Collaborations

An amplifier truly finds its voice when it meets a musician. These are the people who brought RL to stages, studios and tours.

More than endorsement

Tone is built together.

RL collaborations are more than names placed beside a logo.

They are field tests, precise requests, signature equipment and amplifiers pushed hard in front of an audience. Some relationships remain active today; others belong to the history of the brand and deserve to be remembered.

01 · Guitar

Nick Mantoan

A musician from Ivrea, Nick has moved through classical, acoustic and jazz guitar into rockabilly, developing a personal language. His education includes Beppe Gambetta's international workshops and Berklee College of Music courses during Umbria Jazz.

The RL collaboration began in 2012 with the Blue Eye 45. Their work on tone and dynamic response led to the Hot Fusion 100 Nick Mantoan Signature and the new single-channel Trouble Maker NM Signature 60 W, designed to respond to the guitar volume. His rig also includes the Trouble Maker 50 W and RL 4×12 White Skin cabinets, customised with purple UV LED lighting. The relationship with RL remains active.

Paolo Pasinato

A graduate of the Istituto Musicale Pareggiato in Aosta under Lorenzo Micheli, Paolo also studied with Margherita Vallomy and Gianni Nuti. His work spans ensembles, recordings, concerts, festivals and television appearances in Italy and abroad.

The RL collaboration led to a complete signature system including amplifiers, cabinets, tube effects and active guitar electronics. One of its central projects is the Red Hot 50 Evo, a three-channel evolution of the Red Hot 50 developed with Paolo and road-tested on the stages of the Maratona Rock in Santhià. The relationship remains active today.

Diego Geraci

Deeply connected to rockabilly, blues and American music culture, Diego founded the Adels in 1994 and brought his music to major European festivals and clubs. Over the years he has shared stages and projects with many leading international artists.

With RL he used the Hot Glass 30 and RL 212 cabinet, also taking them to the Second Hand Guitars stage for a clinic dedicated to rockabilly guitar.
