New guy needs help with new rig

Hey guys I've got a Crate GT1200h half stack, Epiphone Goth Explorer, Big Muff Pi, Boss MT2, Vox Wah. I'm looking for a classic warm heavy metal/Doom sound (Sabbath/Pentagram) on a budget. The MT2 has been great and gets a real electric distortion, I just got the Big Muff yesterday and it definitely has the sound I'm looking for, but I feel like it needs a little more treble to make the notes stand out a little more. Is this 120 Watt head too much for it? Could an EQ pedal help with this? Or should I start looking for a new head with less juice? Anything...literally anything will help, I'm a n00b so everything is pretty new and interesting. Thanks!

As a solid state amp the wattage shouldn't be an issue, it's going to sound the way it sounds at any but the highest volumes.

I've always struggled with the Big Muff having the one tone knob, you want the treble and grit with it to the right, but the boom and heft of the left. A ten band eq can fix that yes, and experiment with it both before and after the Big Muff.

And if you have the cash for a new amp, looking at a bit lower watt tube heads is never a bad road, just be sure of it before you purchase.

Only to realize those pedals were hooked up to the bass!
