I wasn’t sure how to box these up. I considered squeezing them into a 1590BB, 1590Q, 1590XX…
But then I thought I could get the most flexibility by making them a pair of 1590Bs.
I found several reports of this having excessive treble. I should have taken the warnings seriously. There is some major icepick-in-the-ear treble here. If I dial the treble way back on my amp or guitar, it’s more pleasant.
It is fun to have both in series and cranked. No preamp is safe.
I might revisit these with some of the tone tweaks I’ve seen around here.
