Spector fans!?!

I'm loving the Euro 4 LX but struggling to get the best out of it with the band. We're playing alt rock, inspired by Teenage Fanclub so fairly chilled out. I'm running straight in to an Ashdown ABM 600 but having to cut the high mids and treble and play with quite a light touch to tone stop it sounding too aggressive. 

Any tips for getting a bit of character back in my tone while sounding good with relatively clean guitars?

It more than likely has a tonepump preamp inside, turn the level down to just under half way.

It does indeed have a tone pump. I'll give that a try.

I vaugely now remember taking mine down to 1/4 to get a much cleaner tone.  Eventually swapped it to a LHZ pre though for the HAZ tone.

@SteveXFR as said above dialing back on the output might help.

Also try to play with the treble a bit. While technically the tonepump isn't a boost only setup, it doesn't have a center detent so the best bet is to dial back to "zero" , counterclockwise and start from there to see (hear) what you like.  

Eventually Spectors have their own sound and that either fits to the music you play or not.
