I’ve also been getting into fuzzes a bit more lately and they are definitely finicky beasts. It’s also worth trying the SD-1 into the fuzz. That is a really cool way to run a fuzz.
I only know enough to be dangerous about this stuff lol, but it makes sense from an ohmage stand point that they would run parallel at the jack as well since you’re ending up with 4 ohms.
Ok if it’s wired up the same way they come stock, it would actually be parallel series. With 16 ohm speakers that wiring allows you to get two 8 ohms pairs when running stereo. If it’s series parallel, you would end up with two 32 ohm pairs when running stereo.
Edit: to add to it, Engl wires...
You were the one who got me to try parallel-series lol. That was definitely one of those eye opening gear experiments lol. What you quoted there is how I've found the differences as well. And like you, I've also found I can prefer one way over the other depending on the scenario.
What...
I haven't seen it done with jacks, but I've seen it done with a switch.

I’m curious when Marshall changed their 4x12 wiring from series-parallel (speaker to jack) to parallel-series? Was it in 1990 to accommodate the mono/stereo jack on the JCM900 cabs or was it sometime before that?
I have the white label T-75's and think they're killer, but I also find them a little more finicky with mic positioning than a V30. I find mic movements on a 75 elicit a much greater change than similar mic movements on a V30.
I've heard about the center mic'ing too, but haven't messed with...
I'm guessing C is the real amp. To my ears is sounds a little more wild with a little more swing (less control) in the low end, which you hear mostly in the last part of the playing. A & B sound a little closer to each other and sound more controlled. All sound really good, though, so who knows...
Yeah blending is hit and miss for me as well. I gigged the V30/75 combo for a while. That’s a classic combo that works. It sounded great with some amps I had and not as great with others. What’s interesting is the amps I didn’t love with the blend sounded good with both V30’s and 75’s on their...
Never played a Knucklehead, but I had a Nitro a number of years back and also gigged in a band where the other guitarist had a Nitro. I didn’t love it. Seemed to lack character, but I also played it through v30’s. I believe he voiced it through those small/big block speakers, so maybe that was...
I don’t know anything about that clone or iPhone interfaces unfortunately, but I’d lean towards getting a real SM57. Guys than can use whatever mic they want often still use them, so you can’t go wrong with them.
