Went to the store today and had a chance to try out the 5:50 and WOW what an amazing amp!!! I had previously only played the 5:25 and almost bought it at the time but held back cause I couldn't quite get an SRV tone out of it(a sound I want in my amp) but the 5:50 seemed to be more open and I could dial in some really nice sounds!
Only problem is; the bass was WAY too overpowering! A part of it was maybe the small amp rooms fault but I had to keep the bass dial on 0-1 on both channels the whole time! And I was playing a sss Strat! I didn't play it very loud but everytime I pushed the master a little, even with the bass all the way down it seemed to start overpower the mids and highs pretty soon.
Is this something that's common for the 5:50? Any "fixes"?
