Sold : Diamond Spitfire II 100w head NOW £650

matt1973

Due to an urgent need to downsize my rig to a small combo and/or low wattage head & cab, this is up for grabs.

The head is from USA builder Diamond and this is their take on the 80s Marshall hot-rod tone. It is coupled with an excellent clean channel that could easily hold it's own with many dedicated clean amps. There is a low focus switch to the reverse which greatly increases tonal possibilities and the split lead channel will certainly reduce the need for investment in dirt pedals. 

These heads are built to rub shoulders with the likes of Bogner, Suhr, Soldano, etc and the UK new price was £2.8k

The cab is a Cornford 212. If you don't know, this chunky British staple is made from pine with ply baffle that delivers a 4x12-esque tone. Loaded with V30s and wired for 8 ohms, the cab has undergone a recent makeover so that the looks fit the Diamond head.

All-in-all this is a huge sounding setup that covers nearly every conceivable live requirement.

There's every possibility that the new rig will need to be bought new so feel free to trade me whatever you want guitars, amps, acoustics, speaker, tvs, dishwashers, cuddly toys. Lol.

Diamond - £650

Cornford - £250 SOLD

Might be better in the Amps section?  just sayin'

Arse! There we go...

I remember Doug at Coda recently telling me how well made these amps were, and that they are vastly underrated...

Another bump for an amp make as good as they come  - this particular model is

the benchmark clean tone in most of Dave Phillips's LASD Demo Vids.

Massively underrated, build quality on a par with anything out there &

Designed by Martin Golub (CAA).

Best of luck with the sale - a real steal for someone !

Nice amp

Any interest in a trade on just the amp for a nice Mesa Stiletto Deuce Mk 1 head?

KickTheHabit

I might like just the cab....?

matt1973

Thanks for the supportive comments chaps it is first rate equipment.

@david5150 a Stiletto would still be too heavy for what I need. But thanks for the offer 

@kickthehabit I'd like to give it a week or two to see if it shifts as a rig. Maybe speak about it then?

Cool no rush for me ... Got too many cabs already but like this one .... !

No worries mate-good luck with the sale

matt1973

A genuine boutique earth-mover at a mass production amp price? That's got to be a good deal for someone...

Price dropped and now happy to separate the rig. @kickthehabit you have a pm

Cornford now sold pending the usual.

matt1973

Cornford gone. Diamond still available.

New amp is now in place so hit me with a trade that ideally isn't an amp. This is one hell of a piece of gear for the price I'm asking. EBay may be beckoning for this but I'd much prefer to do some business on here.

If you're a cash buyer, I'll include free UK shipping.

Ok had withdrawn it but, as good as it is, it's just gathering dust so back again with a price drop to boot
