G12M-25 Greenback 16 Ohm : Great, classic-sounding guitar speaker

13 years ago

I was looking for a speaker to complement a Celestion G12H30 (which has great highs and lows, but is a little lacking in the midrange), and a friend suggested I tried a Greenback. This is in a rig with a Egnater Tweaker head and a pair of 1x12 cabinets. Well, my friend was right - the Greenback on its own is a very traditional sounding speaker, not amazingly versatile, but very warm and middly. The combination of the two speakers gave me the perfect crisp and full-bodied guitar tone I was looking for. The only thing I would say is that as it's only a 25-watt speaker, you need to be careful which amp you use it with. With a 15 watt amp, it's ideal, but for more power handling, I'd look seriously at the Creamback 65, which sounds very similar but with a higher output.
