Surprisingly I love the BV30H the most. Sound bigger overall on the chugga rhythms, and clearer on the leads. Even more surprising is I bought/ still own 4 of them 16 years ago. Time to find a quad box and play some metal.

Was a celestion G12 30 watt small magnet Rola speaker in when I got the amp. I tried to find at local music stores an celestion G12H 30. But was 16 ohm. I'm very happy this MOJO speaker. It's warm and smooth sustain reacts well to amps tone controls. Highly recommend

Glad I found your channel, I build and sell cabinets and I’m always playing with different speaker combos, but I generally mix a V30 and a Creamback H (since they have similar Db sensitivity and power handling) and I love the blend of those two, and the greyhound is the next speaker I’m really looking at to get that perfect blend. I sell my customers unloaded cabinets so speaker choice is always a fun topic for us! I like the demo/comparison, and the greyhound had that pleasing top end roll off that I look for with enough chunk and body down low, and High-Gain is of course my favorite application.

Tom, great riff for hearing the qualities of each.. the Greyhoud was clear and articulate and well rounded overall.. quite a surprise.. i did not prefer the V30 or the BV30V.. i loved the BV30H.. and i was surprised how they all sound mix vs ISO.. good comparison.. i know one of my favs in Wolf Hoffman uses H30 exclusively as he mainly Chugs and plays Sus4 chords and I see why.. i do think the greyhound and BV30H would be killer together..awesome

I have all of those speakers in various cabs. My fave is the BV30H using a Mahaffay HiLo watt Plexi. Sounds like the perfect mix of V30 and Greenback. In your demo I thought the BV 30V sounded dead nuts Celestion V30. In my own experience I thought the Greyhound got flabby with a lot of overdrive.

The Greyhound and the BV30V sounded great. The BV30H was a little too harsh on both the low end and especially the high end; sounded like it had a lot of breakup coming from the speaker itself in those frequencies, though oddly the midrange remained clear. Might work well for a blend with either a Vintage 30 or a Greenback, maybe something like Mojotone's own Watchtower speakers. Also would probably work great for edge of breakup tones, and leads.

Thanks for this! It's very relevant for me... use the MT15 for a lot of my tones, very similar voicing to the Archon, and my favorite cab with it is a PRS SE 2x12, from the original run of "SE" branded amps. The speakers in it have a unique top end grind that I haven't been able to find in any other speaker, but I think the Greyhound might just do it. Just ordered one, should be good!

This is great! I'm looking for options for my Egnater Armageddon (great amp btw and I think its a bit darker sounding like your Archon) and Heritage 2x12. I have a Celestion G12T-75 and an Eminence Legend v12. The latter is very balanced and tight in the lows, but the G12T-75 I'm not liking a lot with my amp. I think this amp works best with Vintage 30-type speakers. Out of these I liked the Greyhound and BV 30V the most. Would you think either of those would be a good pair with either the Eminence Legend v12 or the G12-75T? What do you think about other options like the Warehouse Veteran 30 or Eminence Governor? Thanks!

Torn between the Greyhound and the BV30H. My least favorite one was definitely the BV30V as the mid-range sounds lifeless and scooped, and I strongly prefer very mid-heavy tones myself. I've got a cheap old shitty Marshall cab kicking around that I've only been using for the sake of having more volume at rehearsals, might aswell get myself a couple 8 Ohm Greyhounds or 30H's and load it up with those.

V30 is a new Chinese made one that came with the cab. Cab came from mojotone with a V30 and a mojo BV30-H. All speakers are 8ohms but the cabinet is wired to 16ohms. All the speakers in this video came from mojotone directly so they have only been used in this twin canyon 2x12!
