"We're only making plans for speaker demos, we only want what's best for you" (Celestion 12" ideas)

refreshingly relevant ramblings tho alex, 👍 😎

I have paired a Heritage greenback (55hz cone) and a V30 in a 2x12, sounds glorious.

Main thing I want to ask for: use a looper for the comparison s

[@cjbroz313]

I'll be interested to hear the neo speakers, the high power speakers (a lot of overlap there, I know), and some of those neo/high power speakers in a 112 cab vs. whatever speakers in a 212.

Guitarists must be happy, they must be happy, they must be happy in their world...

I'd like to see a comparison of Neo Creamback and Neo V-Type. Thanks.

My suggestion. Build an Upsizing 215 with 2 Celestion Fullbacks and demo it with a 100W Marshall head (or any 100w EL34 head), and prepare to be blown away. If I was in a touring rock band, that would 100% be my rig.

[@tonekilltech]

Actually, knowing that you can put 12s in the Upsizing, maybe a Heritage G12-65 in the top and a Fullback in the bottom would be my ultimate rock stack.

Comparing the Vintage 30 to the Blue is what I would look after the most. Since I discarded buying Alnico speakers, I can't make this comparison myself. But when I tried to approach the Brian May thing, I preferred the V30. The V-Type was marketed as a speaker grabbing the main characteristics of their classic speakers, and I think they nailed it. So comparing it to the V30, those three G12Ms, the G12-65, and the G12T-75 would be cool (I actually did this, minus the G12-65 that I only own as an IR). Another cool comparison would be following the evolution line of the flagship Celestion tone according each point in time, that would be Blue -> Greenback (G12 EVH would be my choice in this case, or either the G12H Anniversary as a substitute of a G12H Greenback) -> G12-65 -> G12T-75, and so on. Then all four Neo speakers could be compared to each other, since these days many guitarists chase weight reduction over tone, but voicing is still important.

My only suggestion is that the speakers are recorded with an Earthworks or similar flat response microphone. Seems most speaker shootouts are done with an SM57 or some other mic that adds color with the excuse being "That's what most FOH guys use." .. when my favorite FOH engineer, Chris Mitchell of Umphrey's McGee, uses Earthworks in almost every situation for an honest representation.

[@riangarianga]

This. Fortunately, if they're recording the room, I guess they should typically discard dynamic microphones.

I would like to hear a 2x12 with different speakers... I like the idea to have the best of two worlds... If I make recordings I often mixing different types of amps and / or cabinets to get the best sounds for song or a part of the song in the context with rock and metal music. I don't like to carry around heavy things, so if it is possible to have a 2x12 cabinet with the perfect sound for me, I would be happy. In the last time I'm using the Amp1 Mercury and the Fatcab from Bluguitar to get different sounds but it's still not perfect for me also if I'm using a second amp and cabinet. It is one thing to record a song over and over again. If you're playing a gig it's a completely different thing. I need the shimmer from the alnico speakers and the massiv low and tight metal sounds in one speaker...

[@chrisstevens4680]

Slightly off topic: Can you do a comparison between a pre Rolla (Thames Ditton) Greenback and a new Greenback, and also a new Greenback that has been ‘run in’? All with a decent distorted Marshall sound. Pretty please!😊

Type a vs type v and/or. Hempback vs type v
