The amp also benefits from a warm, low to mid-gain tube in V1 and a proper biasing.
i respectfully disagree with the mids that low and presence it just sounds dull and lifeless like someone as thrown a blanket over it and muffled the tone out.

i suppose speakers and pickups are a key element hear i have used celestion vintage 30's and v60's both excellant for this type of amps modern voicings .also im not talking about anything else here like added eq's just the amp head guitar cab cable and guitar nothing else nothing more .
