Tone change at high volume

[voode]

Hi guys

I've been playing my epi les paul (with dimebucker slapped on) straight thru a Marshall avt50. The problem is that I noticed that at lower volume, I got a tighter and more bass response compared to when I cranked up the volume pass 12 o clock, where the bass kinda disappeared, with more pronounced mids and presence . Can anybody tell me why this happened? Cheers.

Thats odd because the ear at lower volumes notices mids more and at higher volumes highs and lows.

Re: Tone change at high volume

this happens when your speaker cant keep up with the amp in my experience.

Re: Tone change at high volume

Are you using the AVT cabs also? I find they are pretty weak on the bottom anyways. I wouldnt be surprised though as it takes more current to produce lows if the amp did start dropping lows past a certain point. Could be wrong on that but thats my suspiscion.

my avt is a combo. it sounds nice when the volume is set below 12 o clock. ANy louder it tends to lose some of its bottom end.
