Question about cabs with 2 different speaker types?

[Mark_Palangio]

I have a cab with 2 V30's and 2 G12T75's in an X pattern, and when I mic up just a V30...it sounds different than any other cab I've had with all V30's. I realize each cab is going to sound a bit different, but I'm noticing a greater difference in the cab with the G12T75's, even though I'm close mic'ing just a V30. Has anyone else noticed this?

Check the wirings in the cab, could something be out of phase?
I think that it will sound different however, the other speakers influence the sound of the cab as well.

which speaker do you prefer the sound of mic'd up? And also, can you post clips of the difference if you have 2 cabs handy? What is this difference? Bad or Good? Why?

maybe it's just the fact that it's a different cab with a different V30.

there's only one way to tell, pull the G12Ts and load it all V30s and track again...

IMO, the G12Ts are altering the tone

any way you can block one of the speakers so you dont hear the output?

You can get as close as you want and you still won't be "mic'ing just a V30"

That's what I'm thinking. The cab sounds so good in person, but doesn't mic up as well as an all V30 cab IMO.

I like the V30's for recording, I only have one cab now, but I just sold one. It just seems that the all V30 cabs record better, they sound more powerful and crisp, the cab with 75's seems to record kind of dull?
