Greyhound no. 1, BV30H for a V30 alternative, BV30V sounded great but maybe not for Metal though... FWIW. Never loved the Vintage 30, but I' not a Metal guy either.
Surprisingly I love the BV30H the most. Sound bigger overall on the chugga rhythms, and clearer on the leads. Even more surprising is I bought/ still own 4 of them 16 years ago. Time to find a quad box and play some metal.
Hey Tom. I'm not really a metal guy but thought you did a great job comparing these speakers! The sound levels were right on and the way you organized everything was clear and concise. I just ordered a British Vintage for my Marshall. Great video.
It has mid range like V30 and upper mids like the Mesa Black Shadow Custom 90. Due to that reason it cuts through the mix even better than the Vintage 30.
@@philfort7886 yes! It’s smoother and not as poky so it will fill out lows and cleans but it’s mids are not as present. The v30 will still sound more forward in the mix
This is great! I'm looking for options for my Egnater Armageddon (great amp btw and I think its a bit darker sounding like your Archon) and Heritage 2x12. I have a Celestion G12T-75 and an Eminence Legend v12. The latter is very balanced and tight in the lows, but the G12T-75 I'm not liking a lot with my amp. I think this amp works best with Vintage 30-type speakers. Out of these I liked the Greyhound and BV 30V the most. Would you think either of those would be a good pair with either the Eminence Legend v12 or the G12-75T? What do you think about other options like the Warehouse Veteran 30 or Eminence Governor? Thanks!
Hi Tom, I watched your video from a bit back with the WGS Green Beret/ET65 mix and really liked how that sounded. I also like the way the Greyhound speaker sounds in this video. I'm swapping speakers in a 412 and thinking to go with either of those options. Could you give your insight on how the Green Beret/ET65 mix compares to the Greyhound when listening in person an which you like better?
i think i like the BV-30H the best. What a great video. Thank you so much for doing this because i was on the fence with some buy thought i liked to BV-30H and now i know for sure!!
this is a lot to ask and I know but could you please upload this to soundcloud or somewhere where there isn't as much audio compression? They sound excellent but I feel that UA-cam takes away from the quality of the audio. Amazing job!
Hey man, great video. 👍 Which one sounded most like the V30 in your opinion? I wanna load a 4x12 cab I have but prefer to get V30 clones to save some money. 😄 To my ear, the BV 30H sounds the closest.
First thanks for taking time to document this - Honestly I prefer mids so V30 for the win- the others sounded small , thin, fizzy by comparison- Maybe mojotone Anthem might be more up my alley - but its really preference- l prefer mid marshall sound like UFO over scooped .
I like the Greyhound the best here, though they all sound pretty good. I like the true v30 the least in this example. Lacking the fullness of the others. Awesome demo!
Both Bv30V and Greyhound sound like a perfect match to mix with a Vintage 30, Greyhound would be my choice for Low Tuning 7-8 strings metal and BV30V for more mid focused heavy metal or leads, thanks for this video, I’m looking for a Mojotone speaker for High Gain tones to use in conjunction with a G12H
Great job on this video. Sound quality/video quality is great. The type of riffing, using chugs and strums in a predictable pattern, really helped me to really hear the differences. I have to say I think I liked the BV-30H best. Very open and clear, letting the amp come through.
I just bought BV30 60 12" 8ohm. Put in my 600 series Bedrock combo. Sounds very good! Tried an Eminence wizard and that was too clean and bright. Was a celestion G12 30 watt small magnet Rola speaker in when I got the amp. I tried to find at local music stores an celestion G12H 30. But was 16 ohm. I'm very happy this MOJO speaker. It's warm and smooth sustain reacts well to amps tone controls. Highly recommend
Tom, great riff for hearing the qualities of each.. the Greyhoud was clear and articulate and well rounded overall.. quite a surprise.. i did not prefer the V30 or the BV30V.. i loved the BV30H.. and i was surprised how they all sound mix vs ISO.. good comparison.. i know one of my favs in Wolf Hoffman uses H30 exclusively as he mainly Chugs and plays Sus4 chords and I see why.. i do think the greyhound and BV30H would be killer together..awesome
Thanks for this! It's very relevant for me... use the MT15 for a lot of my tones, very similar voicing to the Archon, and my favorite cab with it is a PRS SE 2x12, from the original run of "SE" branded amps. The speakers in it have a unique top end grind that I haven't been able to find in any other speaker, but I think the Greyhound might just do it. Just ordered one, should be good!
Glad I found your channel, I build and sell cabinets and I’m always playing with different speaker combos, but I generally mix a V30 and a Creamback H (since they have similar Db sensitivity and power handling) and I love the blend of those two, and the greyhound is the next speaker I’m really looking at to get that perfect blend. I sell my customers unloaded cabinets so speaker choice is always a fun topic for us! I like the demo/comparison, and the greyhound had that pleasing top end roll off that I look for with enough chunk and body down low, and High-Gain is of course my favorite application.
I just bought a BV30H. Im gonna put it in my StageRight 2x12 thats loaded with 2 Celestion Vintage 30.. I cant remember why i went with the BV30H as apposed to the BV30V. In your mix the H sounds a little brighter, which i like. So im glad i picked it. My ear is not the best. Thanks for the mix, so we can hear the differences!!
The Greyhound and the BV30V sounded great. The BV30H was a little too harsh on both the low end and especially the high end; sounded like it had a lot of breakup coming from the speaker itself in those frequencies, though oddly the midrange remained clear. Might work well for a blend with either a Vintage 30 or a Greenback, maybe something like Mojotone's own Watchtower speakers. Also would probably work great for edge of breakup tones, and leads.
I have all of those speakers in various cabs. My fave is the BV30H using a Mahaffay HiLo watt Plexi. Sounds like the perfect mix of V30 and Greenback. In your demo I thought the BV 30V sounded dead nuts Celestion V30. In my own experience I thought the Greyhound got flabby with a lot of overdrive.
I have never been a Vintage 30 fan. The BV30H is better than the V-30 (but not as good as my 1969 G12-30Hs). I'd have to say, the Greyhound is the winner here for me.
I'm a huge fan of Mojotone now that i got the BV30 60w. It's such an amazing speaker, with great articulation and clarity. Better than most speakers out there for sure.
Hey i have a few questions: 1. Is the vintage 30 a Chinese, UK, Marshall, or Mesa Boogie made? Is it 8 or 16ohm? 2. Is the greyhound 8 or 16 ohm? 3. Was it used in a 2x12 or 4x12 cab? Which model specifically? Btw nice playing.
V30 is a new Chinese made one that came with the cab. Cab came from mojotone with a V30 and a mojo BV30-H. All speakers are 8ohms but the cabinet is wired to 16ohms. All the speakers in this video came from mojotone directly so they have only been used in this twin canyon 2x12!
@@TomMcCormickGuitar I just discovered these speakers and this video today. Great to hear those have stayed in your cab as I was leaning towards a combination of them. Any insight on how they sound together? Or any clips?
Torn between the Greyhound and the BV30H. My least favorite one was definitely the BV30V as the mid-range sounds lifeless and scooped, and I strongly prefer very mid-heavy tones myself. I've got a cheap old shitty Marshall cab kicking around that I've only been using for the sake of having more volume at rehearsals, might aswell get myself a couple 8 Ohm Greyhounds or 30H's and load it up with those.
All those speakers sound great but what I really like is that riff. Sick!! This definitely makes me want a mojotone speaker or two.
For sure, I keep coming back for the riff!!
The Greyhound is great but I prefer the BV30H for the mix
I got my Mojotone BV-30H today. This is freakin' awesome speaker IMO.
Greyhound no. 1, BV30H for a V30 alternative, BV30V sounded great but maybe not for Metal though... FWIW. Never loved the Vintage 30, but I' not a Metal guy either.

Very impressed with the Greyhound, great balance of frequencies, I'd call it "mix-ready".
my thoughts exactly. It sounds very cleaned up and usable. No unwanted junk schhhhhhhhhh sounds
Hey Tom. I'm not really a metal guy but thought you did a great job comparing these speakers! The sound levels were right on and the way you organized everything was clear and concise. I just ordered a British Vintage for my Marshall. Great video.
The Greyhound sounds great. It has a full sound with a lot bit of high end. Gave you a sub btw!
Thanks dude gave you one as well. Yeah it's big and full with lots of highs..but not disgusting highs. Super interesting speaker for sure.
I like the way the BV30V sounded the most tbh. Seems clearer than the v30.
It has mid range like V30 and upper mids like the Mesa Black Shadow Custom 90. Due to that reason it cuts through the mix even better than the Vintage 30.
I feel the h is better for jamming. Just remove unwanted frequencies in the mix.
The greyhound is super underrated I don’t know why it doesn’t get more love. The cleans are soooo good too! I have one blended with a V30!
Would you recommend it with an V30. I am looking upgrading my cab and I want to try some speaker mix with an V30.

To my ear, the BV 30H sounds the closest.
That demo song is amazing, I'd love to hear the full version. As for the speaker, they all sound incredible but that Bv 30h is really special.
To me the Greyhound sounds killer. It sounds fuller and more agressive to me ear.
The BV30H sounds so good in that mix. Now I'm eyeing some new MojoTone speakers.

Mesa, UK made V30s are the big dawgs, the Kings of metal in my book. I compare everything to Mesa 30s.

must've been V30 fatigue but dang the Mojotone alternative speakers just eclipsed it by a long shot.
The greyhound sounds very close to the eminence dv77. In this mix I think the bv30h sounds great. Nice treble and mid frequencies.
all of them blow away the Vintage 30 .. trying to find one now to go into my 2 x 12 to be mated with a Celestion G12M Creamback.
What about mixing Greyhounds and BV-30s in a cab?
I have a BV-30 and Vintage 30 in my 2X12 and couldn’t be happier.

Love the Greyhound. Got 2 in a twin canyon and Tone is so woody. Very old American sound and aggressive bite of British tonality
I just order the bv25 soon I will order the bv30H to pair in a 2X12 cab 😊🎉
BV30V for the mix but BV30H its the same sound of V30, cool.
Greyhound #1
Great video. Thank you for comparing these speakers.
Great job on showing off the speakers! I just got two BV30v’s. I also should get the Greyhounds also. Those sound sick 🤟🤟
I kinda wish they would add a 612 to the canyon series cabs
GreyHound All The way man🎉
Absolutely excellent comparison. I'm sold on the Mojotone 30H
The best thing here is this great riff!!!
Is this yours?
Thanks for this! It's very relevant for me... use the MT15 for a lot of my tones, very similar voicing to the Archon, and my favorite cab with it is a PRS SE 2x12, from the original run of "SE" branded amps.

Thanks 🙏
Loving the BV. Great focus and depth with the right amount of body and high end. Greyhound was super sick too
This video is convincing me to put a BV-30V and Greyhound in a 2x12 vertical slant. Good demo.
Which mojotone would you recommend for mixing with Vintage V30??
The greyhound begs for more bass guitar! Turn up that low end! What is this ...And Justice for All?
I have never been a Vintage 30 fan. The BV30H is better than the V-30 (but not as good as my 1969 G12-30Hs). I'd have to say, the Greyhound is the winner here for me.
Tornado 100
i like the v30
I like that 30h. I have a mix of celestion and jensen in my 4 10. The jensens are mod 10 50 n seem similat to the greyhound
Isolated - the Greyhound, in a mix - the BV30V.
Nice work. Good video.
Man! thanks so much for this video! really made me decide to get the greyhound, cheers!
I liked the riffs in this demo a lot. The BV30V sounded great
They all sound so good. I want all 4 of these speakers in a 412 cab
So what speakers did you go with?
BV-30H and Greyhound 🤘
which one do you prefer high gain speed metal tone
Greyhound in the mix; Celestion solo.
They sound cool but the V30 is still king.
What is your model of PRS there? Custom 24
