Plexi through V30s. Yay or nay?

[Bxlxaxkxe]

For higher gain stuff, I prefer V30s with every Marshall I've had, including old Plexis. For more midgain crunch stuff, I much prefer the G12M, though. I've tried mixing speakers but always go back to keeping them all the same.

+1. Except I do love mixing both

Yay!

I love a plexi through v30s.
I love most anything through v30s

They may not be the best for late night bedroom jamming, but give them a little volume and it’s the ultimate rock and roll speaker imo.

Recently played my Bray 4550 through my 412 that has GBs and V30s. Killer tone. Busted out my SL68, tried it through same cab. Penis became erect.

I bring this up because I’ve heard guys—some whose opinions I respect—say plexis and V30s don’t get along so well sometimes. Not my experience so far.

Spent an hour or two with each amp through that cab; holy shit! Punchy, clear, detailed, growl—killer. I was hearing GBs too of course.

I’m considering getting a couple Scumback M75s to pair with V30s in this cab. I have another 412 with SBs, really dig ‘em.

Anyways, I’m really curious about other people’s experiences with plexis and V30s. Bring it.

I have a 412 with greenbacks in top and v30s on bottom with a 1987x. Sounds killer.

I have never tried a plexi.....heresy-I know.....not that I recall anyway...

You could get banned for admitting to that here.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I know-but I will never lie to you....lol....800's and 900's.....maybe a mode 4 and another SS type...but never a plexi.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I forgot about my jvm...duh...that was a nice one...and I'm not a marshall guy....

 

[VonBonfire]

I know-but I will never lie to you....lol....800's and 900's.....maybe a mode 4 and another SS type...but never a plexi.

You owe it to yourself. I personally think the 50 watt is probably the one to own but that's just my opinion. Or maybe a JTM45.

 

[JackBootedThug]

If I find a good deal I would snag one...just out of GP....

It occurs to me that I should’ve said plexi through V30s and GBs—together, in a 412. I haven’t tried V30s by themselves.

The only V30's that I liked with my plexi's and other Marshall's are the Mesa Boogie V30's that Celestion builds for Boogie.

 

[Rex Rocker]

You gotta consider that V30's are 3dB louder than Greenbacks.

So take your 100W plexi, and if you were having trouble with driving it at manageable volumes through Greenbacks, all of a sudden it becomes 200W through V30's.
