New Speaker Day - Celestion Redback

[ultimatemetalguitartones]

I love experimenting with different speakers - mics and cabs, so I've recently decided to give the Redback a go. This one goes into my Peavey 421 slanted cab which is loaded with 2 Mojotones BV30s (top) and 2 1290s (bottom). I swapped a 1290 and thought that if I like the Redback a lot I'd probably go for another one.
1st mic'd test here - 421 mic really close to the cab and bit off the center. Amp is my 2203 Marshall Folkesson modded with the metal switch
settings - master 1.2 / presence treble at 6 - gain at 7 - bass at 2 and mids at 8 (yeah the metal switch is scooped and the low end is crazy as f...)
I am playing my Mayones Duvell with the Abasi set - Excuse the crappy playing P

And this is a "in the room" phone clip which of course doesn't do justice

Redback is my favorite speaker for high gain. Nothing comes close

I had looked at some redbacks and some blackbirds for the Twin when I was speaker shopping. They seem pretty sweet but tbh I just wanna recone my K-120 and grab another cause nothing beats those in a cranked Twin. Then I'll have EV Forces+JBL's, oh yeah.

Dude, that's just vicious. It sounds like one of Conan's weapons.
