Sound familiar, or is my amp f'd?
Thanks stitch.

That is kind of bizarre, I can see the amp being not as bright as mesa definately, but the farting out really is weird, I find mine to be a lot less boomy than mesa/5150's etc etc. I'd have a look at the depth setting, and drastically reduce that, as well as really start with the EQ on neutral and then slowly bring the bass in. I mean, it has got a lot of bass to it, but if it's farting out, it's mainly having too much I'd say.
If you shoot me your settings, I can have a play around at home as I think my hotplate has arrived!
Also, this is through a mesa cab yes? v30's? If so, and it really doesn't work well through them I may have to rethink my current desire to get a v30 loaded orange cab!
