Anyway to mellow the high end on the Peavey Windsor?

To me, the fact that your first instinct when trying to tame the highs is to crank the bass tells me that the problem likely lies with how you're THINKING about your gear, rather than with the gear itself.

Try a C-Rex speaker.

If you've ever played the windsor studio you may know that thing has like NO low end until you crank the bass. Some combination of small cab+crappy speaker make this thing sound weak. I had to run the bass near full any time I played one.

I heard they did that on purpose. It's the windsor "studio" and so they wanted it to sound tight and direct, and have it mic well when you crank it.

When the OP talked about cranking the bass to get rid of harshness, I think he was just medicating two different problems that he thought were one problem. No, cranking the bass won't remove harshness, but that amp NEEDS a bass increase and less blaring mids and treble.

you know a windsor with new tubes pushing a few rexs would indeed be most interesting
