Ok, I've now tried with my Epiphone 339 semi acoustic. The semi is acoustically louder than the amp even with the volume turned full up. It's very, very thin sounding and highly distorted (but not in a harmonic 'nice' way). The Tremelo does not work work (i'm aware that the switch changes the depth) but there is nothing.
Perhaps I was far too optimistic that this was going to be a great straight off the bat!!

I suppose the real work starts now.
