«  To what use is HP? »

I used rpeter for 1 month on a 212 marshall with one V30 and one eminence legend. Personally I built a 212 with Celestion G 12T 100 HOT and I'm another one with 100 K lead singer of my band, I use the site marshall (its keeps me from lugging my 212 ).
For starters are not heard at all eminence (a 212 unbalanced and expensive manufacturer) and the V30, but why 3/4 baffles factories are equipped with V30?
Low and almost nonexistent cardboard mediums too loud and shrill or harsh for the ears as it is or with respect to hp, but very sharp slap means therefore obliged to go very, very slowly on the attack strings.
As soon as one goes a little low volume dégueules and garish side forced to wear hearing protection to avoid being dull after a pieces. With my metal band we play in C or D, the V30 hardly makes its frequencies so it's pretty hard to hear and identify.
To summarize: they are heavy, expensive, dry and shrill sound, and part of the punk caves I see what to do with.
My 212 with the T 100 HOT cost me just under 300 €, sounds far better in all respects and is much more versatile.
So think before you order your HP or buy a cabinet, the 30 V are far from the best ones to play metal, better buy an empty cabinet or do it yourself, and it paste G12 T 100 HOT or G 12 K 100 and you will get the top to the metal, hot or cold, dry or greasy, clean and precise, these two models can do everything, rhythm and solos, and all styles of music.
Scrape and good choice.
