OK so this is slightly misleading as a topic. I previously posted about my amp being too bright. Not fizzy just bright. I read around the forum that one of the best ways to get a better sound was to open the amp up a bit: the output control. So overall I keep my output near noon and adjust the channel controls to whatever volume is needed for the situation(apartment, practice space, etc).
So the other day I let my friend play the amp dirt a bit at his house. Thought I'd hang out, drink a few beers and etc. Well he previously owned a Peavey XXX so he cranked the Masters and lowered the Output. Apparently the face I made looked like someone **** themselves and I was forced to watch. He kept trying over and over again until he said, "I can't stand this amp." I showed him how I use the Masters to control the volume to take the fizz and make this a heavy amp for metal. He found this confusing and tough because when that output is cranked that much, it doesn't take much adjustment in the matter to make that thing to shake a room. After I packed up my gear and went home, it made me wonder if this is why so many people sell their amp after a few weeks.
