[fearhk213]

I'm curious if any of you all have played any of the 5150iii amps through some Celestion G12-65's? What were you all's thoughts?

Yep. Sounds killer. I liked greenbacks best but the 65s I owned at the time (1979 1960a Marshall) sounded great too.

Right on. I have a cab with greenback reissues and agree it sounds great through those. There have been some clips of 65’s lately causing some gas for those lol.

I've got all 3 50 watt models and a 65 loaded cab. I can make you a clip or two on the next couple days.

That would be awesome . I have the 6L6 stealth.
Your clips were some that have rekindled the 65 gas

Yep good combo. I've got to say the early version G12T-75's also sound great, and very similar to the 65's. Celestion radically changed the voicing on the T sometime maybe early 90's to the sound we all know and hate, now that all get lumped in together.

They can be found super cheap too.

I made a quick clip some days ago - Dry cab is Engl with G12-65, wet are V30 cabs. I think the G12 65w goes well withe EVH 50W head, also they blend nice with other speakers.

thanks !

My experience as well, and I play my 5150III 50W (6L6) live through a 2x12 with a G12-65 and a Mesa V30.
G12-65 shines with the EVH, since it tames some of the strident highs.
Same for Greenbacks, but you need either the H30's in a 2x12, or the M25's in a 4x12 to offer up similar low-end, since the G12-65 by itself sounds huge already and definitely bigger than a Greenback by itself.
