Thanks Richard for the advise. I think Duane has the Tru Arc on his 6120. Have you been playing the country gent at all lately?

Hi Richard. Just received my tru-arc bridge and put it on the country gent. I think it's really transformed the guitar. It's made it really twangy but also really full sounding. Incidently have you tried the new mxr pedals. I was in a guitar shop today and the guy in the shop showed me this new mxr 78 badass pedal. I have to say Richard if you get the chance to try one they are amazing. The tone and clarity is just stunning. Anyway Richard check them out if you get a chance

When I heard the mxr 78 badass the clarity reminded me of your ross distortion. When I was trying it out I was using a gretsch duo jet with filtertrons. The crunch setting gives a bit more mid range. Distortion heaven

I've just got an Ibanez standard fuzz which is f*****g awesome from the early 70's.....I thought that pedal sounded like the Ross too on that YouTube video,i might get one with that in mind but I'm using a lot of other stuff now

have a try of one. The video does not do it justice. Even better in reality. With your new les paul I think it would be incredible. I tried it with a gretsch duo jet through one of the new fender hot rod deluxe amps. oh my god
