So I used to have a Mesa Mark IV combo that I loved dearly, and would play through a recto 2x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s. Unfortunately I had to sell it and have been scouring every music store in my area to replace it (no luck so far, likely going to have to go the eBay route...)
I Don't really gig anymore but I much preferred the sound of the 2x12 V30 cab to the stock speaker in the combo, I am likely to have any problems if I get another Mark IV combo and replace the speaker with a V30? (I ask because the V30 speaker is rated at 60 watts while the amplifier is 85, not sure how that works.)
So I'd love to have just a combo sized mark IV with the v30, but if this is going to kill the speaker, what would you guys recommend instead? Could I use the standard black shadow in the combo and a 1x12 extension cab with a v30 at the same time?
Thanks for your help!
