Doug’s Pursuit of Perfection
“It feels like I’ve spent my entire life chasing the perfect tone. Over the years, I’ve owned dozens of amps – from modern to boutique, modded to vintage classics. Most of them were tube amps, and each had something special, but I was always searching for more.I’ve been lucky to build great relationships with many amp companies and received several offers to create a signature amp. Yet, I never fully committed. I just wasn’t 100% sure… until now.” – Doug Aldrich
Hot-Rodded Character
Over the past 12 months, we’ve worked closely with Doug to develop the DA100. We’ve made a series of functional and sonic adjustments, resulting in an amp that is nothing short of extraordinary.
Doug’s signature drive tones are legendary, and our R&D team partnered with him to craft a new OD Voice. This feature delivers a vintage, hot-rodded Plexi-style punch with the flick of a switch. Additionally, we fine-tuned the midrange to provide a chest-thumping resonance that makes every power chord hit with authority.
Switchable Effects Loop
The upgraded Effects Loop is now fully footswitchable, controlled by the included 5-way footcontroller. We’ve also added software customization, giving players precise control over effect “tails” when the loop is disengaged. Using our free Architect software, you can adjust tail length and store your settings directly in the amp, enabling seamless transitions during performances.
A Classic Cabinet
As a cornerstone of Doug’s signature setup, we’ve included his preferred cabinets loaded with iconic Celestion Vintage 30’s. This timeless combination guarantees every note is delivered with the rich, dynamic character that players crave.
