Nice amp! I own a Roccaforte Jenelle.

- E.

Mine's one of Doug's early amps, and it's a one of a kind from the early days... Custom black and silver tolex with matching 2x12 cab. It's a 60 watt HG, voiced darker with more gain than his standard HG's at the time. None of the controls are labled. Doug use to do this to force his customers to adjust by ear/sound, and not by numbers. It works for me... ;) As you know, his amps are very unforgiving with technique, and will force you to improve your technique or sound like arse. Here is horrible camera phone pic with my first Luke which I exchanged for the Koa.

I have a piezo system on my Luke and it's just 1 9 volt battery. I wish it was 2. It sucks down some battery power pretty quickly. I think I change mine about every 2 weeks. I play at church 2 or 3 times a week. This is probably normal though. Interesting 18 volts! Hmmmm:)

Well then, add the second battery wired in parralel instead of series, 9 volts but twice the life. :D

^Yeah, 18V wont make the batteries last longer, but a second 9v in parallel will.
They shouldn't be going flat in 2 weeks though! Do you leave a cable plugged into the guitar all the time? That will drain them pretty quick, but still, they should last longer than that!
