I'm not sure they care about my amp purchases enough for that.

But I'm honoured/slightly afraid that you do. :moresarc:

Pretty similar, actually. Bass more around 2pm, though. And tone cut maybe a quarter of the way on.

My AC15 was unusable at gig (or gearfest) volumes without the tone cut. The louder it went, the more denture-rattlingly bright it got.

Seriously??? the HW? I've had mine at full noise and it was the same tone but louder, this was on the top boost channel tho'...

Heritage. Both channels, no MV. Capt Black can vouch. I think his exact words were "that's some seriously piercing high end".

The perceived amount of treble on pretty much ALL amps increases noticeably when you wind them up.

JB, it must be that recent AC15 fanboyism in you that makes you think your amp is the exception ;)

Na, I can vouch for him on that one. He had the Vol at 100% and while it was loud, it didn't get excessively bright compared to it's average volume starting point.
Ummm....
