Great sounds. i am really liking the VOTW speaker thanks to your recording. Plus the chinese V30 from 2020 up are all great.

Paused the video because your channel name is absolute gold lol 🤘🤘🤘

thanks for this video. i just bought this same orange cabinet from a friend, i love it, but i was curious about a side by side demo. i dont regret my purchase at all. the tone off these speakers is unique and very brutal.

Thanks for the video mate. So helpful. Gonna subscribe now. Great job. You have helped me make a huge decision. V30s for me

Im not gunna lie, the Jim Root Cab was my first 2x12, and I wanted to like it soooo much, and while I loved it's unique look, size, and configuration, there was just something about those Orange Speakers I couldn't get into. I tried so many Amps, and played it everyday for weeks, but they were just bugging me more, and more. Like I almost have never played a speaker that bugged me so much, and I own a lot. It was also, just for the money that thing costs, and the fact I got it to use in the Studio, and live, I just couldn't bring myself to keep it, and I couldn't just say I'd try other speakers for the money that thing costs, as cool as the Cab itself is. I returned it, and got a Mesa 2x12, and as soon as I played through it, it was a sigh of relief, and it's been a major part of my live, and studio productions ever since. I dunno, like the first couple days I had the JR, I actually didn't mind it at all, but then it started to become apparent no matter what rig I played through it that the Low end was flubby, and muddy, and the high end was a bit out of control. They almost sound like playing through speakers that are out of Phase or something if that makes sense, so I dunno if it's partly the Cab too, but just thinking now(and it's to late for me to try this), but I always wondered how those speakers would sound in another Cab, and how other speakers would sound in the JR Cab. Maybe you'd be down to try it one day? Just a thought. And not hating on anyone who likes this Cab/Speakers, but I just couldn't bring myself to really like it no matter what I tried. Cheers bro!

Um verdadeiro enxame de abelhas.

I love that cab but I did notice I didn’t love it everyday. Some days it was awesome, others days not so much. I’m sure it was all mood related lol. I have the Mesa oversize and I love that cab. 0 complaints. The out of phase comment makes sense. Just thinking about it I can hear why you would say that. I would try your idea if I still had the cab. I want to find this exact speaker and buy though. I have a 412 I had designed specifically for testing speakers against each other. I just need to find one of these! I down sized my cabs from 9 to 2. Due to space.

I am quite surprised by the relatively "scooped" sound of the VOTW speaker in that Jim Root cab given that Orange heads LIVE in that low mid zone. I mean, I guess that's why Jim uses V30s live (right?). I'll also say that a Rockerverb & V30 pair would definitely offset what Mick Thomson is doing with his tweaked Omega head and DV-77 speaker. Two guitarists working as a complementary pair is way better than fighting over the same frequency space.

Love Orange PPC V30 n sound pretty good

Can you test a combination of both speakers V30 and VOTW? Thanks...

I’m pretty sure you could eq your amp to get them pretty similar.

Preferred the V30 isolated, but in the mix the Voice of the World sat better to me. I actually didn't like the VOTW much at all by itself. just goes to show that mix tones often don't sound awesome without their context!

Were the speakers used new? Or are these the tones we should expect from those speakers broken in?

The VOTW doesn’t sound as fizzy as the V30.

VOTW seems like it might be a good speaker for lower tunings (Drop A and Lower)

The V30 has a much cleaner sound than the VOTW. IMHO. Having said that, I think the VOTW is a very good sounding speaker.

sub, save, like etc. Great sounds

Dude, you nee a Telacaster in your quiver. 🙂

There are two completely different vintage 30s on the market. England made and Chinese made. They're totally different speakers.

Confirmed, I absolutely hate the Voice of the World speakers alone, Attack of the Killer Fizz ... in the mix, the VotW would fix a sludgy dirty doomy sound but for general use ... no thank you.

You know what you should do is compare a bunch of speakers other than vintage 30 s then when you find the best one out of those compare the winner to a vintage 30

What it is to burn!

As a fan of filthy stoner metal sounds, I actually prefer the VOTW clips.

I just can’t get past the sound of active pick ups

Where you went wrong is using a Chinese vintage 30 instead of a made im England vintage 30 from mesa, the real speaker. The Chinese vintage 30s lack character.

VOTW almost sounds more like a DV77 to me

The VOTW speakers are best served for doom, sludge, stoner bands and other genres similar to that. And V30's work with almost every genre. VOTW is niche kind of speaker and the V30 is more overall speaker.

The more of these VS vids you do , the more I'm convinced the V30 (proper UK made, not Chinesium) is one of, if not THE best rhythm speaker.

Vintage 30, it's not even close.

Vintage 30 sound thin compared to the Orange. The orange has more power it could blow your head off

We could waste another hour in the studio and show that other english guy how LA Woman from vinyl can sound better on tape with a wack Soundblaster and the T-Rex export feature. Namastè.

I would take the VOTW if only to spite the V30. I can't stand that speaker.
