The answer is Yes, to all!!!
This Hot Rod not only has a dramatically changed
look, the sound has also been greatly 'warmed up',
by mounting the speaker in a hardwood cab that is not swathed
in vinyl.
Also, tonal modifications were made to enhance the sound. Now the
amp has 'sparkle' to the tone with no 'flubbiness' in the low end
even at low volumes!
Mounting the chassis on a 45 degree angle also permits better
cooling, reducing the amount of heat that rises up into the
chassis causing an amp's 'personality' to change as you play.
