as the amp's overall master - turn this knob up or down to increase or decrease the amps overall volume. When the loop is off, each channel's volume control acts as that channel's master volume.
  
Like all current and future Diamond Amplification products, the Phantom features the highest quality components and construction. Every component was selected and tested for this head. The Phantom uses 6 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 Svetlana “Winged C” EL34's for its power stage. Each part was personally spec'd and tested by us to ensure maximum performance and reliability, from the transformers to the switches and knobs.
 
The head features a hexagon pattern perforated metal grille made in 16-guage steel with a unique silver vein finish, and an accompanying black grille on the back of the exact shape and dimension, finished in black powder coating. Even the knobs are metal for look and feel. LED's are mounted in the box to give this head its distinctive green glow. Even the logo is stainless steel. Corner irons are included on every corner to add to the strength and stability of the box.
 
All its channels are foot-switchable from the Phantom's footswitch (connected with a stereo cable)."   More Information


ASSASSIN 18w Head

"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.
  
Covered in black, the Assassin is a quality, hand-built amplifier producing nothing short of ferocious gain and it is lightweight enough to save your back while still having the power to be gigable even in combination with 2 4x12’s. Like the Del Fuego, each Assassin is hand wired on a hand-built fiberglass eyelet board using components selected for reliability and superior sonic character.
  
The Assassin features a full set of tone controls (Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence) along with a Gain Mode switch allowing for traditional or diode-clipping gain style. The Assassin uses three 12AX7, two EL84 power tubes, and a solid state rectifier.
  
This amp is hand wired, Class A at it’s finest. You simply won't believe it when you hear it. "  More Information


Hellhound is a Dealer!  (not to be confused with a "pusher")

THUNDERVERB 200w Head

"Twin channel Class A/B amplifier. All valve, 200 watt RMS, channel switching head with foot switchable attenuator, valve FX loop and valve-driven reverb. This amplifier sports two clean/crunch lead channels, each with three stages of gain. Channel A has the same three band EQ as the lead channel used on the Rockerverb series. Channel B has a new shape control that scoops the mids and increases the bass and treble when turned up. Use this scoop knob to dial in everything from vintage rock to modern blues, hard rock to metal.
 
Nothing can match the bone crushing, bottom-end punch of this big stage tone machine. Even when used quietly you know you are commanding serious power. A full three-inch ‘Dual Snake 8′ transformer ensures that the bottom end is kept fast and tight and the upper mids and top end are kept sweet and musical at any volume. The Extended Tonal Range enables this revolutionary amplifier also to be used as a bass head.
 
This head also has a foot switchable attenuator. Dial in your rhythm tone at a lower volume, then active the attenuator to boost the volume for really loud breaks, all without affecting your tone!
 
Make no mistake, the Thunderverb 200 is the new standard for versatility in a guitar amplifier."   More information...

ROCKERVERB 50/100 MKII Head

"All Valve, channel-switching amplifier with ultra-transparent effects loop and valve-driven reverb. This amplifier utilizes a two stage clean channel with a four stage dirty channel.
 
The Clean Channel delivers a super rich clean tone with beautiful harmonic overtones. It is a non-master channel, much like vintage Orange amps, and when cranked the power section breaks up faster, delivering the most classic British crunch imaginable.
 
The Dirty Channel is four stages of unadulterated filth, but it is NOT a one-trick pony. Move the Gain knob from 0 to 10, and as you do you’ll find a variety of Orange tones, from metal to fusion, rock to blues…there’s even some country in there.
 
All 50 watt Rockerverb Mark II amps offer switchable output valves. This means you can swap the factory fitted EL34 output valves to 6L6s, KT88s, or 6550s. Just make sure you take your amp to a tech for rebiasing!"   More information...


  

AD30TC Combo

"The combo version of the AD30TC is identical in specification to the head but has (2) Celestion Vintage 30s in an open-back acoustically designed enclosure, made from 13 ply high density 18mm birch plywood to further enhance the sound.
  
All valve, 30 watt, channel switching combo. This amplifier sports two dual stage channels with completely separate signal paths. The result is two vintage amps in one. Channel One has a thick, creamy, classic voice that barks like a rottweiler when pushed in to the tone zone. Channel Two has a tighter, springy and slightly faster character with a little more upper mids and a bit more gain. The AD30TC combo has consistently stood above the competition, as confirmed by professional users and reviewers alike. It retains the original vintage sound and utilizes a smooth electron emissions GZ34 valve rectifier, similar to the first original valve amplifiers ever made, and operates in Class A. This makes the AD30TC a true force to be reckoned with when played alongside any ‘vintage’ classic and high price tag, boutique amplifier. This amp has proved to be so popular worldwide that its specification remains unchanged. It is fast becoming the new world standard for 30 watt Class A valve amplifiers."   More information...


  

TERROR Bass 1000

"The Terror Bass 1000 watt is a hybrid amplifier with a Class D solid state power section and same the preamp as our all-tube AD200B UK bass amp.
  
The Terror Bass 1000 is louder and has more headroom than the 500 watt Bass Terror. With the same great looks as the other Terror series guitar amps, and a rugged construction that will stand up to the road, bass players can now become a part of the famed “Tiny Terror club.”
  

  
Note: The Bass Terror does not require rebiasing when replacing tubes."   More information...


  

Finally, enough ORANGE to go around!
