The Diezel D-Moll puts the 3-channel versatility and switching flexibility of the company's dominating Herbert into a more compact 100-watt electric guitar amp head package. The amp's channels are voiced in a way that make the D-Moll a perfect go-to amp for any session or gig. The master Midcut circuit, made popular on the Herbert, is an effortless and programmable way to shape the amp's overall character. Add in an optional Diezel footswitch or MIDI switcher and you're able to program every aspect of your tone for instant recall.

The Diezel legacy





It wasn't long after Diezel released their first tube guitar amplifier head that they started popping up behind some of the most influential guitarists in the world ? not bad when your first design remains your flagship! Guitarists such as Tool's Adam Jones, Journey's Neal Schon, and Metallica's James Hetfield were all early adopters to this new breed of tight precision distortion. Today, Diezel has greatly expanded their line of top-tier amplification. Sweetwater couldn't be more proud to represent the quality and tone that is Diezel Amplification.





Three distinctly voiced preamp channels





Each of the D-Moll's three channels offers its own voice and gain level control. Channel one delivers spanky cleans that remain pristine at high levels. Channel 2 is a rockers dream, delivering everything from crunch to metal. And Channel three brings in a bit of a low-mid focus, fattening up your single-note solos. In the master section, you're able to fine-tune the D-Moll's performance with its Midcut circuit, presence and deep controls, and two switchable master volumes. And best of all, you get all of this tone-shaping power in an amp that is easy to use.





Extreme tonal flexibility





When you turn the D-Moll around to take a look at its back panel, you quickly realize how truly flexible this amp is. Parallel and series effects loops are available to mate perfectly with your rig. The amp offers two jacks for controlling the D-Moll with Diezel's FS7 and Columbus switchers, or you can get the very most from the amp with its MIDI functionality. The D-Moll even makes your sound engineer's life easier with the inclusion of a great-sounding compensated line output.
