Yesterday I got my Eden WT330 on the mail. I hooked it up to my GK cab and was honestly unwhelmed by the performance of both cab and amp. Today I turn it on and it's like a whole different product. It sounds FANTASTIC!! Nice lows and plays well loud. So what could have happened to cause such a big change? The only thing I can think of is the cab had been sitting around for about month and needed to be "broken in".
Thoughts?
Craig

Edit: Seriously is sounds WAY better, so much in fact I'm a little frightened.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Glad you enjoy the way it sounds though. Always a good thing.

Has this happened to anyone else? | no, turning knobs never changed the sound for me at all. 
of course that's what happened! onboard compressors suck, and so does too much treble imho. so i'm not surprised it sounds better.

Oops...skipped right over Jim's post.

It will sound incredibly anemic, but it'll work. Perhaps you didn't plug in all the way?

OR
You changed the enhance knob. Most likely turned it off.
