I got a chance to pick up a quad of those for an okay price. Haven’t tried them before.

Would they be a good fit for Jose Marshall, 2203 and Mesa mark amps? For those non V30’s tones

Oh yeah they definitely would. My Friedman 1x12 has a Creamback and great with my Friedman Pink Taco for those modded Marshall tones.
 
Be patient with break-in. I had a quad in a straight front 4x12, and thought it sounded pretty flat. Over time, it really softened up and I can really hear that Greenback quality. For me, the 65 has more midrange and a more vintage feel, where the 75 is a bit smoother and modern sounding, if that helps.
 
They are amongst my favorite speakers. I've ran them in 1-12 and 2-12 cabinets, they're great because you can run higher wattage head but still get that Greenback sound?
 
I guess I wasn't at the time. I found them too stiff and flat, compared to some real vintage Greenbacks, G12-65's and vintage T75's.
They’re nice speakers, but these three options are tough to beat frankly.

If you don’t need the power handling, 25W Greenback M’s are probably your best bet.
