It must have been broke, or you were plugged in the wrong input???JJ....
OMG!!!
That was my FIRST amp!!!!
It had "permanent distortion/fuzz".....but I loved it...
The foot switch was pretty useless....
played it through a Music Man ported single 15 bottom...
John's craftiness and talent was all over the room!
The day was busy and I ended up winning a leather belt (NO...NOT rigged! as my mother actually "won it")....and bought a few other things.
keep an eeye out for him on facebook and he will have a web site up soon.

Web site soon? Bummer. I saw a strap design in one of the pictures that I would order now. Can they be contacted now about a bass strap?

The footswitch is supposed to control turning on/off the fuzz and/or the distortion, I think. I have the manual, and will figure it out when the switch arrives in a day or three.
I’ll be playing it through an old Carvin 1x18 I snagged years ago for pocket change, or an SWR Big Bertha 2x15, whatever sounds best.






Which strap???Web site soon? Bummer. I saw a strap design in one of the pictures that I would order now. Can they be contacted now about a bass strap?
