The guitar still sounded great like a DK2 jackson but my favorite part was screwed up. The gain is of course controled by the gain knob next to the volume and tune, but only is active when you hit the switch so you'll be playing, you hit your switch and you can get a huge boost of gain and depending how loud you are playing it can also add a lot of volume.Īfter playing the guitar for about 2 months after i got it i noticed that the sound was getting fuzzy and not as much distortion when i hit the switch. You just hit a switch to the right of the volume, tune, and gain control knobs on the guitar and it turns on the firestorm electronics. One of my favorite things about the guitar is the built in distiorion boost. The neck is an awsome skinny slick neck that lets you play easy and fast. I play it on a rouge 100w at the time wich doesn't give it the best sound but i've played it on many amps and its sounds very good. I tried it on a peavy 50w and it sounded great. This guitar is the same as the DK2 made by jackson but has a built in disotion boost.the sound is great when you plug it into a nice amp. I bought this guitar on a closeout sale at modern guitar in reno for 420$ and it is an awsome guitar.
