Yeah it loves the TELE! It's got that perfect intense fuzz/crunch tone.

Finally had a chance to play my El Diablo tonight at practice and it really rips. I used it with my strat equipped with Fralin Real 54's and it sounded amazing. I had the level about 2-3 o'clock and the attack about 3/4 way up. I played my volume around 6-7 for a clean, albeit with some nice hair, and rolled it up for leads. I cut through like crazy. I found it works great for leads or some chunky rhythm. This is way more versatile than I imagined. I have been having trouble getting my low E, and D fills to cut through but with this on, problem fucking solved. I want to run it side my side with my Sola MK II now and see how they compare.

Hey, it was the limited edition Dave forgets to sign it model, extra mojo, innit.

Can anyone one of ye experts here tell me the main difference in sonics between the El Diablo and the MK1.5 Copperhead? Isn't the El Diablo a MK1.5 (as well as a VOX tonebender) variant too right?
Obviously it has a slightly different transistor set-up, but just wondering.

Anyway, from what I've heard/read the El Diablo seems to be right up my street. More rasp, edge and break-up, but more (rasp) or less then a MK1.5 Copperhead?

thanks,
Allan

Having spent time with this thing i'd say it's my fav D*A*M made pedal. It sounds old, but the gain, mid range, tone, feel and chewyness is ace as fuck! The colour looks shit hot in person too.

Your sound clips with the Diablo are inspired, Philip! I keep replaying them. I like how you mix two different guitars playing different Diablo tones. Great job!

I agree with Philip, this pedal is bad ass. I used it for my last set of shows and it solved a lot of problems for me.

After having owned this pedal for 6 months now, i can't praise it enough and play it pretty much every day. Try and get one if you can!
