Surprised how much I like that Jensen. It's got a vibe ... hard to describe in words ... just sounds beautiful. Great video.

@RideAcrossTheRiver 6 месяцев назад

Very Hendrix with a bit of Snoopy "Joe Cool".

@CraigFlowersMusic Год назад

Jensen hands down. Sweetest cleans by a mile. Dirty I could go for any of them eckspecially the v30 but still favor the Jensen most for dirty too. The hempback was surprisingly good. Still I can't believe how much more I liked the Jensen than anything else. WAY more.

@clearcoat Год назад

I agree, but I bet a Jensen P10R-F would sound even better. I tried a bunch of speakers in a Brownface Princeton, including a C12N and the P10R-F (with a baffle adapter) was the winner for me. Less massive low end and sweeter overall. Sounds great at low volume too.

@jaredlowry3547 Год назад

Speakers make more difference than actual amps, IMO. 3 different amps going through the same cab sounds more similar to me than 1 amp going through 3 different cabs.

@AnimalJohn85 Год назад

The creambacks are still my favourite, lovely sounding things and just get better with every vid I see.

@slidecatch Год назад

I liked the Jensen the most. It seemed the most versatile. Then again with my hearing loss I may not be picking up the treble issue. The Vintage 30 would be my favorite among the Celestions. Thanks for the video!

@themomentkiller9167 Год назад

I’ve had a Princeton with a Jensen ck12 in it for two years now. The first year I spent scratching my head thinking it could be better and spending far too much time researching this rabbit hole. In the the end, I couldn’t make a decision so I kept it. People have commented on how good it sounds and besides, if I get a new speaker, I have to wait until it’s worn in until I can properly compare the two and by then I can’t remember how the original sounded and sod it. The original is more than good enough!

@jhon5235 Год назад

In my opinion, it's what matters the most, specially old speakers

@j.r.g3548 Год назад

only because they're broken in. Almost every speaker manufacturer accounts for that in new speakers today. The "old speakers are better" myth hasn't been a thing since the 90s.

@otaviosmartins1 Год назад

Agreed

@BarefacedAudio Год назад

@@j.r.g3548 break-in is an interesting thing with guitar speakers - I’m thinking we should get three identical drivers, test them briefly to make sure they do sound identical, and then put one through a normal break-in process (so the surround is loosened up like on a speaker that’s a few gigs old) and put another through a much more intense process to simulate an old speaker, and then compare the three. I’m v curious!

@JimijaymesProductions Год назад

@@j.r.g3548 Better is subjective, but hell they are different. A lot of it is wear, some of it is inconsistency just take the v30 its not even that old and so many of them sound different. All the different cone manufacturers made a huge difference.

@vincentl.9469 Год назад

@@jvannatt the worst thing is when they place tubes too close to a speaker magnet. No good for either. Also with modelling amps, I think it might be best to stick with stock speakers ?

@steveeckert8396 Год назад

@vincentl.9469 Год назад

@@steveeckert8396 I think quite often the differences are very slight

@picksalot1 Год назад

Speakers make a big difference, as do the Mics and their location. The Amp (head), Guitar, Wood, Pickups, Pots, Caps, etc. make less difference. In a Modeler, swapping Speakers and Mics makes it easy to find the sound that makes the rest of the gear in the signal chain sound good.

@FabrizioCalderara76 Год назад

I have two V30 and two A-Type in the 4x12 Redseven cab that I primarily use; the A-Type are so good, both in clean and overdrive, they fit very well in the mix and they complete the lacks of the V30's. I love them!

@bison962 Год назад

The jensen speaker is just perfect for these applications. Classic lead and v30 are also cool

@@bradc32 i use jensen and celestion, and some other brands and i have 1 eminence for special reason. All i can say, the celestions are more of the one-trick-pony than the jensen, my most flexible speakers are the fender special design (no eminence, must be some chinese cheapies.)

@tmusik7 Год назад

I watched the video where you swapped out the speaker in the Katana as I was looking to change speakers in one of my practice amps. I was leaning towards the Celestion Creamback 12", but after your video I ordered the Boss Katana 100 watt MK 2. I love it! Thank you. You've also convinced me to get the Tone City "Sweet Cream". Also a great choice. Thanks again.

@LNROKR55 Год назад

Thanks for a great vid guys, it brought back memories of me and a great bud of mine back in the stone age, well actually it was 1972 and we were listening to the lead player for Sparks playing a black Les Paul Custom through a Marshall Head and slant cab and we both decided at that moment that we were listening to the ultimate in Rock N Roll. Love that creamback sound, always have . Great stuff guys !

@caileanhunt8679 Год назад

Great comparison video chaps. I really liked the Jensen it's tough to beat for Fender clean tones.

@raydowley1038 Год назад

if the Greenback is a tight fit the plastic magnet cover is only for cosmetic reasons and can be removed with some effort it's held on with some very good double-sided tape. I had this problem on the Marshall Bassbreaker 15w amp got in touch with celestion and they gave me the ok to remove the plastic cover.

@ArvidNielsen Год назад

All the variation. I love it! Of course, close mic makes the differences so clear, and that’s generally, how we hear guitar sounds.

@JacarandaMusic Год назад

Gosh well done for using loops, it really helps the comparison, though I know some folks don’t like the repetitive nature of the thing - which is the point! And well done for the direct back-to-back too.

@jonbourn473 Год назад

I thought the Jenson by itself sounded the best of all. But I think Pete is right, the Celestions are better for band settings because of the midrange. I liked the creamback for cleans and V30 for distortion. I prefer v30s overall. Great vid as usual.

@adamwatson6916 10 месяцев назад

V30s paired with Creamback M65s is the best drive tone ever.

@jano3289 10 месяцев назад

Depends what kind of band it is. Are you playing in a lour rockband yes. Are you playing in a jazztrio I'd get the jensen.

@christophersmart8067 Год назад

Awesome comparison guys!! All the Celestion had their own flavor but honestly the Jensen is just a flavor you can love and work with forever. It just sounds right and can be eq’d to work in any mix. Jensen is like the ns-10 in studio flat and translates

@ulfdanielsen6009 Год назад

NS-10s are anything but flat but have a distinct mid range hump,- like a treble booster for speakers,- that´s why they are good for producing vocals,- but don´t ever do the final mix on them.

@ignacioibanez6138 Год назад

They also have the NS-10 sterile sound indeed, those speakers sound horrible for listen music, but are meant to be for mix and mastering, but guitar land is another story, I would never put a guitar neither instruments on the yamahas

@matthewhaddad9828 7 месяцев назад

this was a great demo guys really liked the way you did this

@Tuning_Spork Год назад

The Celestion Vintage 30 stood out to me on all loops. I'll take two. ✌😃

@waitin4winter Год назад

2 decades ago I had the Line 6 red bean. I noticed that the speaker/cab options made more of a difference on the tone than did the amp selections. I.e. amp A and amp B sounded more alike with the same cab selection while the same amp with different speaker/cab sims sounded way different. I asked around about it, but at that time a lot of people weren’t really hip to it. Now we know better.

@AdamGotheridge Год назад

Excellent and really well done. imho, the mic and preamp (any) really put a sound contour of their own to the overall sound making the speakers sound more the same than they really are. This is why you thoughts on anything you demo is so valuable, because the recordings, as scientific as you can be, only tell part of the story. Again, very well done.

@ScrambleBandOfficial Год назад

The Celestion Alnico Gold in my Orange TH30 sounds killer.

@ladyjulia4038 Год назад

I think I like the Cream back the best on both low and low gain. Thanks for the video guys. Keep killing it!

@RatzaChewy Год назад

Creamback all the way for me. Chiming cleans and clear overdrive. I can see why the V30 is so popular for hard-rock and metal though, there's a bite to the upper-mids when dirty that would cut through really well in a mix or on stage.

@franktriggs Год назад

I wish Peavey sold their speakers separately. Years ago, I had a Peavey Classic 2x12 with 2x 35 watt Scorpion speakers. When I plugged my 100 watt Marshall into the Peavey speakers it transformed the tone for the better, compared to the greenbacks I had. Sweeter top end, tighter bottom end, midrange had lovely vocal quality. Got a really sweet high harmonic bleed through on bends. Gorgeous.

@paulthebeardedonedowning6820 Год назад

@CrazyCalabrese78 Год назад

Thanks for the impeccably run comparison video guys. Looper and same amp was perfect. Feels like those celestion lead type speakers would sit beautifully in a mix/band situation. I have recently been running my tweed Jensen version with bass and mids down near 0 so it doesn’t fart out with humbuckers. Sounds good to me but I need to try some OD pedals now. It can sound spikey and harsh once you push it (and not great with drive pedals).

@DreidMusicalX Год назад

Yup they really do! I put a V30 Anniversary Edition and e Creamback H in my 2x12 Marshall Cabinet. They're now both broken in and they sound fantastic!

@Tomtamo1 Год назад

My two go to speakers for Fender, Marshall or Vox are Greenbacks and/or V-Types. They just work for me, especially when blended.

@jefffree6990 Год назад

Excellent comparison video - about as good as it gets! As far as these are concerned i also liked the Creamback. For my Blues Junior IV (also tweed) I use an external 1x12 cab with the Celestion Alnico Blue , but as mentioned its not a good fit. But it was worth it in every way. Plus, for studio use its more versatile to have it that way.

@elkhanagaev4172 Год назад

Always fun to watch you guys, nice video. Would like to see Greenback in comparison, one of my favorite and iconic.

@cortmiller Год назад

I have been putting celestion speakers in my fender amps for years. I have always thought they were a match made in heaven. I’m a big fan of the G12H30 especially in the 55hz variety in them

@GCKelloch 11 месяцев назад

The G12H30-55Hz has a very strong peak right in the most harsh 3-3.5kHz range. The Weber Ceramic 1230-55 with the cloth surround is considerably less harsh, but still has an open high end. You can choose the power and some other options. I think the 100W has an Aluminum voice coil that makes it sound like the 30W. It's a very flat speaker out to 5.5kHz, and rolls off gently from there. The wider voice coil Weber California is also a great Fender amp speaker with tight deep bass, fast mids, and just a little more in the harsh range. Both also come in expensive AlNiCo versions. I'd go with AlNiCo for the California. You might prefer the Ceramic1230-55. It's really nice.

@pmsphoto Год назад

Cheers Cap 'n' Pete for this great video ! The direct loop comparison works brilliantly. I'm not a professional guitarist, but chose the Fender Blues Junior tweed with the Jensen C-12N speaker twenty years ago just as a home amp. I have some lovely guitars and they all sound great with the FBJ and C-12N. Yes, I can hear the difference with all the Celestions, but have concluded it's my fingers which need the upgrade and some more dedicated practice. Will put myself on the waiting list for a Strymon 'Cloudburst' which will be good enough to cover up my fretboard fumblings ! 😄

@gearngigs Год назад

Very informative video ... thanks for the comparison guys! The ironic thing is that we are all listening to this speaker comparison on different speakers.😂

@BarefacedAudio Год назад

One thing I will say for iPhone speakers (and many other small phone/tablet/laptop speakers) is that if listened to at lower levels they’re actually remarkably consistent and revealing in the midrange. The lows are hopeless and the highs are hit and miss but where most of your guitar tone is, these silly little speakers are actually pretty honest!

@Saul_HUDSON Год назад

Fantastic job guys !

Celestion Cream back!! Those are in the Fender Tone Master Blond Deluxe and I have really liked that speaker. (Warm with mid/bass tone). Its completely different than the Eminence Tone King 33 in my Tone King which I also love as well for different reasons (brighter and cleaner).

@tonepoet Год назад

This! I did a Fromel mod on a Fender HRD and the Celestion Creamback and it is just incredible. I get warmer, thicker, and rounder vibe out of a noiseless pickup Tele than my buddy does with a PRS and stock Fender amp.

@hawedehre Год назад

In the Tone Master there is probably the Creamback Neo in it. I have both, one Marshall flavoured in my Astoria cab and I put the Neo version into the bass breaker cabinet. I am pleased with both of them.

@lazvt8469 Год назад

Funny...I got a TK Imperial last week...yesterday I replaced the Em33 speaker with the CreamBack M65 because my son's Hamstead uses it and it sounds amazing. Well, it also warmed and broadened the tone on my TK... I love it!

@4vinylsound Год назад

When I 1st purchased my Fender twin reverb amp with Jensen speakers I hated the sound it was terrible and ear piercing. I then swapped out the Jensen speaker for a celestian V30 and it sounds amazing the best amp I've ever heard better than my Marshall's and my hiwatt.

@recordatron Год назад

I've discovered recently that speakers are arguably the part of your setup which will make the most significant difference to your sound. More so than pickups, like for like different guitars or even pedals. They're not the sexiest or even visible part of the rig though so I think people tend to overlook them in favour of other products.

@garrysimmons111 Год назад

I swapped the V30 in my Carvin V3 combo amp to a Cannabis Rex to tame the sizzle/fizz. Transducers (pickups, speakers, mics) have a HUGE effect on tone. They could have had similar results swapping out the mics or even just changing mic position. It's great fun experimenting with this stuff using amp sim software and/or modelers. It was interesting that the gained up tones showed more differences between speakers than the clean sounds.

@GWRFan281 Год назад

To my ears, the Creamback and Vintage 30 were the best 'all rounders'. They seemed to offer a balanced sound across all three sound clips. The Jensen was great right across the board. The Hempback was ok but didn't wow me and my least favourite was the Lead 80.

@diegobonaparte86 6 месяцев назад

Totally agree with your call, I thought the Creamback and the V30 sounded more open, less compressed... I could argue the call on the Hempback- I might rate it higher up on the list (probably 4th)- but, other than that, I share your views. I was surprised at some of Pete's & Lee's comments at the end, since I did not hear some of the things they said- most probably owing to RU-vid compression? I am listening through my stereo (Arcam 5.1, KEF speakers) so some of their final comments on tonality surprised me a bit, especially regarding the similarities between the Jensen & the V30- so I had to backtrack and listen to again a few times, finding the Jensen sounded a bit more compressed. It could also come down to personal preferences, I guess.

@tgvettes Год назад

The Creamback is definitely my favorite the way it sounds thru my computer. Suggestion would be to do this with a British style amp.

Thank you for this informative video. As all the comments show, the choice of a speaker is a very personal decision. I would like to add another factor: One and the same speaker will sound different in a different enclosure - which makes the choice even more difficult.

Purchased a Hotrod deluxe IV a few years back loaded with a A-Type. Was really impressed by the speaker. Ran my other amps through it to see if it was just the Hotrod in general but they all sounded better through the A-Type. Non harsh highs, tight low end and loud.

@anthonydallarosa8314 Год назад

Yeah I got an A type years ago. Great little speaker!

@beaumowery5610 Год назад

I found that a g12 65 creamback helped my hotrod deluxe especially with distorted tones to use as a pedal platform but it was an early 2000s model so it didnt have the A type which mightve been enough

@doogieball2464 Год назад

I put an A-Type into a Traynor YCV-40 (which from what I've read is a HRD copy) and there was a huge improvement. Highs were tamed down and low end tighter than compared what was stock.

@michelvondenhoff9673 Год назад

Good comments from Pete about the live situation (low mids highs).

@Alexander-iq5yq Год назад

I liked the stock Jensen overall the most, particularly for clean.

@noonsound4894 Год назад

I was also going to comment on how well it did. It's a good sound overall I thought. As you say particularly for that nice Fender clean sound.

@dancrowe7860 Год назад

Yes! The Jensen sounds like what a small combo should do. I was surprised, though, at how close the Classic Lead 80 got to the clean sound. I think the Celestions had more clarity, but I preferred the "low-fi" of the Jensen better.

@jsauce311 Год назад

The cleans are great but they can't handle any overdrive. Had to trade my Princeton out for a special edition with a creamback to stabalize things. Made a huge difference

@CrazyCalabrese78 Год назад

@@jsauce311 am thinking I may need to try a creamback in my blues junior. Beautiful cleans but not great with overdrive (from the amp or pedals). Which version are you using in your new Princeton?

@mikethadeeter 4 месяца назад

It’s almost like fender did some experimentation on what speaker sounded the best.

@nuketownbass8153 Год назад

I knew the answer, but I still enjoy watching you guys. 👍

@13thdukeofwybourne Год назад

Really useful video chaps. Wow what a difference they all make. Maybe we don’t all need two amps, just one amp out to two cabs with different speakers.👍

Whenever the Jensen comes on I'm like, "yup, that's it"...Surprised how much I like it.

@gcvrsa Год назад

This is the first time I've ever heard a Hempback, and what I'm hearing is very impressive. I'm going to have to look into this one more.

@geoffdillon6013 Год назад

I love my vintage 30’s in my 1998 Trace Elliot Supertramp Twin Reverb. Obviously they are 25 years old and they are British made not Chinese (that seems to matter to some people). I just love the mid drive they have while playing live and recording. You just can’t beat them, in my opinion. You do say Celestion V30 are what they are known for, but have only been around since the 80’s. Made for the higher gain scene that was evolving. They have been making speakers a lot longer then that. Great video and reinforced to me that celestion make the best speakers.

@nellayema2455 Год назад

I'm surprised that you're willing to do a speaker comparison after the grueling one you did last year! Glad you did.

@pharmerdavid1432 Год назад

I'm late to this show, but for me the best Celestion speaker is the G12H30Anniversary (longest name too) - in most amps its my jam!

@bjrnjeppesen2805 Год назад

Brilliant format with the loops and the back to back comparison. Excellent!! Now you just have to do it like this with a lot more speakers! 😅

@grahamtinkler4562 Год назад

If my new amp had the Jenson I would be quite happy. Least favourite was the A-Type, I'm thinking the Hemp sounded a little compressed but would probably be the best of all after a few hours use.

@wastl10 Год назад

All the celestions sound to me like taking a blanket off the cabinet, very nice 👍

@patrickcarroll1754 Год назад

These also never get old.

@jaco_h5013 Год назад

Acquired 20 + years ago a pair of celestion g12h pre rola speakers (the hendrix one) taken from a 4x12 cab where the other 2 where damaged for £25 each and made a 2 x 12 cab half open back and they sounded absolutley amazing with a marshall dsl can't believe how ridiculous prices have recently gone to though killer speakers though 👍

@SOADGOD Год назад

Yes as @SpectreSoundStudios has taught us. Speakers make the MAIN difference in your tone more than anything else.

@zhiracs Год назад

Especially once you start saturating the signal. Clean, though, the differences are much more subtle and what is contributing to the tone seems to be more evenly spread out up and down the line. To be fair, Glen's channel is metal-centric so cleans aren't a concern for him.

@steveeckert8396 Год назад

Great video thanks for all the work. The Katana video came out right after I bought the amp. I watched that one and now this one. To the "casual" listener (non musicians, what they sound like in a mix, what your amp sounds like after playing it for over 10 hours) Celestions pretty much sound the same and you will get closer, when you EQ them a tad. What I would like to see is a Jensen, Celestion, JBL.... other speaker mfg comparison. Are they all pretty much the same like a Gibson, SD, Dimarzio.....vintage PAF pickup??

@BarefacedAudio Год назад

You can’t actually do as much as you might think with EQ because EQ only changes the steady state frequency response - it can’t change the harmonic distortion, transient or dynamic response, or polar response. In the studio or miced on stage you can do a lot with mic, mic position and the rest of the signal chain but if you’re hearing the speaker in the room with a band you’re tied much more closely to what the speaker really sounds like.

@jameswhite1450 Год назад

That was a awesome video when you guys rotated speakers in the Katana .

@bumblefritz Год назад

I use a Creamback in my Marshall aand I love it so maybe I'm biased but that was my favorite. Next was the Vintage 30 or the Type-A.

@trawl7880 Год назад

Great video guys, Going to replace the Cannibis Rex in the tolex jr I have. Creamback all the way. and you know the way sometimes a guitar video demo the player will have like all their pedals on some vintage Dumbl and be like , this is an awesome sounding guitar. and you cant even hear the pickups, just the rig. Your video however is uber proper with the a/b switch thru the same pre and a loop too for consistency. most excellent got skillz

@Lilrockerdude13 Год назад

Fricker has proven this several times over on SMG. However, he was more concerned with just outright metal tones rather than clean and slight overdrive. Nice video and well worth at least a listen for the sound tests

@akwamarsunzal Год назад

Fricker is so annoyingly right I think everyone hates him, especially pickup manufacturers ;-)

@Online_Lawyer_UK Год назад

Glenn has shown this. But nobody would ever deny it made a difference. However, his view it's ALL that matters is just wrong. Pickups do matter! A lot of things all add to tone but pickups and speakers most because it's the input and output in the system. Fricker just won't hear that pickups do make a difference and has already changed his view from "doesn't matter" to "doesn't matter for metal". He says the speaker gives thenoutput so its what matters. Of course. But the pickups send the signal to the speaker from string vibration so they have the same value in the loop and therefore matter.

@mofomartianp Год назад

@@Online_Lawyer_UK Pickups definitely matter.

@Online_Lawyer_UK Год назад

@mofomartian Couldn't agree more! Glenn Fricker however can't entertain the idea that they do.

@pilummurialis6490 Год назад

Guitarists and pickup manufacturers hate him for calling the makers out on their bullshit and also he is trying to save people from pissing away money on stupid shit that is not needed to change tone

@whiteninja2006 Год назад

I concur with what most people have already written. It's probably the most important Factor when it comes to guitar sound, even before Amp and Pickups. The same amp and pickup combo WILL sound different trough different speakers.

@WokeUpScreaming Год назад

You should showcase the Celestion G15v-100. I have a cab with two in and it is THE sound I've always been looking for. Like a greenback.... but BIGGER 😁
