hey, we had yet another fuzzout in seattle.... dan, dave and myself.... had a blast as usual!! here's the first one.. the colorsound mighty atom amp! pretty awesome.... a bit of crackle. it may be the tone control, pretty scratchy, or the fact that the back is partially off to run it on a wall wart.... got batteries on the way!!!.....

chain: 60 duosonic > mighty atom > MD421 > garageband

Next time we should pair this against my pignose. I think this could be a really cool recording amp ala Brian May type tones.

What's the date on that, Ant?
We were speculating (without being able to see any pot stamps)...
Wild guess - '71-72-ish?

i love the sound of that thing! :crackjam:

& beeeeautiful shade of blue textured tolex, too :love:

Reissue it Ant! (Stu would be a shoe-in!)
