The Vintage 30 is a guitar loudspeaker manufactured by Celestion. It's the one in my profile picture if your Lemmy client supports them. (Edit: now it's my profile picture. Apparently that didn't get transferred from SDF when I moved to Anarchist Nexus.)

Vintage 30

Ironically, the Vintage 30 is not very vintage at all, both chronologically and sonically. It's basically the default speaker cabinet for recording metal guitars. That + a Shure SM57 microphone + any decent high-gain amp head will get you 90% of the way to a good metal tone that cuts through the mix. 🤘

Do you prefer UK-made 30s or Chinese-made 30s? I personally give it to the UK ones because of the mid-range they have.
