Although I use this amp mainly on Channel 1 on Clean and add pedals, I've noticed that the EQ on Channel 2(Blues and Burn) is not as descernible as Channel 1(Clean and Crunch).
There's not much difference at both bedroom or rehearsal levels when fully sweeping the Bass, Treble, Mid etc, but very noticable on Channel 1.
Is this a Valve fault thing or more to do with a cap or resistor or something. Sounds a bit thin with any Guitar and the EQ doesn't alter it to what I'd like. Never known this on an amp before, my Bogner EQ is fine too.
Anyone else own the same amp model, what's yours sound like?
Thanks.

Mine is also MK1, it'd be good to hear your results.

I trust your recollection of these amps, it's an odd affair though, is it a case of sacrificing something for cost/build etc.
I don't use channel 2 much, which is probably why it's taken me so long to notice and the Telecaster makes it more noticeable, it's not terrible, but slightly annoying.
I can only assume Mesa just want them to sound like that. I never found the DC lead channel useful for lead, only as a deliberately slightly-buried-in-the-mix crunch rhythm. I always turned on the EQ for lead. It can't have been that bad since I gigged with it for about seven years!

I keep meaning to try an eq pedal in the loop, i've recently bought a Throttle box eq (recto in a box basically) and the eq on that is amazingly powerfull.
Thanks @nick79
Sounds like mine, must be the way they make em. Just glad it's not faulty.
Seems it's par for the course with these.
