Greenbacks in 2x12 and WGS et65’s in 2x12 and vintage 30 and et65 in 2x12. I haven’t jammed it yet in a band setting but alone the treble is off or on 1. This amp definitely needs cranked even with master volume to get anywhere close to an 18 watt overdrive. I wonder if a dr z air brake would help?
Try running just 1 or 2 greenbacks and see how that sounds. Avoid the Vintage 30s and its clones, as those are inherently too bright for these amps.

An attenuator will definitely help. I made docs for an air brake clone, called the "Break Wind." You can make your own with the doc here: files/JMPGuitars_Break_Wind_Attenuator.pdf ...or buy the one I have for sale on Reverb. ;)

Thanks,
