Acoustic 370

Is it true about the 10%THD? Sounds cool to me! From youtube videos, sounds like it has that "clunky/woody/midrangey" growl to it when you turn it up, which was really cool. The videos were not too great, but the amp seems to have a vibe that cannot be replicated by anything out there today.

Does it match up with modern cabs as good as the old Acoustic cabs? Anything fairly close to that vintage tone?

Where can I find a manual?
 
I just grabbed one a couple of weeks ago got the 370 head and 301 cab for 250.00. I put the head in the shop to make sure its up to par and I might have to re-cone the Cerwin Vega 18 to handle the power, but I was impressed with the tone and power.
 
For any of you thinking of buying one, I'd have to disagree slightly with some of the above posters; these amps are not that powerful so far as clear, clean, undistorted tone when pushed IME/IMO

Based this on AB'ing with LMI into either Berg HT322 or TL606
The 606 is 4 ohm and the Acoustic would distort at "gig" volume where the LM had miles more clean volume to go
