Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 Celestion's site says the 75s are 97db sensitivity and the Greenbacks are 98, which would actually make the Green the more efficient of the two, slightly. speaker sensitivity is kinda overrated to determine the real-world efficiency of a speaker, the standard test requires that the speaker be driven by 1 watt of power with a calibrated microphone placed 1 meter away of the system snd normally a continuous single tone is fed into the system. That's all fine and good, but one you put a guitar amp through it, with a broad range of frequencies going through the speaker, things will change quite a bit. The higher wattage handling on the GT75's will make the speaker reproduce both the low and high end much tighter and louder than the GB and will definitely give you a impression that the 75 is a louder, more efficient speaker. The GB will compress some of the lows and highs and appear quieter in comparison. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself and let us know, who knows, you may like it.. but I sure didn't when I tried it. It pretty much sounded like a cab with 75s with a little bit of the GBs cutting through the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Curtis.Fagan Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ugh, go all greenies and save yourself the head ache. I'm anti 75's anyways, but yeah, not enough mids -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, you actually did it. I've never mixed Greenbacks and 75s. V30s and 75s yes, but not Greenbacks, so I'm just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bankboy Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 I am using 75's and Eminence Private Jacks in my cab (amp is Marshall JVM). So far so good. The PJ's are noticeably louder but the whole thing sounds pretty good after 10 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Danger Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 i stumbled across this thread and gotta say that I hated this combo (had it in a voodoo amps 4x12). it was fizzy, scooped, and kinda bland I have another voodoo 4x12 with a g12h30 and hellatone 60L x pattern - now that is a combo - sounded huge, tight, cut like crazy, and worked for warm, big cleans up through heavy stuff. i was using an 82 jcm 800 2203 through it that was hot rodded by Soldano. Also ran a Bad Cat Lil' 15 and Soldano Avenger 100 watt through both cabs and the g12h30 and 60L combo came out every time as the winner (especially when recording) anyway, try it for the fun of it, but there are so many better X patterns out there. you might try and it and love it, but this is just my experience gooooooood luckkkkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m running a Lee Jackson Gp1000 which sorta sounds like a boosted JCM sooo that's pretty close. Any clips of said setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Danger Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hey, what's up man? Here are the instrumental tracks of 3 songs that I recorded with the jcm 800 and bad cat lil'15 - both the g12h30 and the hellatone 60L were miced and mixed together. guitars are a baja telecaster, gibson 335, and highway 1 with a mini humbucker in the neckhomepage.mac.com/kjamix/adlpassword:2gls1cupall of the clips have parts that range from clean to super heavy - same cab and speakers the whole timehit me up with any other question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JnBroadbent Posted April 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2009 and the verdict is?and its nice you can actually see the difference between the speakers themselves... Welp, they sound much fuller but lack the mid grind the greenbacks have. I gotta do some mic position tests tomorrow. Mic'ing both speakers and blending would be great.
