Diverse amp with dynamics.

When I first got it, I thought the midrange was too much. I decided to use a global eq to tame it. I put an Empress ParaEQ to cut mids to a normal level. I still have plenty of mids. Not scooped sound. Also, I can fine tune lows and highs. Attenuate -12db or -6db if needed. I run at 50 watts. Also, put 12ay7 tubes in V1and V2. Lowered gain a bit. Changed fx loop serial. I use Boss NS-2 at input and fx loop. Greatly improves this amp for me. I use the 3 channels and Boogie EQ for post lead boost. The JP2C inspired me to try a 2nd Eq on this amp.
