Why does my mini sound like mini farts through 12" speakers?

My mini sounds so good through my Deville 410 and DI into the computer. It has plenty of gain, heavy fuzz tones, everything it should have. But every time I use it through a little marshall 112 I have, even when I turn the gain all the way up, it sounds barely over-driven. Do any of you know what's going on :idk:

Do you have problems with any of your other od/fuzzes through that amp?

This. It's probably the amp more than the Mini or the speakers.

Nope. Everything else sounds fine. I have to tweak the tones a bit, of course, but the gain and such sounds like it should on all the other pedals. It's the weirdest thing. It did the same thing through a Tiny Terror set to clean, both through the same 12" speaker, and also when I rigged it to play through the 410 cab of my Deville.

I would guess that it's a case of the pedal and the preamp on the Marshall not liking each other.

Never seen it happen but that's the two things that would make it so.

I don't have any trouble when I run it through my laney cub 12r. Though, I've experienced some Weird stuff with my mini. It doesn't seem to like extreme frequencies at high volumes running into it. It's a weird and beautiful pedal.

The Mini sounded fucking balls-out awesome through my Marshall JTM30, which is a 1x12. :idk:

this is odd. i never had any weirdness and i've tried it on at least a dozen different amps (tube and solid state) with lots of different cabs. :?:

Is there a bright switch on this amp?
If it's the case turn it off.

Hmm. I'll fuck with it (get it?) when I can play it next and record some samples.
