The Mesa Boogie 2x12" Recto is closed back, and I tried the Black Shadow through my friend's 1x12" combo, so not the same cabinet. I also tried an Orange HP cabinet, loaded with Celestion K100's, which I hoped would solve this issue, but this was a bit fizzy too (possibly in a higher frequency range?). Is there anything I can do in relation to the tubes, that could solve this problem?

Myles, a friend linked me to this thread. I am having an issue with my Carvin x100b head, going through a Mesa Boogie Recto 2x12" (loaded with V30s). I get quite a muddy and fizzy distortion, which I know the amp shouldn't sound like. I tried the Carvin through a friend's Mesa F-50 combo speaker (Black Shadow speaker) and it sounded meatier, clear and more focused, what I expect the amp to sound like! Now without going as drastic as replacing the speakers in my cabinet, would you be able to recommend anything that could solve my issue? Many thanks.
