Just got done playing LOUD in the man cave with my DSL50 (and OCD) and LOVED every minute of it. I only play electric once or twice a week these days (playing my own "flamenco-jazz" originals these days on a pair of Breedlove nylon strings). But when I do, I find that I really don't miss my XTC Classic much because the DSL really hits the sweet spot for me. LOVE it!
