Killer sounding Amp Michael ....
FWIW I think that if a player has signature that identifies them it is always created by their playing style which is again based in technique.
Tone comes from equipment but signature is from playing style .
I no longer play in a band but a factor I have observed when trying to get my gear to sit in a live band mix is how the other players equipment can influence the way your own gear can sound for example a Mesa boogie and a Marshall next each other never sounded great in a live mix together to my ears. the bass and drums especially drum can wash your sound out even the volumes that they use can be a factor and it can be different every time some days it sounds great and some times its shite. even the way you physically position your amp in relation to the other players gear can influence your sound in the mix
Have you looked into the power tubes you are using in both your marshalls ? it could be something that simple that is causing the difference between the two amps.
you may have powertubes in one amp that break up later than the other set , the cooler a set of power tubes run the earlier the tubes will breakup that doesent mean the tubes are running cold they can be biased hot they just draw less current compared to another set.
I have amps that I own that ONLY sound good to my ears when they are running powertubes that inherently run cool and break up early and I have another amp that sounds shite with the same set of powertubes.
or..... it could just be the two amps will never sound the same. marshalls are like that.
