These are great & feel and sound quite a bit like the real thing. I've not found anything close and have been trying to mess with impulses to get these sounds. I got my four favorite speakers and they're not going to be an all-in-one replacement for my old favorites but pretty impressed with the feel and depth.

Haven't had time to record, but here's my mini review of the "mix" impulses (there's only one in each, but they're excellent).

H-CB-75
Based on a 2013 8-ohm Celestion T5890B 75-Hz cone "Creamback" G12H-75, made in England.

The OwnHammer_412_ORNG_M-CB-75 is great for riffs and shredding and I started to love this speaker quite a bit in the Modern Studio High Gain pack because it is virtually noise free yet cuts through and has a nice full bodied sound.


H-BB-55
Based on a 1977 15-ohm Celestion T1281 55-Hz cone "black back" G12H.

The OwnHammer_412_ORNG_H-BB-55_Mix one has the speaker I found in the Vintage Studio Mix library to match some of the 80s rock sounds like White Lion. This one's not as "open" but I like it because of that, actually.



H-SB-75
Based on a 2010 16-ohm 75-Hz cone Scumback H75.

The 802 OwnHammer_412_ORNG_H-SB-75_Mix I preferred over the M's on the Marshall Checkerbord cabinet mixes, but this one is like the H-BB-55, not so open and fizzy but that's what I liked about the real Orange cabinets. I'm curious about the Ms now. I know the Ms were better for my other guitar, but through orange cabinets, I may have to check out the Ms for my Maple Neck/Tonezone this time. But you guys will probably like this one over that so it's hard to say but if you like Scumbacks but find yourself post EQing, this may be better for you and will contrast in your mix since it's a different color of Scumback altogether. Guessing detuned, it's a monster. *The other option is actually the 8 ohm J75...hmmm...


V30-CH-16
Based on a 2005 16-ohm Celestion T3904 Vintage 30, made in China.

The OwnHammer_412_ORNG_V30-CH-16_Mix is the trustiest V30 cabinet speaker for me, and this one's not as "huffy" as the checkerboard, but I found it has a snappy sound for lower gain and split pickup sounds. I can almost say for certain, this will rock with a strat or tele and single coils and is nice & clean.

So I am liking these enough to return for the Scumback Js and I see there's an EVH V30 (2013) and am very curious about that one too. Lot of what if's now because speakers I may not have liked may be great. I'm also gonna have to try out the trust SM57 impulses and see what I think too. I'm not sure why we can't see which power amp is used like in the Studio Mix Packs. I DO NOT like the file naming on these, I'm hoping that there are updates for us buying these on day one.

They also have a modern & metal pack you can try out. I'm going to side with a previous post here that this needs to be thrown all together for about $30 or $40, but I've only spent like $15 on four speakers I knew were solid for me. I probably wont spend more than they would charge, but sure would like to be able to test them all without buying them all.

I can probably use what I got and blend them to make the perfect sound for me, so thought I would recommend these speakers anyway. It took quite a while to come to the conclusion that these are the best from all those I've tried in other cabinets so worth a look if you are lost as to where to start. The catchy ENGL, MESA, BGNR, DEZL or whatever cabinet ones don't always mean you'll get what you're looking for so don't go buying brands without trying some of these would be my best advice, but the V3 speakers & cabinets have been top notch so far, so take with a grain of salt.

At least the Modern & Metal grab bags are only $5 each.

Update: I just scrolled through again, all the way to the bottom & there's so many V30s for this, it's gonna hurt if I start getting too curious lol Let me know if you go for one of them and like it. The stock Orange V30 itself is something I've tried out and it's a beast for detuned riffs and solos through a Rockerverb & a baritone guitar anyway. Arrrr! haha
