Mine was a TNT130 from something like 1986. It was basically just what you described except the EQ wasn't as evolved, as I recall. I added an Acoustic TC-210P cabinet and it made huge improvements.

BUT I couldn't use the Acoustic as a simple extension, because of low power issues. So I ran a line from the effects send to the powered input of the Acoustic. And the acoustic had an extension plug on its panel, too. So I plugged the Acoustic into the wall, plugged the Peavey's power plug into the bag of the Acoustic, powered both up, plugged my bass into the Peavey, and then plugged a line from the peaveys 'effect out' jack to the Acoustic's 'power amp in' jack.

It was an ugly rig. Sure, but darned effective. Good tone, good reliability, and seriuos power. 150 Watts from the Peavey, 400Watts from the Acoustic.

So the short version is : Yes. An extension cabinet makes a big difference, especially if it has its own power amp.
