Hi,
Just bought a TSL60 head and 1960A cab. The 3 channels and switchable reverb and fx are great . Clean channel sounds good. My problem is I want to play with lower gain - AC/DC , older Def Leppard etc and when I have the gain for either OD channel around 3 it sounds like I'm playing through a nasally middy wah pedal, or like I have rolled my guitar tone down. I can get decent tones with the treble & presence cranked high.
So it seems like this amp is dialed for higher gain, and does good Ratt & Crue tones with preamp gain around 4 or 5.
I guess the tone is post gain so the treble control is less effective the lower the gain is.
For those of you who have or have played this model is this what they sound like?
Also it feels like the higher gain channel has less mids and more highs so presently I use that for crunchy rhythms and use the rhythm channel for middy lead tones which sounds decent. Just put new tubes in. Improved the tone but still weird and middy at lower gain.
