i decided to crank my blues junior today with my ibanez. i couldnt get a good tone, and i was suprised! the tone was gritty, and unsmooth. its not usually like that. although surprisingly it got up to very early metallica. but, it was still gritty, trebly and not very good. treble - 3, mids - 12, bass - 6, what could be my problem? also, the ibanez is an AXS32. could it be the speaker? settings? the amp itself? what? ive also tried turning the tone knob down, but that made it overly bassy. thanks in advance!

Maybe you need a 6L6 powered amp, may I suggest the BMRI. I think all EL84s are gonna sound similar but you could take it to a local dealer and swap bottles and see if something rings your bell!
