Whoa, I've created a monster!

Okey dokey. This is probably make my stock drop through the floor but heres my explanation. My band play a metal/punk/classic rock crossover. Our lead guitarist plays a crappy combo amp that has a lot of high end and if we combine similar settings (which we have tried) then you can't tell one guitar apart from another. I've been playing the JMP through basically one big speaker, not even a proper cab and the sound has melded together quite well because theres a lot more bass response on the settings I've been using. So in short, rather than trying to sound the same we have set up so as one compliments the other. Its not perfect but it works for us. The bass does cut through okay but can get lost in the faster parts.

Cranking the mid range is no doubt going to turn me into a feedback farm for one thing. I run a Zoom G2 effects box from guitar to amp so as to get that extra level of crunch and distortion that I'm looking for. It may turn out that this kind of classic setup isn't ideally suited for the amount of roar I am looking for from my rig, but I find it quite surprising the level of difference there is when having run my head through the studios' cab (an MG412 box with greenbacks, a nice deep growl) to what I am getting out of the head and this JCM900 (a tinnier thinner sound, palm muting almost incomprehensible, the dude who sold it to me said they were original G75's [sic]). This may seem a dumb question but surely if I crank the mid range I am going to get an even shriller sound?

I am going to have the back off it and check the wiring and whatnot because I'm not sure whether its a dispersal issue, but the treble I am getting is not going to fit in with what we've got going on in the band. Are you guys telling me there is possibly no way of rectifying this?
