Swapped out the V30 for a G12H30 today. Much, much better sounds.
Book I'm reading at the mo said v30's sound a bit honky in open back cabs, what was your feeling on it?

I'd say that's right on the money, although one man's honky is another's mid emphasis.
I didn't like it much in a closed back either though but the V30 sounded awesome in scooter13’s blackstar combo. Horses for courses I guess.

Yeah, the V30 certainly has its own flavour going on, which creates the love/hate thing I suppose. The G12H is much more balanced. I think someone earlier used the word 'pretty' to describe it, and as samick as that sounds, I reckon the description is spot-on.
Too many guitars, not enough talent.
