I'm not talking muted or dark, just a sweet clear midrange and hi frequency's with sold bass

The lows are solid and not boomy, the midrange just right, and very creamy chimey highs

It also has a nice speaker break up when pushed, which also has improved as it has broken in

For example, The sound from loud amps like Marshals and Fenders are very irritating to my ears, so I based my choice on reviews and information shared by amazon customers as well as on other websites and forums
