Members sonnyg84 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I know Fryette uses Eminence in their cabs (so does Soldano), would V30's be too harsh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalhobo Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 VHT used V30s (as well as other speakers) in their cabs up until they designed the P50 and contracted Eminence to build them. If you like V30s with other amps, I'm sure you'll like them with VHT/Fryette amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonnyg84 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 How do the two speakers compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iff Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I run my Deliverance through V30s and it sounds great, but can get ice-picky VERY easily. Haven't tried P50Es yet, but I hope to do so as soon as I can find a VHT cab used for a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've never had a problem mixing v30s/Fryettes. I think they can sound great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phrophus Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I run my Deliverance through V30s and it sounds great, but can get ice-picky VERY easily. Haven't tried P50Es yet, but I hope to do so as soon as I can find a VHT cab used for a decent price. Pretty much exactly my thoughts. I'm running my Sig:X through V30's at band practice and through a k100 at home, and have to adjust the highs for sure. I was actually a bit concerned about using V30's with it, but it turned out nicely. Still going to get a Deliverance cab at some point, though.

Members Hellaboogie Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm also curious as to what speakers mix well with the P50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tech21man Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Some of that stuff in there are way off reality. WAY off!!! About the low end or the harsh top end due to suspension etc. Worst? Front loading it that could produce again "treble distortion". Well, some of the best sounds came for me front front loaded closed or open back V30 cabinets and what is more, palm mute was excellent with body and I'd swear I'd want MORE high end. Not less. Plus I thought that the V30 was always a middy speaker. I could imagine these statements have more to do with the fryette sound/amps/design in combination with the V30 rather than the speaker itself.

Members sonnyg84 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well I recently acquired a Sig X and I'm trying to find a cab for it. The Fryette cabs are expensive and it seems to me that the P50E speakers aren't nearly the better of the Eminence line. There's a guy in town selling a mint Ibanez Thermion 4x12 cabinet (V30s) and I'm wondering if its going to compliment the Sig. V30 cabs seem to be easy to come by than Eminence cabs.

Members peavey_impact Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I used to have a V30 loaded Carvin Legacy 4x12 that sounded great with my Deliverance 60. That said I do prefer the Pitbull Emi's. Another great and probably more affordable option are the Legend V128 speakers. Awesome IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonnyg84 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Actually, if I remember correctly, its said that the P50E's are identical to the V128's. But, its alot easier and cheaper just to get a used loaded cab. Hmmm, Which one is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ::fred:: Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Never liked the sound of VHTs thru V30s. If you don't have an Emi loaded cab right there for a head to head comparison, yes, you might think they work well. But in reality they just don't match. Plug in a Rectifier or a Marshall thru the V30s cabinet and you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, the V128 handles 120 watts as opposed to the P50E's 50, and the V128 is a lot darker and smoother sounding. I own both FWIW. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those three speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BustaPheara Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I run an Ultra Lead through V30s. I'd very much like to try out a Deliverance cabinet some day, but for now, I'm happy with my sound. There seems to be this dogma among a lot of Fryette users that they ONLY sound good through Fryette cabs. I have no doubt that they do sound glorious, that way, but I think that, if you've always liked the way V30s have sounded with other amps, you'll probably like them with the Fryette, as well. I know that Dave Weiner uses V30s with his Ultra Lead, and his recorded tones are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just received a shipment of V30s from China, they're 50W and sound different from every single V30 I've ever heard (in a good way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tech21man Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Please elaborate on the new china V30s. Can make out any differences? (looks etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ::fred:: Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Please elaborate on the new china V30s. Can make out any differences? (looks etc). here are some photos for ya.. As you can see, these are 50W - different from the most common 60W and the less common 80W versions. Either this is a totally new model/batch (nobody in Russia has received them yet apart from us), or this is some kind of a Hiwatt spec V30 (because we got them thru our friends in UK). Regardless, I like how they sound. And I always hated V30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats this 80w V30 you speak of ? An OEM version for a particular company ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ::fred:: Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 Whats this 80w V30 you speak of ? An OEM version for a particular company ? Might be, I don't know for sure. We had a couple of customers with various combos and cabs bring them in for repairs, and they had 80W celestion v30s in them. Didn't like the way they sounded too.

Members cobrahead1030 Posted January 15, 2012 Members Share Posted January 15, 2012 I use my deliverance with v30's and think it sounds great...TBH though i've not tried the amp with too many other speakers It sounded great through my 2x12 when i bought it, so i never changed anything.
