Best value:
Excellent
Initially, I wanted to sell my gear (100 + TSL 1960a), it was drooling too much in the bass (especially with the LP Std) and I wanted to sound more right, sharper ... and I thought of Engl ...
Then I told myself that instead of slamming EUR 2000, I was going to attempt a manipulation to 200 euros by changing the HP from my cab.
So last week, I made this manip: 198 euros for the HB in 2x12 V30 (received in 2 business days), 6 euros Cable (2.5) and 1 euro for the base jack, total 205 euros.
Dismantling of the 2 hp G12t75 marshall, dismantle all the wiring of origin (even finer than that of HB), installation of V30 Cross, and REWIRING complete with direct solder lugs on the HP and I replaced the plate printed circuit by a female Jack Mono. Silicone on all interior edges. Reassembling everything and hop check with the multimeter: baf 4 ohm! Damn, I had Uygur somewhere! Anyway, I just looked and finally I had forgotten to wire a connection between 2 HP .... So now I'm only 16 ohm mono and everything works perfectly!
Since then I've played 4 good hours on the cab with my head, TSL100, and frankly the change of HP is super gross!
FYI, before making the changes, I played a good 2 hours in the same room with the same guitar (LP) and at the same volume, all without effect ...
It's the same review as all those who made the change: much more precise, more PMUT rights, but especially over the drool, I do not know if it comes from HP or cables but I feel have grown in power distribution ... ok, is more "showy" as before but lowering the treble knob and then manages it, HP does not yet run-in. I have not the sound of Engl .... but I re-discovered my TSL100! I had to reduce the gain on the Lead channel has so much more than before ... y '
I will leave a notice after one rehearsal to get a real idea of rendering 1960a amended in the mix.
I placed the 2 remaining in the cab G12T75 HB and I will use for the home. I tested the sound of the cab with the V30 and HB with the G12:
V30: very loud (running), good sound in all for the price, lack of body and curves
G12: very round (too), good sound also lacks precision
End of the demonstration: V30 + G12 = Excellent Mix for 200 euros and 2 small hours (I had never welded before and frankly super simple).
