Can anyone tell me why this 1970 K25C-2 has no treble, of very little treble? It looks in mint condition clean inside and out. It gets really loud and the Jenson 12" holds up with no distortion. I have 3 Kustom 1969 K100C-8 4x10 amps with Eminence speakers that have over the top shrilly glassy highs. But not this K25C-2..... It sounds boxxy. The bass doesn't add or take away much bass; just subtle.... The treble will only add a small amount of treble, but almost none. Pulling the bright switch out adds just a subtle amount of treble, but almost like nothing, no piercing glassy highs..,,Playing a Fender Telecaster thru this amp sounds more like a muddy Les Paul.,,..
Any ideas why I'm not getting those piercing glassy highs? Or is this the typical sound for this model amp?
Last week I tried out an early 70's Woodson, supposedly made by Kustom, and it too sounded boxxy with no piercing glassy highs...... So I'm wondering if Kustom changed the piercing glassy highs to more mellow bassy after 1969....?
I tried a different speaker, a 1969 Emenence 10"..... no improved highs.
