This is a killer sounding cab! Very ALIVE, woody, thumpy, and tight. For comparison, the EVH 4x12 with EVH/Heritage greenbacks that I have is somewhat dark bland/smothered sounding.

It’s the speakers….not the cab. That’s exactly how I hear the EVH speakers, and I would add the descriptors”polite” and “smeared”. The EVH 4X12 sounded so much better once I loaded greenback reissues. I still don’t understand the hype around them.
 


Sounds good to me. Presence on "5". Can go brite as i want.
Amps have bigger bearing on your sound.

I was thinking of taking out the bottom EVH greenback speakers and doing the Friedman thing having V30s on the bottom.

Option 2: Doing what you did replacing all the EVH speakers with UK made greenbacks.

Option 3: Replace with 2 UK Greenbacks and 2 V30s.

Option 4: Sell the cab! 😆

I did the EVH and Greenback "X" thing before I went all greenbacks. You might try that first. It definitely added some cut/sizzle. The only thing that bothered me was that the EVH were significantly quieter than the greenbacks. So, there was some imbalance unless I was far out in front of cab.
 
Or wait until the new 55hz Blackbacks come out. They have grabbed my interest as long as they aren't as polite as the EVH. I'm afraid they will simply be the EVH with 55hz cones.........which would take them further into the dark/bland direction.
