i think the pickup/magnet has a very important role in setting the feel
I think the speaker has a lot to do with the feel also, I can definitely "feel" stiff speakers with low sensitivity.

i dont use any stiff speakers, but you and i also play fairly different styles of music
> There remains some dispute surrounding how much (or whether) a speaker "breaks in" the way most of us assume it does
A little on the side, but one of my goals for this autumn is to replace the speakers in my 4x12. In 2008, I bought Greenbacks made in the Chinese factory, which was then in its early stages. The speakers have always had a muffled quality to them that I have never been able to explain. I want to try and change them for the 20w Heritage versions (I dislike the EVH rebranding of them, but can live with it since it will never be seen). I hope to be able to make an A/B of the two, and hopefully see results not dissimilar to these.
Each to his own, but I don't know of many amps have a narrow Q band targeting 5-6KHz. And even if it's the main thing, it's just one of the differences.All the "differences" are just a quick turn of my amp's EQ knob's away..

That being said... yeah, in a room with a loud half stack blasting, I'm not too concerned to start carving notches with parametric EQ's into my tone. If it sounds inspiring, that's good enough. But I suppose once you start mic'ing stuff up, it's kind of unavoidable thinking "hey, why doesn't my tone sound as good as the records that I love?". But maybe that's just me.
If you ever manage to listen to isolated tracks on your favorite albums, you'll find that they probably don't sound as amazing as you think. It's in the mix.
There's plenty of isolated tracks floating around where they all sound killer, regardless, at least to my ears. I'm no stranger to mixing. I don't mean to come off presumptuous, but I suppose I'm used to what guitars are supposed to sound like for them to function well in a mix.If you ever manage to listen to isolated tracks on your favorite albums, you'll find that they probably don't sound as amazing as you think.

All I can say is I've never confused a V30 (any/all versions) for anything else...
Honestly, on the topic of isolated tracks and whatnot, bit of a hot take, but I find anyone who dials in a tone on its own that he/she thinks it sounds good, and then it doesn't work in the mix, didn't really dial in a good tone at all.
