I raved for years on my duotone to friend who's gigging a lot.
He came over last night to try it out and I couldn't get a decent accoustic sound out of it, I am running it trough a D-tar mama bear, normally it sounds really good with an accoustic amp.
I felt really embarassed - he drove 50 miles to check it out.
Checked it out this afternoon, and after a lot of knob twisting, I suddenly realised the problem was the battery in the preamp. Measured it out and it was low but not dead.
Putted in a new battery and everything was great again.
I feel like a real idiot now.
Now he'll have to come back and he already emptied half of my stock of Chimay.
