V30'S vs G12T-75's

Thankx for the reply.
I think you got a point there about the lows.

But I was wondering for the real low tuned stuff like B.

And to aswer this, the frequency range (how low/high) and the amplitude of low frequencies are to different things. If the speaker isn't able to translate a (Low B) fundamental very well, harmonics will still be translated. It's not unusual to cut the low end from a guitar below fundamentals in the mix. Should not be a problem.

I'm running into a decision issue here:

I have the choice between a slanted 1960av for around 300 (45min drive) or a straight 1960b for 360 (3 hour drive).

I really don't know what to do! I'm running a Dual Rec Roadster boosted with a TS9.

I'm looking to get a Gojira type sound and I know they used marshall's before (not sure if they had v30's or the 75's in there) but now I know they run EVH with v30's...

help!

Slanted 1960AV. Closer, cheaper and it sounds good.

V30's for me.

Both sound good.. if you want to be safe, use V30, they seem to be allot easier to mic up.
But my favorite sounds have been recorded with G12's, i just think that they sound broader and crunchier, but at the same time, its hard to get a really good sound out of them, but when you do it definitely beats the V30(Thats my opinion.).

Edit:

Oh, and to make things clear: I dont play downtuned modern metal like most guys on this forum! ;P
