Hey guys has anyone ever ran a V30 with a G12M before? I have a 4x12 cab with greenbacks (sounds great tired of hauling it) and a 2x12 cab with V30 speaker (also sounds good) I like certain things about both so I wanted to know if anyone has combined the two speakers in a 2x12 before. How did it sound? Did the V30 over power the greenback?
 
Re: Vintage30 with a Greenback? Anyone!

I'll be fair with you, I haven't tried them in a 2x12. 4x12, yes. It works for lower powered gear. You can hear both of them. In my case, the V30 provided some body and the greenback provided a little sparkle. Best way I could describe such a combination.

Does Matchless use the vintage 30 or the g12h30 with the greenback? I went to their site and under specs for the amps it didn't list the speakers in the combos.

I always heard it was a Greenback and a Vintage 30...I got that info from a long time Matchless dealer I used to gig with a fair bit.

He has owned more than a few Matchless amps so I have to trust him...

Yeah, but isn't the V30 60 watts and the GB 25 watts? Wouldn't that affect tone somehow? If I use that combo with a 50W amp, would I be putting the GB in danger of blowing?
 
Re: Vintage30 with a Greenback? Anyone!

The V30 is 100 db and the G12M is 97 db... just sayin'

Again, Matchless does it with good results...

I also have a 2x10 combo, mismatch speakers...one is 99db the other is 96db...

I have a budy that runs 2x12's with Celestion Golds in one side (100db) and Greenbacks (97db) in the other...

Just sayin'...

Sounds good in a 4x12 and should sound good in a 2x12 as well!
