A close friend just switched from JBL-E120 to older grey-frame JBL-D120f speakers in a Twin Reverb amp.
The same Reverb setting (approx 4.1-4.2-ish) now sounds like way too much reverb.
Make any sense??? |

Yes.
I can't speak for those two particular guitar speakers, but every set of speakers(and listening environment) has it's own EQ curve. Every reverb has its own curve as well. It makes sense that changing speakers may enhance or reduce the perceived reverb due to a change in speaker EQ.
If you have ever mixed songs and listen to them through a variety of sound systems, you will notice more and less ambience. That is one of the reasons for listening through multiple systems.
Apparently the D120f is stronger in the frequencies of the reverb.

John is correct--the extended upper range of the D120 is adding presence to the upper freqs of the signal. Those upper frequencies can be undesirable in reverb.
There is a solution, and that would be to utilize channel 1 for a reverb nmixer. You would do this by changing the reverb send cable--you would need cable with an RCA and a 1/4" plug. Simply take the reverb send and plug it into channel one. Now Channel 1 is the reverb mixer, which can be EQ'd.

Mike that is something I've not heard of. Do you mean the reverb return from the tank? You plug that into the normal channel via an RCA to 1/4" adapter?
And then you can a Eq your reverb to taste.

Bingo. As long as you don't use both channels, it works
