Whats your favorite 4x12 for a JVM?

Or whats your favorite Speaker/Speakercombination?

Whats your favorite for JCM 800?

The JVM was designed with G12T-75 and I tend to use it with those. I also like the Greenbacks and the G12H-75 Creamback. I am not that fan of the V30 though.

For the JCM800 I tend to prefer Greenbacks

This is amp heresy!!!!

Depth and presence both at 2 o'clock!!! The amp sounds absolutely MEGA that way!

sure, those presence and resonance settings will add an extra 'smiley EQ curve' at the power amp. Which pickups/speakers are you using, high output pickups and V30?

Of course!

Duncan Distortions in my Les Paul, and V30's in my 4x12 !

lol, well, one day, when you get older or just feel brave, try some low/mid output humbuckers

+1
I love Vintage 30's with modern/smoother high gain amps, but 2203's sharp crunchy preamp + Greenbacks is the perfect combination.

I really have no idea, I haven't built nor seen any in person...
I've built myself a couple of clones over the years but I always bought everything myself and had the chassis manufactured for me.

Anyway, as long as the chassis and transformers are half decent, the rest is easiy changed if you fancy any particular brands. The circuits are super simple and have been puiblic for decades so one would hope that they are getting that bit right
