However occasionally I'll adjust the treble and bass onboard eq to compliment a specific style of music I'm playing (more bass and less treble for ska, more mids for slap) although within small limits because otherwise it can mean adjusting the gain controls on my mixer.

I sold my Eden WT800 because it didn't suit the Smiths very well but the WT800 and WT400 amps sound very different to me. The WT400 sounds louder and flatter.

So much depends on cabinetry used. Most run the 800 with a 410XLT... I HATE that cabinet. With the 212's I love my tone. The 210XST/112XLT gets it done real nice as well and is my main rock rig.

Tone matters so play the best through the best.
