I have a greenback/ g12h30 (heritage) / v30 and texas. Alot of lows. Almost too much. I was debating on trying the g12t75 and g12h30 anniversary in place of the heritage and texas. I am sure it would sound very similar with less bass. I do like the combination alot in my Voodoo amps 4x12. I had a governor before the greenback and like the greenback in the mix better as the governor has a higher frequency that is very upper mid compared to the greenbacks low mids.

I love my G12T75's. Great for my modded JCM 800. With my new vox I may get a V30. All of the above mentioned speaker have pro, cons, and purposes. All of the above have been used/used by many pros with great tone.

I found the v30 to have way to much midrange for me. Almost ice picky. I do like v30's in the x pattern in a 4x12 with a g12h30. H30's just plain rock. They are the equivilent to a gb25/v30 cross with alittle more tight bass in them. Listen to VH I, gb25. Listen to VHII or Fair Warning...h30's.

How about the G1265? I'd really like to get my hands on those. I guess I can wait for the reissues this summer, or go with the Emi Tonespotter which is supposed to be very similar, but more efficient.

I remember the original 65's in the early JCM800 cabs and combos. They worked good both in combo's, and in 4x12's. Really the 65 loaded 4x12's sounded better than the G12-80 loaded 4x12's. I really feel that Marshall would be well served to replace the current applications of the G12T75's, by going back to the 65's. The 65 was warmer and is less sterile, much more like a GB-25, but doesn't mush out under heavy gain. When the 65 was superceded by first the really sterile G12M70, and then by the not much better 75, the tone suffered, imo.
