Yes. Twins are naturally trebly due to their open back which will exaggerate the problem. The stock KoT is very weak in the bass too and there is a lot of gain involved. Also, I noticed that for example LF353´s sound fizzy.Turnerguitar wrote:Has anybody played this with a Twin Reverb?
A SG amp usually has a 15 inch speaker in a vented cab. Those don´t extend very much into the treble region which will change tone to the benefit.Turnerguitar wrote:On my peavey steel guitar amp, it sounds killer.
I usually roll of the treble almost totally on the KoT, so it sounds very smooth. I also noticed that 1N4148 sound very fizzy, although on paper perfect replacements for the series shunt diode section in the KoT. Experiment with other diodes too. Try the setup I used which does not sound fizzy.
Not from a technical standpoint. The original diodes are very fast (will affect treble response and compliance), 1N400x are about the slowest you can get.madmac wrote:The plain old IN4001's make a good sub for the 1s1588's.
But they may sound good to your ears anyway.
