Blew my V30 out of my Mesa 2x12 cab last night, well I should say "other" one after I blew the other last Summer and got a nice replacement from
@John_P I believe it was, on ye olde MR.
Anyways, fairly like the old V30s but in the interest of GAS I'd quite like to try something else out.
Literally no idea what to try out as I've always just stuck with V30s. I suppose I tend to go for quite a 90s grungey/heavier tones with big bold cleans. I suspect the vast amounts of feedback, squeals and fuzz octave sounds won't help me keep these speakers very healthy.

Bigger, bolder and cleaner than the V30 while still in that darker/heavier modern area.
Higher rating too, so less chance if blowing it.
The most overlooked and under-rated speaker in Celestion's range...
If you want to spend a bit more, get a Mesa/Celestion Custom 90 - it's like a Classic Lead but 'more so'... darker and slightly dirtier, but not as much as a V30. It was based on an earlier version of the 80 - huge sounding and with even more bottom end.
Both of these mix perfectly with V30s as well.

Where are you Deij?
Dave.
Totting them up, I've had 12 of them so far and haven't blown one yet.
Carlisle mate. :-)
That's a point, an 8ohm 2x12 cab...I bought the wrong ohm last time and I think it was 16 I actually needed. I'll have to check mate. Thanks.
Thanks mate.
I wouldn't like to say 'completely safe', especially if an octaver is involved, but it shouldn't be too far off.
