Awesome. I've had a DC3 combo since they were made new in the mid 90's. It is a great little amp. Amazing clean sounds and a brutal distortion that also does crunchy stuff really well. It is pretty close to the perfect club amp. The switchable EQ is also really a cool feature.
If you open it up, you fill find these things are built like tanks. Steel chassis, chassis mounted tube sockets, chassis mounted pots, thick PCB boards, and big ass transformers. Amazingly well made little amps.
Mine really improved with removal of the mesa 12ax7's and swapping in some tung sol reissue preamp tubes. It really improved the cleans.
