The speaker in the Bush is a relatively small 6x4 elliptical speaker so not ideal but even so I don't think it sounds too bad.
Clip 1 is just the guitar straight into the radio, clip 2 is with an overdrive pedal (Ibanez Tube Screamer) set to boost the signal and overdrive the valves.

Awesome! That is what we are looking for!
I can't wait to get this project going!
