Super Twin distortion?

[drewl]

Gots me a Super Twin Reverb here, the gnarly 180w version, with footswitchable EQ and distortion.
So, is the distortion supposed to sound crappy?
kinda' like a hideous fuzz with distorted bottom end.

Yup, it's supposed to sound like crap.

Get yourself a $15 Danelectro FAB Distortion pedal, it sounds 1000 times better.

My brother had one of those many years ago, and the distortion did indeed sound like crap.

Thanks, just wanted to know it was working um..."properly"
