dave, I used the have a GH100L (LOVED that amp) so I can relate to it's tone...how are the V12s with it?^ yeah, pretty much. I haven't tried them with my 18 watt clone (they're sitting in their boxes at the moment), but i've tried them with my laney gh50L which is (far as i'm aware) more or less a hotrodded 800.
I'm guessing the GB will be more "classic marshall", while the v12s are smoother and more lower-mid orientated. They're good for taming something that's too bright (i got them to use with my jet city).
^ they will be going in a Marshall 1960B....what do you think?Quicker breakup with GB's which are undoped and a bit darker than V12's but nice dispersion.
V12's i think have a bit more bottom end and slightly beamy and brighter.
To me both are somewhat lower mid oriented, but i have used them in a variety of cabinets so the cabinet comes into play.

as i said, mine aren't broken in (which isn't likely to change any time soon since they're sitting in their boxesQuicker breakup with GB's which are undoped and a bit darker than V12's but nice dispersion.

My V12's are early as well. 16 oms each and pulled from my 2000-01 Krank 4x12.To be honest my V12 and GB are very early versions, these are like late 90's or 2000 built.
Also none of mine have a lot of break-in either as i have a lot of other cabinets and amps in general, so take what i say with a grain of salt!
I am thinking my V12 need more break in time especially.
I actually thought about applying pre rola doping around the dust cap to smooth out the highs....and i may just do that yet!
i think soldano uses the 16 ohm ones, too.My V12's are early as well. 16 oms each and pulled from my 2000-01 Krank 4x12.
They have no sticker on the back of the magnets. Only way to ID them is by the small white sticker tab on the side of the magnet. Eminence doesn't sell the V12 in 16 ohms anymore either. Only availble through Krank now for some reason.
