Can anyone characterize the difference between the G12M-65 and G12H-75 Creambacks?
I am a G12H guy as I prefer their immediacy, but, as they say different strokes for different folks.
Which cab/speaker combo will your recomend for a 5150 higain sounds, schecter 7 string guitar, G# drop (metal progressive/djent)?
Can't go wrong with V30's in the Mesa and Engl. FWIW, my favorite V30's (in no particular order, I am (jokingly) OCD so I always list alphabetically) are:
V30-CH-08
V30-CH-OG
V30-EN-08
V30-EN-OG
Whats the difference in sound between Mesa 412 EN 08 and 412 EN 16?
If I have Mesa cab loaded with two V30 16 ohm speakers in parallel (cab is 8 ohm) is than 412 EN 16 equivalent?
16 ohm speakers are brighter. In the case of the V30-EN, the 16 ohm is WAY brighter. It's not about the load presented to the amp that makes them sound this significantly different (that part is more subtle), it's how the speakers are manufactured to accomplish those impedances.
so torn. which cab/speaker combo would be best suited for Marshall type tones from classic rock up through heavier stuff (but not 7 extended range/brootalz type tones. i love them, just don't play them)
was thinking the Bogner with V30's or the Diezel with the Lynchbacks
Can't go wrong with those, I like the V30-CH-OG of the two current V30's for the Bogner a lot, personally.
Hey Kevin, I was curious if the Bogner IR (H-BB-55) would be closest to something like the speaker used for the Brit G12H30 in the Factory Cabinets (F016). I know this is a RW shoot, but I think I saw one in your Mesa Oversized page. I just love the Bogner "woodiness" and curious if this would be comparable for your new V3 series. Thanks!
Off the top of my head I don't know what F016 sounds like, I'll need to get back to you on that, however H-BB-55 is pretty cutting, though not as much as most of the reissues. I have the Pre-Rola 55 Hz G12H (the Hendrix/Page speaker) in the Bogner cab warming up right now to sample today, so that may be more along what you are after than the black back. This one should be online in a few hours.
I have to admit I'm a little overwhelmed at the Mesa choices ... Are any of the V30 IRs going to be the same as ones I've already got or will I have to start again?
Guitarjon's response was dead on the money. There is no overlap here to anything I have ever offered, even the most recent Vector libraries. All different flavors, but I am very, very happy with the way the V3 Mix stuff sounds across the board, and the new Raw mixes really do bring something to the table sonically, it's not an empty gimmick feature to say the least!
