you could try clipping one of the snubbers (try the one closer to V1) for more grit. Also raising the cap on the presence control was said to make the amp more Carlton-esque, on amp garage. Raising that cap effects the frequency the presence effects, a lower cap will affect the higher treble frequencys giving a more hifi sound while raising the cap will bring it into slightly lower treble frequencies that is said to give that carlton, brightness and grit
Arguably the best speaker for D style amps is FANE AXA 12 alnico. 100W, 101db. Sweet highs, awesome lows and mids. But you have to give them at least 40 watt to open.
This is the Bludo that Matt was using on his last tour. Very different settings to his TR. Each amp will sound different, you just need to find your own settings
Hey Hywell, that looks like Larry’s amp (bluesmaster with flexiplex OD) which I’ve played when he was in London. It had an enormous bass response and pretty mild overdrive. I’m not surprised Matt has turned bass down and OD up.
What is a flexiplex OD
Think of old Marshal plexi without diode clipping on drive – less gain and more open, milder tone. Actually think of Hendrix amp with KT66s but milder.

How was it to play ??
It was a very pleasant amp to play. Stiffer then my OTS but bigger clean ch with more headroom. I did not like drive though, to mild and more Marshally.

A Bluesmaster HRM will clean up the best from your guitars volume, is a good match for the 335 and you can tweak the OD circuit for taste with the internal trimmers.
I like using my guitar volume on a boosted single channel amp aswell and a tweed is ideal for this, but I think when you have two channels with a great clean and great overdrive (plus a boost for both of those) you won't find yourself using it like a tweed.
I wouldn't say there's any preferred D-style just slightly different flavours.
You DON’T have to build a partition! You will loose lows. Also! If you run two amps same time make sure speakers work in phase (with two beam oscilloscope). Test is not about a speaker polarity match.
I guess it will do the same thing indeed. BUT it would probably introduce little bit white noise (Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hum) on clean and much more when you engage a drive channel.
Just switch it ON without playing and listen to both channel’s noise level. I personally never liked an idea to have anything in front of the OTS, especially with 70 k slope resistor on the V1. It is to sensitive.
1x15 ‘’ would be great, especially 150watt Jensen NEO – it has great tone. Here are the dimensions for compact closed back ported (with 2X4’’ bass reflex tubes): H – 47cm, L – 53cm and D – 30cm. Built with 15mm Baltic Birch ply. You’ll love it!
