Oh yes Per !
I remember the first time I tried to put my guitar into the bass amp of 
my old bass player...
bomb !
I thought "yes, here it is ALL the sound" !!!
I felt that all the guitar amps I have been using until that time were 
cutting highs and lows to make guitar smaller.
It sure is because of the "cut in the mix" politic where each instrument 
has to stay in a certain freq. range.
For the music I play this is something I don't want, I layer guitars 
over guitars and I want to decide what, where and how much.

maybe you feel the same ;-)
my best,
