Recommend me a 1x12 Cabinet with V30

[stilllifer]

Hey all. Recommendation and question actually.

I already have a 1x12 Jet City cab with GT12-75 that is awesome but I'd like to get another 1x12 with w/12" V30. I know it makes more sense to get a 2x12 cab and put a V30 and the GT12-75 into a 2x12 cab but my Jet City JC20H head only has a 16ohm input (I used my 8ohm input for a depth mod - long story). If I went the 2x12 route, I think that would be an impedance mis-match, with a 16ohm V30 and and 16ohm GT12-75 correct??? I would require my Jet City head to run at 8ohms right? I'm also running a Krank Rev Jr 20W that is switchable between 16 and 8ohms, so no worries with that head in either case.

Any recommendations would be awesome! I'm pretty much playing anything from 80's metal to doom-sludge...

Cheers!

Geoff

The little Mesa 112's that go with the new Recto Mini sound killer.

They sound huge for 1x12s. Played one alongside an Engl 2x12 and ended up buying the Mesa. Engl had a weird midrange with my Krankenstein.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The Mini Recto's are a bit out of my price range though. Will check out the Orange 1x12 as well.

Anyone tried the Mesa 5:25 Express 1x12 cab? Got a line on one of these for a very good price.

Let me know.

Cheers!

I've also recently been looking at 1x12 cabinets with a V30 speaker to add to my Egnater Tweaker cabinet with the G12H-30 and one that sparked a little interest in me was the new offerings from Ampeg, they offer two 1x12 cabinets with V30 speakers, the one I find a bit interesting is the GVT112EW:

Ampeg's GVT112EW guitar cabinet delivers rich, full tone that only Ampeg can provide, featuring Ampeg's double-baffle design for more low end. The 12" Celestion® Vintage 30 speaker beautifully handles up to 60 watts of power at 16 ohms. The GVT112EW is the perfect fit for Ampeg's GVT52-112 guitar combo.

Another option is the Ampeg GVT112E which is more of a standard sized 1x12 extension cabinet:

Ampeg's GVT112E guitar cabinet delivers classic 70's Ampeg looks in a road-ready design that delivers straight up tone. The 12" Celestion® Vintage 30 speaker beautifully handles up to 60 watts of power at 16 ohms. Perfect for any Ampeg GVT head or combo extension, the GVT112E offers true American tone.

Thanks man. Yeah I was looking at these yesterday - the double baffle claims to produce more low end - that would be great. Need to find a vendor in Canada that has these but at $300 US, that's not bad for a new cab with V30. I'm also looking at the Yorkville/Traynor 1x12's with V30 - they are very well built here in Canada.
