hey guys, picked up a Bassman 57 LTD and i find no matter what i do settings wise it just sounds either boxy or very thin! I've tried a few pedals in front it and when you drive with amp with fuzz or tube screamer or any distortion really it sounds thin, very fizzy and useable.
from what i read this amp made for a perfect pedal platform. unfortunately i could try it when i went to pick it up with a pedal but so far my experience is yes the clean sound is ok but everything else is disappointing. the amp hasnt had much use i think 20 hours all up so maybe the speakers arent broken in or something? could it be that theres an issue with the tubes? cause if i push volume past 4 it starts to break up. or is it maybe i just prefer marshall more haha
