Its a Celestion and its well made, reliable and powerful, but many find it's somewhat harsh and lacking in bass, particuarly on the OD channels which already have a strong bass de-emphasis. Good for a screaming lead tone but not so good for a warm crunch.

It gets better if its broken in for a while at high volume. Also, you can add an EQ box in the loop to boost bass which helps.

But the V30 is alot better.
