Treys HT Style Languedoc Cab

I saw this about the Classic Lead 80s on the Strange Design site too. I didn't get that from the video. I don't think we ever get a look at the part of the speaker that would say "Vintage 30" or Classic Lead 80." And I couldn't tell the cast color because it seemed too dim. Can anyone point to a time in the video where it's definitive? The two speakers look really similar except where the actual model label is. Would be really interesting to turn over this conventional thinking (v30s) about the rig. And what if there were to different speakers in there?

Well, it looks like I need to watch it like 400 times more now
Lol

One thing to look at too is the dustcaps. The Vintage 30s have a smaller one (like vintage fender speakers) and clearly you can see thats what the speakers in the vids have...

V30's have a smaller voice coil and dustcap? They look the same.

I know, someone jump on stage and look. DOn't forget to say, "excuse me" tho.

Since we know they are 12" speakers, I would think you could get pretty close measurements with a little trig calculations just based off the pictures. But yeah, it'd be nice if we could get an official response.

I wonder if the speakers are recessed to make the front of the speaker cover even with the outside of the wood baffle? Though I would think that would only be useful/important if you had a flat cover going over the whole front, and I don't see any mounting/magnets for a cover.

Ha - guess we have an official explanation for the recessed speakers now in the rig video - a completely unintended accident. Good stuff!

Here are links to the official videos since the rips were taken down. All four members did videos, though Trey's is most in-depth

LOL and for what it's worth, when I was first falling for JBLs and I lived close to Merryweather I thought long and hard about bringing my 212 with a K120 and E120 to a Phish show and seeing if I could get someone to bring it back for a trial... but I wanted to see it again so... what could have been? I've been running JBLs and NeoMag in my mostly more Trey-like rig with great results.

Check out the official video, which is clearer. Of the two pics you posted it looks like the tan V30-ish frame, not the grey one.
