Roy was part of Diamond Amplification several years ago. I'm a minority owner of Diamond, and loved his products. I still have a Carry On and can safely safe it is pure tone in every way.
Years ago I was on a FedEx 777 trip, I was the Captain, and was hanging with the Zemaitis Guitar guys in the Tokyo, Japan Museum. THey took me to all the guitar stores in this one big area. Everything you can imagine was for sale. Next to a Diezel Herbert was a Carry On and my Japanese guy asked him about it. It was used and selling for $4,200 USD. Yeah, $4,200. I asked why. He said it was the best sounding amp he ever heard. Word. I agree, it's a 18 watt killer.
