I FORGOT!
Sorry guys, a couple of items I forgot to mention in the video intro:
- THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC TEST - This was purely a real world comparison and even though it's not crazily detailed, it provides a real world representation of the difference between each speaker and cab.
- Mic Placement - The Mic was placed the same on every cabinet, meaning that I had half of the capsule on the dust cap, and half on the cone, and the mic was directly on axis with the speaker. This is not the ideal placement for every speaker, but it makes things a little more even.
- Tuning was E Flat Standard
- VHT head placed on it's side was a placement marker for me to line up every cab the same way
- Controls WERE NOT changed on the Badlander throughout the entire video. The differences you are hearing are purely the speaker/cab.

Hey Guys! I forgot to clarify a couple things in the video intro as I was in a hurry to wrap up filming before leaving. Check the description for mic placement details and a couple other minor points. What did you think? Which was your favorite? Let me know below!

I think the Chinese V30's have more top end across the board. I was surprised at the difference between the Mesa V30/cabs sounding so different. The orange cab sounded really, exceptionally good. I really like the low end on the Randall XL.

@kylebull2 Love these shoot outs. Any chance you could play a few open power chords with a little less gain/boost/compresion (but still high gain) so we can hear more of the harmonic content from the gear? The older I get the more I use less gain , more mids, and more complex cord voicings/inversions etc. Does that Engl 2x12 sound as big as a 4x12 in the room?

@FedericoMK 9 ай бұрын

I like them with high dose of high mid punch, so V30 UK 16 Ohm first, followed by Mesa V30 UK 8 ohm in mesa traditional and OS, which strangely enough they don't sound that dark to me as they should (but it might depend on year of manufacture). And that front loaded Carvin is a pure tonal bliss!! I also have a carvin legacy 4x12 slanted with V30 UK 16 Ohm (early 2000's) and it is my go to V30 cab!

Despite expecting it, I'm floored everytime at how different V30 loaded cabs can sound from each other. The variances due to production tolerances and production eras, the difference between 8 and 16 Ohms speakers, differences between front and rear loaded cabs, straight and angled, grille material and a bunch of other things each impart their own little flavour on the tone. You know I prefer 8 over 16 Ohms speakers but to my surprise, I ended up liking the Marshalls and the Orange quite a lot in this video which are loaded with 16s. Great job, mate! Thanks for this!

Crazy right? Just too many factors... Also each speaker is supposed to be put into a cab with certain specs of size and material according to the brand (which never seems to be the case with guitar speakers btw), and there's also a myth, that I'm starting to believe in, which is that in a 4x12 the brand will put one good sounding speaker, one average and 2 meh sounding ones, so you have to search for the good one when recording!

I can only imagine the amount of time and work that went into making this video. Great job Kyle! It was very interesting to hear the differences. So many factors like air chamber volume, type of wood, wood thickness, speaker cone mass, coil resistance etc. There is an entire study of speakers and engineering called Thiel and Small Parameters that measure all these various factors when it comes to speaker design. Some companies design a speaker for a given cab which is rare these days I think, and then you have the more common practice of designing a cabinet for a given speaker in the opposite direction of development. Keep up the great work! Love the content on the second channel!

This video just shows you that the search for the Vintage 30 tone is an ever going thing. I say, if it sounds good, use it.

What I come to, conclusion-wise by playing with the Marshall 1960AV, Harley G212 Vertical and now a G112 Plus (Thiele-BassPort) cab, is that the resonances of the cabinet are super influential on the tone.

With my Mesa power amp, it has Presence control and a Modern Mode, is REALLY good at sounding like shit. But in fact I love it, love to supply it with a variety of speaker pairs (and assorted preamps). Because it’s a challenge. The Mesa UK V30 works well for it. The obvious choice. I finally broke down and went and got a Mesa cab for it. But in my experimental cabs I’ve tried and liked the Creamback 65s and Redbacks as well. These alternatives provide some of the missing mids. Compared to a Marshall amp, that is. Marshall’s are voiced so differently. Thank you for what you’re doing. Solid jams.

Biggest thing for me is speakers are a total lottery. However 16 ohm speakers are almost always a bit more scooped and bright, which sit in a mix better to my ears. 8 ohms are almost always more mid focused and warm. Personal preference but every time I use an 8 ohm in a mix I wind up cutting a bit of mids and warmth and brightening with eq. Would rather just use the 16 ohm to begin with as guitars can get phasey real fast with eq. The 8 ohm Engl sounded 16 ohm like though, real nice.

@flybywire7284 9 ай бұрын

The Orange PPC412 is the winner in my eyes (ears lol). It’s clearer than the Mesas but not harsh. It’s also a lot cheaper second hand I find too. My biggest issue with a quad of V30s is that some amps just end up too dark without blowing the place up. I kind of regretted selling my Recto OS 4x12 but right here is the reason. Another PPC412 for me.

@HarkoBarf 9 ай бұрын

I'm kind of shocked how much they differ, like day and night. At the same time I'm not that surprised because I know that even in the same cab all four speakers can sound dramatically different. Apparently the tolerances are huge at Celestion. At this point I'm not completely sure what matters more, the difference in cab or the difference in various V30 speakers. I would think it's the speakers and even the same type of V30 in a cab would differ a lot from the others in that cab. Who knows... I liked the Stock UK Marshall Vintage 16 Ohm btw and the Chinese Stock 16 Ohm V30 in the Bogner the least.

@10:18 - what year is that Mesa OS cab? Is it the 1999 or 2000 you mentioned (I think?). It sounds wildly different from the Trad and newer OS cans that come before it. Also love the Ampeg in this scenario surprisingly; always love the Marshall MF280 V30s too!

Glenn Fricker did a test with different V30 speakers from different years but...not a whooping 20 of them!

That being said, even if you get 100 of the same production line there will be some minimal variations from item to item just because of how the speakers are made.

Those Chinese 16 ohms V30s don't sound as bad as they say. Mostly all the 16 ohms sounded good for high gain. In my opinion.

Just an idea for another comparison : one cab with v30 chinese from diferent years of production. Seperate v30 uk. I bet you have enough of speakers for this movie .

Wow, I didnt think I could hate the v30 any more than I already do, But you found a way to do it in 20 more different ways!

V30s aren't a consistent model of speaker, there's no 2 of them that sound the same, also cab design and size needs to be adapted accordingly with the speaker, that's why a speaker you like might not sound good on certain cab. Then there's 8 ohm vs 16... Best thing you could do is put a graph eq pedal on the fx loop and try to flatten the eq curve of your cab, but if you have a bad speaker... You can always change it. Fane f70 is cool...
