Celestion 65watt Creamback, UK Made 25watt Greenback Compare

[RjsAmps]

Hello All,

I am new here. Thought I'd share a audio comparison clip a did last year after purchasing the new Celestion 65 watt creambacks.

I audio comparison of a UK made Celestion 25 watt greenbacks vs the new 65 watt creamback speakers. Close mic'd using a Shure Beta 58 on the outside edge of the voice coil. Speakers are loaded in old marshall cabs. Amp being used is a RJS 68-100 Plexi style amp (EVH Mod)

Yes, nothing changed on each clip. other than swapping cabs. mic placement stayed the same as well.

The 65 watt creamback is awesome in the friedman 1x12 open back cabs!

They sound very different to me. The Creamback sounded fuller, and more clear. I wonder how a heritage or EVH greenback compare to the Creamback

congrats on the new venture bobby... can you tell us a little about the mods you offer? the evh and the 34?

I thought they both sounded good,with the 65 just a little tighter maybe ? I will have to eventually try both of these speakers,but nice sounding video..and I like Longmont ! I worked at the Meadow Gold Dairy milk plant there about 10 years ago welding all new pipes in the plant,but Longmont is a great place to have fun with a very lively crowd up there! Welcome to Rig Talk!

Anyone compare the 65W Creamback with the classic G12-65's from Celestion. I've used a couple of old Marshall 4x12s that came stock with those speakers for everything since the 1980s. I love them. They used to be my little secret, but it appears they became "vintage/collectible" at some point so now they're expensive. I'm curious about modern versions of speakers that compare.
