i have a DC-3 as well. great amp!! just remember to adjust the eq's as you increase the volume.
i have found that when comparing bedroom volume to gig volume, i need to lower gain a bit, lower the Bass, mids stay pretty constant, and the highs can be raised slightly.
this amp is incredibly true to it's tone at all volumes. the gain is the big thing. you need less at higher volumes or this amp will lose definition.
the bass as well can get loose.
great choice though, i love my DC-3. i sold my F-50 for it and have never looked back.
the DC-3 loves a compressor in front, and i use a chorus in the loop.....sonic heaven!!!
enjoy
