UPDATE -- Grabbed a pair of Creamback H75s and LOVE them.
Just overthinking about speaker options. I’ve got an unloaded Mesa 2x12, moving down from a 4x12 for my gigging rig. I’m playing a Badlander in a fast modern rock/hardcore punk sort of thing, Rise Against-esque but without any songwriting talent.
I’ve got some spare 8ohm English built V30s, regular Celestion not Mesa stamped. They are tried and true, I know do the sound I’m used to, but entertaining the idea of trying something else. I’m typically pretty much always a Vintage 30 guy, that’s also what’s in my 4x12, but have also owned and enjoyed Creamback 65s and Lynchbacks, although don’t have any on hand anymore.
I do have a Scumback J75 sitting around, and could grab a second one for the cab. Kinda concerned that two J75s in a 2x12 could sound a little too scooped compared to V30s, other guitarist is running V30s in his cab and since I do leads I need to be sure I cut through when needed.
Haven’t liked any eminence speakers I’ve ever owned honestly but there’s all sorts of brands in the market now compared to a decade ago.
Idk, what would you guys chuck in a 2x12, or should I just stick to what I know fits me?
