What Amp Do You Use The Most

Beate.1.jpg


Mywatt 200 (a clone of the Hiwatt DR201) on two 115 cabs equipped with Overtone 15L400 speakers. Alternatively a 212cab with two Eminence Delta 12.

The smaller amps only occasionally. And two oher large amps currently in maintenance.

(practising at home through the mixer with headphones).
 
What do you think about Neo magnet creamback speakers?
I spoke with a Celestion rep about these not long after they came out. I was hip deep in a lighter cab discussion and search for answers on the Amp Garage forum at the time. Ideas like acoustic guitar style bracing on 1/4" panels and other such foolishness.

The rep told me - they only had one model out at that time - that the jazz guys loved them but the hard rock guys were underwhelmed. Distortion produced some - going on a convo 12+ years ago - harsh artifacts and he didn't recommend them for hard rock.

The PPC212 is the only Cab that I bought new. It has chinese V30s, and some Corksniffers frown upon them. I don't care, I like the Cab as it is. The top Cabinet is much older, it is a stock JCM800 1960A with first generation G12T75s. Some hate these too, but to my ears they sound great.

Another favourite is my JTM45.

It sits on a JCM900 Cab, but inside are 4 nice Greenbacks from the late 80s- the first reissues.

I know I'm spoiled, because I can crank my Amps if I want to. :strat:
 
What do you think about Neo magnet creamback speakers? I think it's 5W less than ceramic magnet ones.They weight nothing.

I guess it depends what volume you play at? I find mine quite fine in my Mesa Mk V 35. But I don't get to play at high volumes. I'm not too discerning, they sound quite similar to the regular Creamback 65 to my ears. I like it!
 
I’m still messing with speakers for the Jubilee. I’ve tried two G12H-30 Anniversary speakers, a Green back and a Mesa C90 (big wattage mismatch), a Greenback and a G12-H30 Anniversary. I didn’t like any of these speaker combinations in this cab. Those were all 8 ohm speakers running at 16 ohms.

To my surprise, I only had one 16 ohm speaker stashed away in the music room closet. That speaker is a Scumback M75. The lone Scumback speaker sounds better than all of the other pairs of speakers that I’ve tried.

So I ordered a used 16 ohm Creamback to go with the Scumback speaker. I’m hoping that this combination works well.
Both of these are some of my favorite speakers with a Marshall.

I think that should work fine IMO. The original Jubilee combos came with the G12 Vintage Marshall labelled speakers, they are a perfect Jubilee fit.
