Thanks for all the advice, everyone. It's great to hear owner's experiences with GT75's and older 2203's.
AV, I guess I just want to get rid of the tinny sound and want the overall sound to be full. Also right now the sound is really small compared to the Hot Rod Deluxe I a/b'd. Not necessarily looking for the low-end womp, but the bass is virtually non-existent in this guy.
Wilder, yeah everyone tells me I should lose the hotplate. I don't mean to sound like a pig but we have a girl drummer and it is rare that I get to turn it past 3.
jcmjmp: It's possible it's the amp. This week I'll open it up and let you know. They were both craigslists so who knows what's going on inside
