Members butterguitar Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 I got a lot of comments last night about the tone of my amp and why I get so much presence with only having the presence on 1. These JCM 900's are way too trebley IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zeppelin Rules Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Because the reason people don't like 900s is that they're bright and fizzy I'd try a different speaker, something a little smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am using vintage 30 speakers and they sound great with my Jet City. But through my Marshall they do sound fizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed as much from your sig. Personally I don't like V30s that much with Marshalls. The amp is already made of mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Get rid of the JCM900. Plenty of better options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhorse Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 I just don't like v30s. Like...at all. An amp has to be designed around them for v30's to sound good, but then they can sound really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rey Gato Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well I am using vintage 30 speakers and they sound great with my Jet City. But through my Marshall they do sound fizzy. V30s sound horrible with a 900. You need to be using GT75s or K85/100s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zeppelin Rules Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just curious and excuse my noob question, but in your opinion what amps do best with vintage 30's? Oranges and Mesas mostly. Amps that are made by companies that put V30s in their cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K-Bizzle Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just curious and excuse my noob question, but in your opinion what amps do best with vintage 30's? Modern high gainers usually.Mesas, 5150s, Diezels, Blackstar, many more.Typically british voiced amps + V30s is not a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSXs have more mids and have that "cocked wah" honk going..and they sound great with V30s..all in how you dial it. If a JSX can sound good, the XXX surely can..afterall the XXX cabs have Peavey's take on a modded V30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 An amp has to be designed around them for v30's to sound good, but then they can sound really good. that's absurd. it's just an awful speaker, and that's an excuse. they should actually just destroy v30's and any amps that are mistakenly thought of as 'sounding good through v30's'. that'd really be the best way forward. in all seriousness. 1) {censored} v30's. and 2) the idea that an amp is designed around one speaker is pretty DUM. i mean.. would you want an amp designed to sound good through exactly ONE guitar?

[video=youtube;5hfYJsQAhl0] Depends on what you like..V30s are a recording standard and for good reason..the cabs they come in sound amazing..all in how you dial it.

Well I think my Jet City sounds great with vintage 30 speakers. I would love to hear it with some eminence speakers, since those are the speakers they usually come with. I am really considering trying out some greenbacks for my Marshall to warm it up. I've tried the celestion 75 speakers and thought they were very bitey. They had the treble and bass, but the mids were very scooped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
