pos·i·tron - [poz-i-tron]. –noun Physics. an extremely small piece of matter with a positive electrical charge, having the same mass as an electron
Born from the Del Fuego, our amazingly popular 22watt, Class A, 2 channel fire-breather, the Positron takes all the best parts of a Del Fuego and wraps them in a smaller, more portable package that anyone can throw over their shoulder and have their tone to go. The Positron is exactly as the name implies – extremely small and positively charged (to say the least).
Covered in either black or burgundy snakeskin, the Positron is a quality, hand-built amplifier in the time-honored tradition of a famous and sought-after early 1960’s British model. It delivers revered vintage-type distortion without the “domestic havoc” 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 Positron is hand wired on a hand-built fiberglass eyelet board using components selected for reliability and superior sonic character. Simple enough to use for even your drummer, the Positron features one channel, with only a Volume and Tone knob to contend with. The Positron uses three 12AX7, two EL84 power tubes, and one 6CA4 rectifier.
This amp is hand wired, Class A at it’s finest. It is so hand made, that Diamond even literally fabricates the eyelet boards it is built on. As is characteristic of Diamond, only the finest of components are used. True tube, true Class A, true clean/blues/vintage breakup, true Texas. The Positron is redefining vintage yet again.
