Are the G12H30 speakers reissues of the original prerola 30's that Marshall used in their early cabinets?

I have the prerolas in this clip:

 
I'm not sure, but are the ones you have the 75hz or 55hz version?

Correct. 55hz is a greenback reissue. Doesnt sound half as good as a pre-rola tho.

the Anniversary is kinda sharp and spiky. not my cup.

There is also a G12H Heritage 75hz reissue.

Avatar's relic'd 75 hz are called the Hellatone 30 and are just broken in G12H30 70th Annys. They do sell the G12H Heritage 55hz and 75 hz at a good price.

What does Cameron use in their cabinets?


They use the G12H30 70th Annys.
That is what I use in my cabs as well. Love them...

I like mine too in the Cameron 4X12, but might mix it up with a pair of British Classic Lead 80s.

I have the prerolas in this clip:

Although the marketing may say so, the original blackback 30's I have in a cab sound pretty different then the g1230 70th Annie's I have. I prefer the originals as they aren't as harsh. The 70ths are nice sounding but can sound overly bright or harsh depending on what amp you are using, but they cut through extremely well.

Yes, they can get overly bright and harsh with certain amps, cabs and guitars/pickup combos. They work well in the Cameron 4X12 cabs though. I have a Marshall BHW with G12H Heritage 55s and while they do have a bright top end, it is not as harsh as the G12H30 70th Anny's. I would like to try the G12H Heritage 75s one day.

I would recommend Scumback H series for something close to the pre-Rolas or the BH (Blackback H) series.

I wonder how different they would sound if both were the same age with the same wear?

I am sure that the 70th Annys would be just fine if they were that aged/used since the early to mid 70's.
 
So since I have the original speakers in my cab,maybe I don't need the anniversarys.
:confused:

Good point but I still think the 70th anniv are a brighter speaker no doubt. I have owned them since they came out. Just depends on what amp and setup, they are great for cutting through.
