I tried the combo out the other day, and was kind of disappointed, to be honest. I think it had more to do with the fact that it was pointed at my knees though.

I only used the Clean channel (this only had two, Clean and OD1, I think), but was impressed by how much gain I could get out of just that, and how useable it was.

It wasn't really that the amp disappointed me, it was more that I was getting great sounds from it, then I'd change soething, and it would sound shit. i need a good sut down with it.

it definitely has a unique "tone." the swimming pool style route makes it like a semi-semi-hollow. it actually has a decent amount of unamplified output.
Mines not so semi hollow anymore. What with the fuzz and the battery nad extra swich and pots. and my stash.
hahaha, hey, what pickups do you have in there?

I thinking of getting a a duosonic (new or old one, what i can get my hands on), the problem is i need a guitar with a tremolo. Would it be hard to put a mustang bridge/tremolo on a duosonic? i won't have money for a mustang for a long time...

I thought the bodys were the same, but i don't shit about this kind of thing. I did saw an old duosonic with mustang bridge, but i think it was a vintage one (it used to belong to thurston moore)

edit.
