heres a sound clip (attached)
its a little hard to convey the real issue - the distortion IS distorted, but accompanied by a significant loss of volume and low end. the congestion factor is hard to distinguish in this sound clip, but some words to describe it are boxiness, fartiness, over-saturation, warbliness, you get the idea.
any idea where i should start troubleshooting it? what parts of the distortion circuit are likely to blame? anyone heard this kind of thing before? like i said, i played a similar era jc-120 the other day and it sounded like it had the same issue, more or less....does this amp just have a crappy distortion circuit??
