When playing through power amp and cab (SD Powerstage 170 and Marshall 2x12 with V30s) I have noticed that when playing amps with a cathode follower, there is some strangeness going on in the lower mids which gives the sound a somewhat muffled/covered with blanket character. I have noticed it especially when comparing to my JVM head side-by-side. When playing through studio monitors, this is less pronounced. Also, I don't seem to be getting this sort of sound quality with amps without a cathode follower (they tend to sound much clearer). Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I'm missing?
