Topic: Speakers NDY

Hey guys,
I have a 2555 jubilee head along with a strat and was curious to what speakers Joe was using during the NDY-era?

I know he has ev12ls now, but I'm not sure he used them back then, could they have been G12T-75s?

Thanks

Re: Speakers NDY

Not sure what celestions he used but he complained of them blowing up a lot LOL , Based on my experience the g12 75ts are not a good match for the jubilee , I have tried most and apart from EVMS (OBVIOUSLY) the G12M greenbacks are my favorite for the jubilee.  G12 H is also good but much darker.

I have but to no avail. I can't find info on the ANDY era.

I listened to this, and on the lead tones I liked the sound of the EV12ls a lot, very tight, clear bass. I also liked the G12H and the greenback. The greenback gives it a nice marshally boxy tone, the ev's are a bit clearer...

This was what I found, greenbacks have a nice syrupy marshall sound but not as articulate as the EVM 12L .

THE YOU TUBE comparisons are very helpful but remember that you are only hearing it with one amplifier , some speakers that sound good with one amp will sound crap in another amp ie, V30 in an dumble type amp is crappy IMHO

Re: Speakers NDY

Most of the time they were greenback 25 watt Celestion speakers.  Vintage 30's as well.  I went through many boxes over the years.  I got away with the greenbacks because I used just two heads and one cabinet per head.

Thank you for your reply Joe. I guess I'll go with EV's then. Since I'll be running 100w through a 212...
