Well I forgot to engage the deep switch with the smaller cabinet. It doesn't need the deep switch with the larger cabinets, but its a good thing its there if you need to play through a smaller cab. I played it last night through the same 1x12 cab, and with the deep switch engaged. It sounded great!
The red channel
modded is great to play through. It really responds to volume knob riding well. Even with the gain cranked up to 7.5 you can clean up fairly well just turning down the guitars volume knob. But with the volume knob, turned up, it can still do heavy. Just a great range in the sweep of the gain knob compared to stock. And that is even with a PAF clone. Even with the gain at 7.5 it doesn't get farty or mushy. Most EL84 powered amps in this class can't say that. At lesser gain settings below 5 you can go from semi-clean to heavy blues with the sweep of the guitar's volume knob.
Here's a youtube of some of the Johnny Eggz mods that I used:
