Your guitar looks good and has my favorite pickup combination. Good choice on the Duncan as I have a Duncan 78 in a vintage Baretta and must say it rocks.
Sounded really close to me. I will say the Amp 1's really do sound good in person plugged into a 4x12. I have the first Amp 1 version and the Iridium version, and they work well for me in my hard rock quest.

I remember reading Bon's autobiography (Bon The Last Highway) that he did actually do some song writing for BIB. Soon after his death his notebooks with song lyrics came up missing. If you listen with an open mind to the lyrics from BIB it sounds like lyrics Bon would have wrote. Bon even said...
