cool comparison.....cant tell which one I like out of the four. I can hear distinct differences in the mids with two of the four speakers. I noticed more bass response from the first and last examples.
Lynchback sounded good,the low end on the Greenbacks was awesome.The v30's sounded like my kid brother plugged in his eq pedal into my rig and left it on his metal settings,sounded harsh not natural.Greenbacks!
Mark, man that 1x12 sounds pretty huge there, was thinking about grabbing a couple of those Friedman 1x12s for stereo wet cabs for w/d/w. Impressed with them in contrast to the 4x12...they could hang pretty good!
If I had to rank them, the Vintage 30 in the 112 would be the worst but the Vintage 30 in the 412 would be the best. So much cut. Thin by itself but Perfect for a dense band mix.
That was surprising, the V30 sounded much better in the 1x12 cab, kinda brittle sounding in the 4x12 the greenback sounded great, just wish they could handle a bit more power
Lynchback in the 1x12 sounded the best but a clip of it ina 4x12 would be great. There is a depth to the V30 in the 4x12 that is lacking in the 1x12 samples.
lynchback for me Mark... I am getting the PT soon hopefully... wish you did a Creamback 65, which comes with the original Friedman cab... but this was very useful despite..
I think the Lynchbacks and Greenback wins in my opinion here.. The V30 8 ohms sounds closed in and the V30 16 ohms has way to much mids around 1 - 1.5khz... Although I usually love V30 speakers..
Different voice coils. A 16ohm voice coil has thinner wire, and more winding. 8ohm has thicker wire, and less windings. No way to make them sound the same.
Mark, this Lynchback speaker is all about 80's hair metal you're so good at!! What's your thought about it? To me, it's clearly a winner by far over the other ones for this kind of tone. Any chance your shoot a video with this speaker allong with the Axe fx 2? Thanks and good job as usual!! Cheers from Canada!!

Very cool comparison Mark!! Do you think the brightness of the 4x12 V30s vs. the 1x12 V30 was attributed to the mic placement, impedance, or is the 4x12 just brighter sounding?
Thats how you do a sound comparison.No long pause, sounds and No talking in betreen demos.
Greenback's sounded great IMO. I think the 4x13 with V30s at 16ohms also sounded good, but still prefer the greenbacks.
Greenback All The Way! Thanks for taking the time to compare them for all the You Tubers!
The Lynch sounded the smoothest and least harsh. Most of the other ones sounded like the midrange from a cheap telephone

Sounds AWESOME!!! I really dig it with the V30 8 ohm Cab!
Lynchback sounded good,the low end on the Greenbacks was awesome.The v30's sounded like my kid brother plugged in his eq pedal into my rig and left it on his metal settings,sounded harsh not natural.Greenbacks!
Wow. What a difference. Personally like the greenbacks.
The others sound either muffled by blankets or too scooped.
Greenback by a country mile. That V30 sounded so harsh to my ears and the Lynch just lacked clarity for me.
Nice. My vote is on the Greenback. Bet that sounds great with a full band. with more mids to cut through the mix.
Hey mark you make this amp sound badass!
Killer amp!
Woooow!! I did not know there was such a big difference in sound between 8 and 16 ohms!!
It's also a 412 compared to a 112.
Brandon Adams
Aah!! Thanks. Did not even notice that! That could explain why the tone was way different. Haha

Greenback :D loving it in my Vox G2 cab aswell. no more tone search!
Greenback...... The end! Great video!
Greenback woww perfect
V30 will cut through easily, lynchback sounds awesome on its own
16ohm Greenback 112cab. hands down!
I prefer the first one. But it's how they'd sound in a band situation that would clinch it. Perhaps try it with a backing track.
The 4/12 obviously has incredible cut and bass response, but the single Greenback if miked and given a nice PA treatment
probably would sound as good.
Hi, was this recorded straight in, no pedals?
does this amp do any sort of usable clean? if you want to gig between the full-on friedman sound and a solid clean are you out of luck?
I think the 4x12 v30 was much brighter since the top speakers are points directly at camera mic. The other clips used the 1x12 that was on the ground
If I had to rank them, the Vintage 30 in the 112 would be the worst but the Vintage 30 in the 412 would be the best. So much cut. Thin by itself but Perfect for a dense band mix.

Lynchback is cleaner, although dark. I like it, but would probably lower bass a bit and push mids a bit.
I wonder how my new Friedman RUNT i preordered will like the GREENBACK?
Runt 50 with a well broke-in G12H30 is VH I & II all day! I run a Dr Z 1x12 with a Matchless 30; kills!
lynchback for me Mark... I am getting the PT soon hopefully... wish you did a Creamback 65, which comes with the original Friedman cab... but this was very useful despite..
Almost all of the demos sounded good, and would really just be up to personal taste. I didn't quite like the 412 cab with V30's tho.
I cannot finally make up my mind between Lynchback and Green Back.
I think the Lynchbacks and Greenback wins in my opinion here.. The V30 8 ohms sounds closed in and the V30 16 ohms has way to much mids around 1 - 1.5khz...
Although I usually love V30 speakers..
what type of greeback did you use mark?
Could you record same riff directly from amp?
they all sound great.. 16 ohm sounds brighter
Lynchback in the 1x12 sounded best to me followed by the V30 in the 1x12. Interesting how I didn't like the sound from the 4x12 here.
4x12 V30's, greenback very close second.
These regular Chinese G12Ms from Celestion? i.e not Heritage model?
Lynchback seems to sound the best IMO.
I don't understand what is due to the increase of high V30 16 ohms.than 8 ohm. Miking is made on a cone even if it is 4 x 12.
Different voice coils. A 16ohm voice coil has thinner wire, and more winding. 8ohm has thicker wire, and less windings. No way to make them sound the same.

2,4,1,3.
Greenback FTW!
Greenbacks hands down!
How does the 4x12 end up sounding thinner then all 3 of the other cabs?
The pt 20 doesn't have the power to make that cab thump
My vote is for Green back speakers....
Might want to check out the G12M-65
is this a riff from a real song?
Green Backs ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like my Eminence GB128 50 watt greenback type speaker
Lynch and green backs!
why does the 8ohm and 16ohm sound different?
Different voice coils. A 16ohm voice coil has thinner wire, and more winding. 8ohm has thicker wire, and less windings. No way to make them sound the same.
Very cool comparison Mark!! Do you think the brightness of the 4x12 V30s vs. the 1x12 V30 was attributed to the mic placement, impedance, or is the 4x12 just brighter sounding?
Definitely mic placement
Greenbacks win 🏅
Greenbacks for sure for me. More clarity.
for me the GREENBACK had the most VH tone
Greenback then Lynchback.
don't really like v30's it seems to have a narrow bandwidth
Greenback!!
this thing is awesome. not a fan of the price though. lol.
Greenbacks of course.
Lynchback, then the Greenback. Didn't care for the V30s at all.
Greenback then Lynchback
I thought greenback sounded most balanced.
Greenback is waaaaaaaaaaaay better!
The V30 loaded 1X12 sounded really bad
Celestion v30
Lynchback 4 me
yeah. Van Halen song... /watch?v=NkJOZOOXJWk
