Whats everyones take on the Lynchbacks? Currently running vintage 30s in my 2x12 with a dsl100 and looking for something different/less harsh with that amp.
 
From the clips iv heard they seem to have less highs and high mids than the v30. How do they compare in person?
 
I have them mixed with V30's in my Mesa 4x12. Basically 50 watt Greenbacks.
 
I've considered replacing my evh's with these, any thoughts? (4x12 evh, removed 2, replaced with chinese v30)

i'd go scumbacks from that list. I have some 65's and they are cool but the scumbacks I played sounded better with my EVH head

Are your V30s English or Chinese? I don't know what comes in your amp, but there is a difference between the two (I learned this not long ago on this forum) I have the Chinese, and am thinking about the scumback m75s (thanks sytharnia 1560) and will place an order soon. I know different amps, different tones, (BE100, DSL100) but if you don't pull the trigger soon, I can let you know how mine sound.
 
Im pretty sure mine are the Chinese ones. Let me know how the Scumbacks work out. Everyone seems to like those a lot.
 
Thanks thegame, I've seen that video before, but not with guitar tracks alone.. cool. FLYINRYAN11, I went to Scumback website and listened to the m75 tracks, and am kinda torn now between the lynch and the m75 myself.. :doh: of course different amps, mics etc.. make a difference, the Lynch seems to be smoother compared to the m75, the m75 seems to have more crunch to it...

Here ya' go:


 
I gig with M75s, but after hearing the new Celestion Alnico Cremes, I plan to go in that direction.

Tell us more about the Alnico Creams please. Do they work well in closed back cabs & w/higher gain ?

That's exactly why they appeal to me so much...unlike blues or golds, they smooth up under gain, sound great in a closed back cab, and can handle high power amps. It's probably fair to say that they're the best new speaker that I've ever heard.

Agreed. My take is 50 watt Greenbacks with the low end similar to the V30. I've used my Lynchbacks mixed with V30s and had good results. Currently my Egnater 4x12 is loaded with only Lynchbacks, and sounds great with my DSL100H.
 
I put a pair of Lynchbacks in my 2x12 about two months ago. They replaced a pair of Chinese V30's. I'm still on the fence with them. They're much darker than I expected. They don't sound like Greenbacks to me. They're more modern sounding. Smoother and less crunchy than Greenbacks (I'm referring to the GB reissues). They've got a huge bottom end, relaxed mids (not scooped), and a very dark top end. Last time I played them in a band setting I had to crank up my treble and presence to cut through like the V30's did. They sound good, just much darker in person than I thought they'd be. Honestly, if they were a tad brighter I'd love them. They're good speakers, don't get me wrong. I'm just so used to V30's at this point, I don't know if I'd like anything else over them, especially in a band setting. Also, keep in mind that Lynchbacks only come in 8 ohms. Hope this helps.
