Randall · amplifier
The Randall RD20-112 Diavlo is a 20-watt 1x12 valve combo, the small-format member of the Diavlo line. At 20 watts it reaches its power section at volumes usable in a room, which the 100-watt Diavlo head cannot, making it the practical choice for recording and small venues. It shares the all-valve construction that distinguishes the Diavlo series from Randall's solid-state history. It suits metal and hard rock players who need valve gain at manageable volume.
