Stay well clear of the seriously over rated V30s..

I'd personally go with...

The V30s...relaxed lower mids and upper mid spike really aren't my thing.

This is all just your opinion matey, and your first sentence is overly harsh. Just because you don't like V30s, it doesn't mean everyone else should "stay well clear". They're good enough for Angus and Slash, among many others.

I'd suggest Woogie tries a V30 equipped cab, with the amp he has (or is planning on buying), and sees what he thinks of the tone for himself.

Does Angus use V30s? I didn't know that I always thought ACDC used Greenbacks.

Angus uses V30s live with his 1959SLP reissue 100w heads, and has done for a few years. His early and studio tones have been mainly old Greenbacks in his favourite 4x12 along with his #1 JTM45 head. He does mix and match a little bit with whatever he fancies at the time though. He has used SG Juniors for the odd solo too, for a bit of P-90 fatness.

from wikipedia:

"Speaker cabinets he has used have been Marshall 4x12"s (model 1982 and 1960, mostly B models) with Celestion G12H 30 watt (on old recordings), Vintage 30s (on newer recordings) and G12M 25 watt speakers (on solos/overdubs on newer recordings). Malcolm has used Mesa Boogie Cabs before as seen on AC/DC's 1992 live album, Live."
