Ian D'Sa's Amplifiers
I use my Stephenson as the main sound, and then we have a Diesel H4, with a Diesel cab, and a Komit Concorde as well
In 0:20 he explains he uses this Diezel amp, although he does not say the model name, obviously its a VH4.
"'And before you came to Stevenson's amps, what did you run through?''Before that I was using a (Peavey) 5150 head, I think it was a '91. And I really liked those tones, too, like they were really clean. I'm a big fan of the bright guitar amps. I was using a 5150 through a Vox cabinet at the time and it was super bright but at the same time with the 5150 every time you turned the gain up it would just get a little too saturated for me. I couldn't find that clean and heavy balance whereas with the Stevenson I found that balance pretty easy,'" says Ian D'Sa, in this interview.

"So for this tour i've gotten these two Silent Sisters, which are great cabs. They're iso cabs, and inside, one V30 speaker, and i've got a 421 (Sennheiser MD 421) and a 57 (Shure SM57) on that."
