From my own little experience:
I have tried different modern or vintage style pots, and now for me the best volume pot is the RS "SuperPot".
I have these on all my historic Les Paul (with PAF or P90), works great with the Express to clean up !
Note that the tone pot setting take part to the clean up slope as well...
What makes an amp clean up well when rolling back?

Re: What makes an amp clean up well when rolling back?
The pot issue has been recently discussed with respect to Les Pauls and no particular amp in this thread:

The opinions seem to be mixed. I have the RS Superpot and it doesn't solve the issue for me. I have heard that the Hamer's are the best new option. I haven't used them because they are available in short shaft only and I don't feel like modifying wood in my guitars in order to accomodate them. I am getting ready to open up the Superpots and modify them with a razor knife to get the taper that I prefer.
