I am in the market for a 50/50 power amp, the original, not the newer version. If you have one that is in good shape, light scratches ok, and want to sell it, please send pics to price to: [email protected]. Thanks!

Ytse,
I have a Schecter "S" series strat. It's got a Floyd, sperzels, humbucker in the bridge, and singles in middle and neck. I also use an ESP Vintage strat with EMG's all around w/ a Floyd as well.

Volume: 6 1/2
Master: 4

Mid: 5
Reverb: 3
Lead Drive: 6
Lead Master: 3
Lead Bright switch: On
Lead Fat switch: On
Use "V" with the graphic EQ
Output Levels at 7

Bass: 4
Middle: 4 1/2
Reverb: 3
Lead Drive: 5
Lead Master: 4 1/2
Lead Fat switch: On
Lead Bright switch: I keep it off, but you can try it on.
Output Levels: 6
Good luck! Let me...
