Both appeared to have been in his Marshall phase. But in the videos I have seen, Koss was played through a Van Weelden combined with Marshalls.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised that they sound different.

Greeny sounds different to any other 'burst I've played, and on all PU positions too.

Did you ever have someone else play through your rig? Same guitar, amp, etc. and it sounds different. Sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic. A player's touch, heart and soul have a dramatic affect on tone. Now, Change amps, guitars, mood, temperature/humidity, venues, etc. and imagine how much things can change. I've played a lot of jobs in my life where the same rig just sounded different. The reason is that your perception of tone on that day along with your mood is not a constant. It's a moving target that you adjust for (as best as possible). I hope this helps.
