Yes, they do :) I've played around with them a few times and the amps just haven't stopped interesting me. With a purely passive EQ section too they bring out the best my guitars have to offer. Although honestly my favorite setup thus far has been an Esquire bypassing the tone control, into...

Does anyone know where I can get wiring instructions for a Fender Esquire. I like the three way switching with only on pickup. and I want to be able to bypass the tone control entirely. I would just get a 50s Classic but the fret edges were ragged, the pickup was weak, and it was more expersive...
