New Cab Day!

Those older early 2000s v30s/vintage are smoother on average than later mid-late 2000s and up. Mesa also used to list theirs as 70w, until 2010ish when they switched the rating to 60w.

TOJB's research seems to suggest that if you compared the average Mesa 16ohm UK V30 from a 212 cab in the year 2000, it would sound very close to a 2000 Marshall Vintage 16ohm.

A friend of mine had a Behringer cab with an input jack problem

We just removed it and tweaked the contacts

Looking at those in the image

That would be difficult

Mine is from 1994 though. I was told then they were 60w rated. I can't even get to the cab right now to look at the back plate, it's packed behind some other equipment.

This one Appears to have been made in 2000.
they definitely sound different than regular Celestion V30s to my ears.
They are a lot fuller down low, and not as much of a high-mid punch.
smoother than the aggressive V30. To my ears anyhow.

That's what V30's from that era are like.

After rewatching the whole "do you even v30?"
Video(cuz I'm a nerd) I have come to the conclusion that most of the low ended smoothness that I am hearing has probably a lot to do with the fact that it's a B cab. Sounds a bit woofier and deeper... until you are right in the middle of the B cab Laser beam focus....

Very cool setup.
