Diamond Amplification Spitfire II – Classic Roots, Unstoppable Power
The Spitfire II takes the legendary tone of the original and turns it into a two-channel force to be reckoned with. Channel 1 delivers the familiar clean and crunch voice that made the Spitfire a favorite, while Channel 2 unleashes bold, vintage-flavored gain with Diamond’s signature dual volume/gain design. Tight lows, punchy mids, and cutting highs give you classic headroom with modern intensity—ready to dominate stages or studios alike.
Shape your low end with the three-way Low Focus switch, and trust the tube-buffered effects loop to keep every note pure and uncompromised. The front-panel Return control doubles as a master volume when the loop is engaged, giving instant control over dynamics and attack without losing tonal clarity.
Wrapped in black and tan tolex, with a perforated steel grille and sturdy metal knobs, the Spitfire II looks as commanding as it sounds. Hand-selected tubes and spec-tested premium components ensure this amp isn’t just reliable—it’s built to roar with authority every time you play.
