(see my signature) I play mine through a Mesa Boogie 50 watt Rect-O-Verb series 2 combo. Tube screamer, Crybaby wah, Boss delay. Switch mostly between Channel 1 Clean and Channel 2 Vintage. Love the Solo boost button on the footswitch. This amp does it all from shimmery cleans to chugga chugga metal.

I have the Dragon II pickups in my CU22, but I am considering swapping them out for a newer set of PRS pickups that can work with the original 3way switch and push-pull pot.

The Dragon I pickups in my CE22 were a bit hotter and more expressive to my ears. It's hard to come across a set of those, though.

Any alternative suggestions?

diezel hagen or herbert with a RWnecked guitar weaponed with 5909s.
organic and true R'n'R.

Own a Herbert! LOVE the Herbert! Although I am not sure what I like better: the Herbert or VH4! The Einstein is pretty awesome as well! Have not played the Hagen yet.

the hagen is anyhow inbetween herbert and VH4.
the herbert sounds a lil more brutal - the hagen has a "rounder" distortion texture.

I own a cu22, mccarty & a 2011 cu24. I love all three. I play through a 1st gen 5150 that I bought new in 1994. The mid range freqs on this amp seem a little harsh to me. I just use the EQ on my g-major to cut 1k about 4db and presto. Its all good.

I have a 5150 head with 2 5150 slant cabs. bought it new in 1994 and have played the heck out of it. the mid range is a little harsh so I use my g-major to drop 1k about 4db thats the ticket.

Anyone have a tone report on a CU22 with rosewood neck? I had a McMcarty I liked a lot and I see a BRW neck CU22 for sale that's really tempting me.
