This is why you need both G12M and G12H Greenbacks in your 4X12!

Thanks, Johan. Incredible as always. With my JTM45 head I use a 2x12 cab with a G12M Heritage and a G12H (55) Heritage. It sounds fantastic!

Hello Johan, this combination of speakers delivers indeed a full, rich, classic "British voicing" and beyond to metal, compensating the endemic lack of freequencies of each type, cheers!👌🏼

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Vincenzo! Glad to hear that. Cheers!

Great demo Johan! As much as I love my G12Hs I have to admit that adding the G12Ms to the mix sounds even better! Super.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Max! Glad to hear that

[@Funkybassuk]

I have a 1x12 Marshall 1974CX cabinet with the “aged” 20W Celestion G12M (not 25W) and I also put a vintage 1977 30W Celestion G12H 55Hz in my 1x12 Marshall Studio Vintage cab. Running my Marshall Studio Vintage head through both cabs sounds glorious and huge!

[@oceanchief2388]

I've been experimenting and using various speaker combinations for around 30 years now and yes. Cheers 👍

[@JohanSegeborn]

Cheers!

[@mendelrocks]

The mix of the two totally nails it! Louder always tends to sound better too. Some (nice) L/R panning here for the two speakers listening in stereo. Still can tell they're a good combo.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks!

[@dananthony6258]

I like the combo but I would choose the G12H if only could have one. Johan should be in a band . I like the simple little riffs he does.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Dan! Makes me glad to hear

[@zerosoma33]

I appreciate your effort, but you have different mics on each speaker. Even if you could have done 2x2 (like 2x SM57s and 2x MD421's; one SM57/MD421 each on the two M's and one SM57/MD421 each on the two H's) that would have been better. That way we know it's not just the mic. Again, you're doing this out of your time so thank you but it really does make it hard to determine anything.

[@USTTRM]

I have often thought how my 73 G12M would sound paired with a Vintage 30 in 2X12. Now you’ve got me thinking G12H is a great option too! Thanks For another great show!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! V30 is a great combination too

[@williamshephard3205]

Thanks for the video I.had the idea of doing the same thing with the 55 hertz H's and some M's. Your video helped me make up my mind. Thanks again!

[@riangarianga]

The G12M combines great with many speakers, it's pure gold! I like combining a G12M Heritage Series with a modern G12T-75 to add thump and a bit of harshness to the top end, while the G12M fills up the midrange. One of the reasons of choosing this they have almost identical sensitivity, so no speaker overpowers the other.

[@alrecks619]

T75 complements them Greenbacks really well.

[@hgostos]

I have a cab with a 75 and a Tayden true brit (g12m clone) and it sounds cool too.

[@jeffallen3382]

Would love to see this combination in a side by side comparison of the Hiwatt Purple Back Fane speakers.

[@picksalot1]

Definitely better when the 2 speakers are combined. I use a Modeler, and checking the Cab Specs against the Real Cab Speaker Specs has helped me dial in a much more accurate sound to what I want. The Modeler Cab Specs could vary widely due to how the unit might be used, such as in the Studio, Home, Live, Headphones, going out to a real Speaker Cab, etc. Thanks

[@potential2themax]

Yep, the combination of the two when you played the “kiss chords” - sounded just like them

[@siegfriedwashburn3484]

Hi, Johan! Glad to know, that you are ok now, but be careful: that virus making some troubles after it's gone. I wish, you will have nothing like that in the future. The best combination is H and M together. Whyle H is more metal sound. Stay healthy and keep yourself safe! Siegfried

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks my friend. Yeah there are often a couple of backlashes

[@simonsimon9593]

Great video Johan! I love your channel. What combination would you recommend for Blackback's 55Hz? Maybe you will make a similar video? It'd be great! Rock on!!!

[@coryharris8417]

This is so timely for me. I've had a 2x12 loaded with a modern G12M Heritage and a G12H30 55hz heritage for about a year and really like it. I came up with another pair of G12H30 55 hz and a pair of G12H30 75hz, put them all in a 4x12 and like it less. Now I need to try the G12M with each of the 75hz and the 55Hz in the 4x12. I guess I can find out if the 75hz cones offer something better than the 55hz cones.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Glad to hear that. G12M25 55Hz is a bit to close to the G12H i think

[@yobaby14]

Are your G12H30 75hz the Heritage models or the Anniversary models?

[@cpk313]

That is what I have in a 2x12; one G12H 75Hz Heritage and a newer UK made G12M 25w, it has a sensitivity of 98db which works better then the 96db sensitive G12M heritage.

[@j.thorgard]

The more modern metal riff (2:54, 5:39) sounded better on the G12H but the G12M sound better on more classic rock riffs (5:10, 6:24). Perhaps it's just my ears are accustomed to certain tones for certain styles. or is it that modern riff are more low end focused?

[@JohanSegeborn]

Yeah, I think the modern riffs need the low end

@@JohanSegeborn I had picked up a beautiful 412 B (birch) and a pair of G12H. The H are harder to find and are going to be a bit pricey. I had been wondering if pairing with G12M would be a mistake or a good Idea. So I decided not to rush, and here you show up like the Knight that you are and make a Video on my exact situation.

[@thejimmymeister]

There were a few riffs where I preferred the M to the H, but I think the H sounded better than the M alone for most of what you played. Both together always sounded better than either one alone though, no matter what the riff!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks James!

[@stefftrim]

Hey Johan. Thanks for the demonstration. It's kind of possible for me to compare your sound in this video to mine. I have a cab equipped with G12M75, T1221 '73 greenbacks and G12H75, T1217 greybacks with R/I cone, January 74 and a Marshall Haze amp. Somehow it also gives a different, more rich feedback from the unpotted pickups in my R8; I bet you have tried it, though it's not a part of the recording. I clearly hear a difference in my cab with 4 x G12M to the other. I know, we both know the R/C cone is different from Pulsonic cones and that adds to the equation too. It's would even become a more rich experience if you visit your friend Pleximaster and connect the cab to a JTM45 with a GZ34; maybe a theme for future reference. Ha' det bra, Johan

[@nevadastefanoagnelli8245]

thanks for the video! Do you recommend placing the cones obliquely or, as you did, the two G12m above and the two G12h below?

[@jacob_miller]

Really interesting, and sweet sweet riffage as always 😎🤘. If you were choosing something to match the G12M25, would it be the G12H30, Marshall G12 Vintage, or Vintage 30?

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! I think all 3 would work well with G12-25

[@jacob_miller]

@@JohanSegeborn that’s such a safe reply! 😂 On a desert island (with power), which would you choose? 😛

[@rk28984]

Without watching the video till the end I guess from my experiance that the Greenbacks will add some nice midrange and make it sound huge. G12H30 speakers love to be paired with speakers that push some mids.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Indeed

[@thenameless3271]

Wow they sound awesome combined! I don't really like the G12M on their own, the G12H are very nice even on their own

Aren't the mic's on the upper speakers closer to the edge of the cones than the bottom mics? Seems to me that would affect the tone of each.

Thanks Bengt! 😉 That’s indeed a good point. In a mix all bets are off

[@ianorourke6320]

They definitely work well together. In your opinion would the 55hz 12h30 be less harsh but possibly not cutting enough for the 4x12 combination?

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, the Hs are definitely less harsh in the combination but also potentially more cutting since both the punch of H and presence of M is available

[@TLofHTown]

Is that the original magnet cover on the 68 G12M?

[@JohanSegeborn]

Hi, no It isn’t

[@stefanpratsch1670]

I guess you put both Ms on top as the Hs are 2 dB louder. I used to have a cab with Hs and Ms in X-pattern and they were perfectly balanced. Probably due to the more prominent mids of the Ms they appeared as loud as the Hs. Great video btw...
