They sound like absolutely piss with the VM and I would imagine its the same with AFD. The reason you liked the Mesa cabinet was because it is a different speaker, not because it was rated at 8 ohms. You will love the Greenbacks with both these amps. First off the VM and the Greenbacks were made for each other. Second, they will warm up the tone of the AFD.
I am going to assume that you haven't really played through 4x12s before the ones you have. Generally speaking, 4x12s are rated at 16 ohms.
What I learned when I tested all different types of speakers for myself because I was tired of listening to opinions of others, was that the speakers and cabinets make a big difference. I have six cabs all with different speakers. It is wonderful to have these tone options when chasing a certain tone.I'm not surprised some guys on this site have many cabs, like Surf. I think he has 6?? I wish I had 20 or so with a big a/b/c/d/e/......switch!!
You're wrong actually Every record Slash plays on features his 100 watt Greenback 4x12 cab EVEN Appetite For Destruction, so why would it be voiced for V30s? it wasn't because Greenbacks were the ticket for his recorded tone.edhead wrote:the afd100 was designed or voiced with v30's in mind...so to get the true "intended" sound of the afd100...it'd be best to use v30's.
Why are you still talking about Vintage 30s? I told you Adam Day (Slash's tech) said Greenbacks for his recorded tones!, thats LAW Slash obviously knowing which cab he's always used for recording would take that into account when designing the AFD100.maxamus wrote:the afd100 was designed or voiced with v30's in mind...so to get the true "intended" sound of the afd100...it'd be best to use v30's.
I think that this means that the AFD100 was designed to sound like the AFD album and in getting that sound the were using V30s so everytime slash tried out the amp he would use the v30s and they would adjust the amps specks to work with those speakers.The original amp Slash used for the album was just a normal marshall design to sound however the owner like it,So one was made to sound a specific way and the other was just a amp that slash turned into a Legend.I think if Slash had both amps and had the same settings on both and run them through the same cabs say v30s they would sound different.
