Angus Young uses V30s with very little gain, and his tone sounds good to me Wink

When I think classic AC/DC tones I think of anything from Back In Black backover - V30s weren't around then. It was all G12Ms and G12Hs on the classic AC/DC albums.

The more recent AC/DC recordings have never recaptured that awesome tone they 'used' to have :(

:twisted:

Fair point my friend, fair point. Still sounded good to me at Donington live though!

V30's arent vintage at all they're harsh higain head cutting monsters (also quite thin sounding in my opinion)..

I think some green back's would suit you fine.

I've got a mate who prefers that Donnington Live album AC/DC tone to their records - I just don't 'get' it :?

On the Tone Tubby website, I read a magazine review I must have missed earlier. Whilst praising the TT, it also had quite complimentary things to say about the Eminence 'Red Fang.' The RF would be doable price-wise, and based upon the description it seems to be more of what I'm looking for. Anyone tried these?

I don't think Vintage 30s will be too modern. You can't go wrong there ;)

I use Classic Leads myself. 80 watt Celestions, similiar to the V30 but with more lows and less highs. Mids are unbelievable ;)

I went through a lot of speakers at Matamp (they have 8 or 10 set up to test with all the time). The celestion blue was the best, but the vintage G12H was also really good. I have Tone Tubby speakers in one of my Fenders and they sound great but are not at all cheap.

The G12H30 should be pretty good. I wouldn't recommend Greenbacks, they're so overrated. The G12M75s are supposed to be higher wattage Greenbacks anyway so they don't sound like the answer to me.

I would say more less low end rather than thin. That's why I use Classic Leads ;)
