Celestion's Creamback speakers are amongst the most popular speakers that we use in our cabs, but they tend not to be used mixed together. In this H creamback vs Neo Creamback shootout video we demonstrate how they sound together in a variety of different styles and amps.
To do this we recorded both speakers in an identical 1x12 setup, same mics, mic placements, amps and settings by re-amping the same scenario through several different styles.
We love to hear your thoughts on anything speaker related, if you've used this pair before or the individual speakers, or if you have any suggestions please get in touch.

Please forgive the lack of audio at the start.

I was like wtf??

@Myself6M Год назад

The creambacks are some of the best speakers Celestion ever made imho. It's interesting how much the Neo sounds in between the H and the M, but closer to the H, I believe. Also the Neo is probably the most Greenback sounding of the three, as it has this pulsonic nasal quality. Thanks for the video!

@padgreen 3 года назад

I'm quite intrigued by the Neo, I think it had a tad more high end sparkle compared to the H which sounded a bit more focused. I see from this month's Guitarist mag, that Fender have used one in their new 68 Custom Pro Reverb amp: the Guitarist review says they really like the Neo and described it as blending the low end thump of 60s Greenbacks with the complex treble of an Alnico Gold. Interesting!

@ZillaCabs 3 года назад

That's really cool. I would say normally the H cream has a bit more top end than the neo but the neo's top end is really nice, plenty going on but nto too bright if that makes sense. Was it Jamie Dickson that did the review? I know he loves a gold.

@padgreen 3 года назад

Review was by Nick Guppy! Cheers!

Interesting fact, the NEO Creamback can take a G12-H or M recone kit. I bought a blown NEO Creamback from Ebay and for some reason Celestion told me they discontinued the rebuild kit.. They suggested the M or H Greenback I think I bought the M and it worked and sounds killer.. Now The question that never was answered by Celestion is did this change the Wattage handling of the speaker from 60watt to 25watt? Sounds fantastic in my Hand built 65 Deluxe Reverb.

@Eggy-bp6pj 3 года назад

Loving the focus on creambacks!!! One of the the best most underrated speakers around. All versions of the creamback are incredible. Its great to see them finally get some love and appreciation! The speaker I've been interested in recently though is the neo V-type. Not many sound clips or comparisons of that one at all.

@ZillaCabs 3 года назад

Thanks for that, that is really cool. The neo v type is really cool, and Im not a big fan of the normal V type. We should have a couple of videos coming out soon on that one.

@TVoltG 3 года назад

Love my Creambacks 75's.. They are best of all speaker worlds in one. I recently paired two with two Greenbacks and they play great together. But by themselves they are great.

@mhoff7722 4 месяца назад

They compliment each well in the mix. Cleans they are very close to me. Add the gain and the Neo just is to crispy (some would say fizzy) and lacks body for me.

@jonathangus6702 3 года назад

Have you tried the new Neo V-type yet? Really interested to see how it compares with the Neo Creamback.

@ZillaCabs 3 года назад

Yeah its really cool and I'm not normally a big fan of the Vtype, its just not my thing (although I do appreciate it). We will have a few videos coming out on the neo vtype in the next month or so.

@jonathangus6702 3 года назад

Looking forward to it!

@sorenahlback 3 года назад

From what I’ve heard so far I think Neo is what I’m looking for to my Katana 50. I really like the at clear and focused sound without a lot of muddy base.

Man, I was hoping I wouldn't notice the difference from the Neo to the H. It ain't much but it's there. Thing of putting the H in my Vox AC4C1-12. Guess I'm moving a transformer too...

@ZillaCabs Год назад

Will the H fit in there alright?

@njv1805 Год назад

@@ZillaCabs from what I understand there's just enough room for it to fit. Have to slide the transformer over.

@jjschulz3472 Год назад

the neo looks good on paper. kind of bright and harsh in comparison.

@Red.be89 3 года назад

Could you do a comparison of alnicoblue&greenback vs alnicocream&cream back? I feel like I want the former but the extra wattage handling of the 2nd might come in useful and it seems they're the higher wattage versions of those speakers?

@ZillaCabs 3 года назад

Great idea Jake, they are two mixes that I love. Next time we are shooting videos I'll do my best to get that done.

@philhood4604 2 года назад

In my Runt 50 1 X12 combo, not sure a few pounds less is a real save to my back. In a 2 x 12 or 4 x12 definitely

@puffin_time 2 года назад

The neo sounds great in my Blackstar 1x12, seems to like the small cab

@creamygoodness3018 9 месяцев назад

The Neo seemed a little more ringy in the mids, the CB75 seemed and little tighter int he lows and highs. On the more distorted tones, the Neo seemed to lose its focus a little … likely due to the slightly lower wattage handling. *it would help greatly if the same riffs were played on each speaker*

@leosun8469 2 года назад

That Neo starts to sound more like a V30 as more distortion is added.

@nicholastotoro7721 3 года назад

The Neo Creamback seems to have a lot of the V30's tendencies, just tamed a smidge. The H really seems like it would be great on its own or with a mix.

@OfRiffAndMan 2 года назад

Exactly my thoughts!

@dodjiegarcia2320 6 месяцев назад

@mhoff7722 4 месяца назад

@Dirge4july 3 года назад

I hear no difference until we get to the distorted parts.

@jacobseal 2 года назад

That neo creamback sounds awful. All fizz and no mids.

@ZillaCabs Год назад

Really? It's not known for being a fizzy speaker.

@jacobseal Год назад

@@ZillaCabs to me it doesn't sound good. The H is way better. I was just about to buy the neo cream when I thought I would check a couple of videos about it. Glad I didnt buy it already. Gonna try the vtype instead.

@FourT6and22 Год назад

@@ZillaCabs Yeah in this video, the Neo is incredibly fizzy. There's a prominent sizzle/static riding on top of the sound it produces. The H sounds light years better to me.

@AngryMuffinMusic 9 месяцев назад

@@ZillaCabs I think it is known for that actually. And to me, its fizzy and hyped in pretty much every clip i've heard. No low mids richness, nasally treble and fizz...like a v30 honk but softer, more gentle. I think it can work with certain amps that need that profile though.

@ZillaCabs 9 месяцев назад

@@AngryMuffinMusic I don't really pay much attention what speakers are known for, just what they sound like to me and our customers. I've never heard that description of the speaker before and I've never seen it as a fizzy speaker, and I've used it on probably a few hundred recordings. You have to remember when it comes to speakers, everyone has different tastes and hears speakers differently. I much rather read comments like yours with some context than the first comment with no subjectivity.
