doody Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I don't know if it's just mine, but my Duotone is fairly dark. Not nearly as bright as my special with stock pups. It does have a reasonable amount of "crunch". FWIW my special has better metal tone than my 87 chap. My duotone willl do the fade to black sound with the tone maxed. The only thing I don't care for on my duotone (and its probably my fav guitar) is the action height. For the I IV V thing it is a great great guitar. For fast changes higher on the neck, not so good. I would also prefer a larger toggle switch for switching between piezo and mag pups. Anyone replaced the tiny switch with a regular switchcraft toggle?
