The warm channel features clean and vintage overdrive options, and the hot channel has a classic or a high-gain option. The El Diablo 100 preamp section has clean and overdrive channels as well as options for dynamic or compressed tube sounds. Other power section features include a serial effects loop, dual speaker jacks with an impedance selector, and a voltage selector switch to select between 115 and 230 volts. Additional features include six preamp stages using three 12AX7 tubes and a rear panel bias pot.

The El Diablo sports two independent channels and a four-button foot switch, just like the El Diablo 100. The Genz Benz El Diablo 60 is also an all-tube amplifier, meaning that both the pre and power amp sections feature all-tube circuitry. The El Diablo 60 can be switched from 60 watts of power to 30.
