While looking through the schematics of some recent Fender solid state amps, I noticed a variation in tone stack design.
For example, here is one with a tone stack similar to the older Fender BF/SF tube amps:

On the other hand, a whole series series of amps (e.g Frontman, Champion, Princeton, etc) use a different tone stack, for example:

Any idea why there is such variation in design? The reason I ask is that I have a Frontman series amp that has too much high end even with the treble control set to "1"; if it will make a difference, I am considering modding the tone stack to a more conventional configuration to make the amp more usable.
Thanks.
