After several Previousss ownerhours of play on this cab and speaker, I find the bite (more like mid peak) that characterizes the V30 to cut thru the mix way better than the ET65. In a self-amplified band environment, that's the secret to success. If I weren't another old guy still schlepping gear in cruddy bars, I'd love to find a beat up old 1960 cab and load it with 25w Greenbacks. My back just twinged thinking about it.
Sunday...err, recovery day...reminds me that I'm not in the most prime of my life. But the fun the night before makes it all worth while.
