When I first bought my Jc-77 I played my Parker Nitefly through it and was completely satisfied for a few years. The past year or so and the past couple of months especially I have been increasingly dissapointed with my sound. I play clean and hard. Lately everything sounds sort of thin to me, papery and overly harsh. I 've tried numerous tone settings on my amp, messed with the volume and tone controls on my guitar, played with pickup hieght, tried preamps and outboard eq's. I've tried some of my other guitars through the amp and still this "thinness" comes across. I'm curious as to whether my ears have become so familiar with this amp that they now notice it's weaknesses more than it's strengths. I have previously owned a fender twin and a music man hd 130, not completely happy with either (though I kind of regret selling the Music Man). Where should I start looking for a Big CLean full sound with definition and clarity without britleness or painful bite? I'd prefer Solid State over tube but I'll do what I have to.
I know I need to simply play a ton of amps but reccomendations as to where to start would be most appreciated. Price IS an object. The cheaper the better.
