Description Product Description Built with the same quality construction and components as our other USA Custom Amplifiers, the Heretic provides a thunderous, full gain tone that's open, precise and hits you in the chest like a sledgehammer. With a similar gain style to the very tight but powerful Spitfire 2, the Heretic picks up where the Spitfire 2 leaves off. It features a clean channel and two distinct high gain settings in Channel 2.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 rear panel of the Heretic also features Diamond's new, dialable "deep" function to vary low-end resonance. The Heretic 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. The Heretic 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. Even the knobs are metal for look and feel. LED's are mounted in the box to give this head its distinctive red glow. All its channels are foot-switchable
