This is what it sounds like, when cones cry.

V30's, G12H-30 75Hz, or G12H-30 55Hz?

Post by phonginator » Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:23 pm

Okay, I need some help...I'm thinking about getting new speakers and I'm trying to decide between V30's, G12H-30 75Hz, or G12H-30 55Hz. I'll definitely get hellatones if I decide to go with the first or second one, and if I decide to go with the G12-30 55Hz then I'll get Webers, but I'm having a really difficult time choosing...it's so hard to buy speakers when you haven't had the chance to try them out. I'm playing hard-rock with '76 MKII 50watt and I'm looking for more lower mids/tight bottom end. I've actually tried out the V30's in a Marshall 1960A Vintage cab, but that was a brand new speaker cab at a music store and the speakers were probably not broken in...I don't want to form an opinion based on that. Can somebody tell me the differences between all three speakers?

P.S. It might help you to know that I'm trying to compete with my other guitar player's triple recto...his tone isn't that great, but it's MASSIVE compared to mine and it makes my side of the stage sound very weak...I guess I would like to beef up my tone to where it sounds just as huge as his, or at least close to his...

Man I really like the G12H-30 55Hz for guitar, although I believe it was actually marketed as a bass speaker.

Maybe you need a 100-watter...
I knew we should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque!
