interesting, Steve_K told me the opposite. Said front load cabs did not mesh well with the CCV. I might just go ahead and buy a standard Marshall 1960B and swap speakers later on.
...or maybe the 1960BX cab with greenbacks.

Yep, When i dropped the 2 80's in the cab it really made a big difference for me...I was also thinking of dropping 2 65's along with the h30's also...It will either be the 80's or 65's for sure....For me the h30 sound good but i can't imagine having 4 of them in a cab just a bit to bright with no bottom thump...Just my opinion...steve_k":3evnr7lr said:splawner":3evnr7lr said:The best i have heard any CCV through for me is my Marshall cab with 2 celestion 75's and 2 80's paired together in an x pattern...Sounds wicked....I just bought 2 h30's for my other cab and paired them up with 2 greenbacks sounds ok but not as good as my other cab....The greenies will be coming out and there will be 2 80's paired with the 2 h30's should be a good match....
Yeah, there's a couple guys here who swear by the 80's series. Todd is always gushing over the 65's.
You just got to try them out and see what is good to your ear. What works for one guy may sounds like a sack of ass to the next. To me, it comes down to how a particular speaker handles the mid-voicing of the amp and their interaction. Bottom end and articulation controlled more by the cab design.
That's my theory and I am sticking with it.

Yes Sir, I have a production CCV50MkII":jzapbc6q said:Hey Splawner, do you have a production CCV?

It might be worth pointing out that I believe Steve and I play different styles of music (the majority of the time). I believe Steve is more of a metal dude (correct me if I am wrong), whereas I am more of a hard/alternative/classic/blues rock guy. I don't play much of the "heavy stuff" anymore. That difference alone could make our speaker preferences with the CCV quite different.
I've been noticing lately that I'm getting that cool, clear, accurate pick attack sound with the quickly executed 32nd note runs (ala Petrucci) with my setup. You know that whirling sound that he gets when the fingers are flying? It's probably the best, cleanest, and tightest, yet saturated sound I've ever gotten from a rig setup. I'm doing the v30/h30 thing.SLOgriff":2io9zknl said:rlord1974":2io9zknl said:The mids comment is definitely spot on.

I'm NOT a metal player. I'm more of a modern rock guy who favors "Lynch-esq" tones. Love 70's, 80's & 90's and stuff like Dream Theater, Steve Stevens etc.
