I dunno if it's a bug or what, but there is nearly no difference between any of the tone stack amps.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Hello LejonBrames,

I appreciate that the difference could be a bit subtle, but if one had the amps in question lined up to play with, I think the differences would be about the same.

The 'Prince tone' and 'AC-30' are quite different to the 'Twin Verb and Bass-man' which model two amps from the same family.

Same thing with the 'JMC-800' and the '2000 lead' who share the same heritage.

You can customise the tones of each by switching the cabinets and adding contour to the sound as well as dealing in as much bass, middle and high end you want.

Best Regards,

Nick

What does the 'contour' switch do, and what does 'OFF' do?

OFF is still distorting the signal, and my harmonic analyzer shows no harmonic difference between the models, and only the EQ curve changes.

Hello LejonBrames,

CONTOUR - Switches on extra tone-shaping for added control. ( basically it switches in a different response curve that adds different frequencies )

Your harmonic analyzer shows no harmonic difference between the models, but your ears should tell you a different story. As I said there are subtle differences between the models selected that you can further change with the bass, middle, and treble to get the tone that suits your song.

That harmonic analyzer would show something very similar if you had all the amps at your disposition to test out as the heads and cabinets would show different EQ responses.

OFF means the tonestack is not active, like a bypass, but you can still play with the tone controls. If it distorts maybe the incoming level is too high?

Best Regards,

Nick
