I have a Fender "twin amp". 100 watt combo amp that I really like because it has plenty of headroom on the clear channel. However, it has a definate midrange bon or honk that I can't really get rid of. I a/b'd with my Hot Rod Deville 2/12 and my Mesa Boogie Mark III. I know they are all very different. I changed the bias adjustment and tried different tubes. Though all of those adjustments did change the sound, it still has the mid range issue. Is it just the nature of the beast? The Hot Rod Deville has a definate rounder tone with what seems to be more air movement (which I like). The twin sound is very touchy with the controls and the bass knob doesn't seem to achive too much.
How I rate my amps...
Hot Rod Deville-good round sound covers a nice broad span of frequencies
Mesa Mark III-Great clean tone has a great sound for picking and rhythm too. Bass is a bit flabby.
"Twin amp"-always seems a bit transparent and midrangy.
What are your thoughts?
