Yeah, I exactly experience what you experience but with the ToV.
Oh, for the record I still have the ToV and Maverick. For me these are keepers.
Since I bought the ToV before the Maverick my approach to the Maverick was different. I think from my experience with the ToV, I've decided experiment with speakers before adjusting the Maverick's tone, volumes, mode controls. Like I mentioned before Vintage 30s are versatile speakers but sometimes you want "specific" tones out an amp than versatile tone. 'Cause then you say: "Yeah, something like that but a little more roundness, less midrange, more prescene region etc ..."
So I kind have a good grasp what speakers could do for an amp. Of course its preference too.
So I stock pile plenty of speakers and enclosures to experiment with. Many guitarists like to experiment with different aftermarket, boutique pickups while me, I like to experiement with speakers, and speaker combinations.
I may get flame for this and probably will : I would hear someone play a Bogner, VHT, Soldano, Diezel or what have you hi-gain amp and I would say to myself: "I could have sworn I got my ToV sounding pretty close to the vincinity of that amp's tone."
