Скачать или смотреть Celestion Blue VS Celestion Greenback Medium Gain Shootout (AC30)

I am running my AC30CCH head into two different cabs. I am plugged into the normal channel of the amp. The master is at 1:30 and the preamp is super low…around 7:30 …well below band rehearsal volumes. I know you probably want to hear the amp cranked…but this is a good test of the tone at a typical volume you would practice with at home for countless joyful hours without developing tinnitus.

To achieve medium gain I am running my guitar into the Simble Overdrive. I had set it to for the Blue cab and I didn’t touch the knobs on the Simble when I switched cabs just so you’d see the difference in speaker EQ…the tone is a bit fizzy with the Greenback cab…that could easily be remedied…the Simble has quite an elaborate two knob EQ! I think this is a good example of the fact that the greenback has a bit more of a papery (or some people say breaking glass) top end which is it’s own thing…compared to the Blue’s smoother top end. The greenback has that bigger bottom end…and is overall a bit more of a woody tone.

Watch for the link prompt on this video for full video comparison.

I noticed as you crank up the amp…and switch to the top boost channel, both speakers give up even more interesting traits.

The Celestion Blue openback cab is from a local builder…I have the made in UK speakers. The Celestion Greenback cab (I think it’s the Chinese Greenback) is a closeback Randall cab.

The guitar is a Japanese Fender 50s reissue Stratocaster.

Cheers and hope you are well!
