Greenback - Creamback

Armin · Mar 28th 2013

After using the Greenback cabinet for the Plexi 'Warm' Pack - I wanted to have a Greenback cabinet myself.

Unfortunately are Celestion Greenbacks only 25Watt's ... and my Marshall Cabinet is a 2x12" (1936Vintage).

But since a few month are the new Celestion 'Creamback' speakers available - same sound as the Greenbacks - but 65 Watt's - great!.

Just replaced my two Vintage 30's with Creambacks - love this speaker very much.

looks great!

I'm curious, do you find you have to use/play speakers for a while to 'break them in'?

Armin · Mar 29th 2013

Yes, they need some time to sound at their best.
Currently I just play - then I'll let them run some hours at 6Volt's AC - finally will the loud UFO-noise do the rest

I found that my Elmwood cabinet sounds so much better after a lot of profiling!

I'm very curious how they will compare...
Were you afraid to blow the original Greenbacks in your cab (which is not so easy IMO)?

Armin · Mar 29th 2013

4x12" Greenback cabinets sound fine.

Yes, I was afread to blow them - and the new ones have a little bit more bass - so my 2x12" Creamback sounds almost identilly to a 4x12" Greenback.

PS Did you split with Line6?

PS Did you split with Line6?

Because I changed my forum name?

No, I haven't used Line6 equipment for a long time now as I feel they have lost interest in developping further what was once promising. This includes HD 500, DT 25/50 and the new Variaxes as well.
I still use a Relay 30 and still have an old Toneport lying around but that's it.

In the beginning of this Kemper forum I thought it was a good idea to make up that little link as I have been moderator at the German L6 forum for 10 years now and I know many people or they know me.

But now I feel more and more that this is a link to the past and I intend to quit moderation there in April.

So Burkhard thankfully let me change to my actual first name.

Armin · Mar 29th 2013

Ok, Yes, I used also a lot of L6 gear in the past - and created even toolkits for the Vetta and Pod's.

I still own my Tyler Variax - it's a fine guitar - but the modells are not ready for 2013 - they still sound like 10 years ago.
'hope they release some HD Modell upgrade or that guitar will be sold this year too (Since I own most of the models I like as real guitar now)

Yes, I know. I have owned the Vetta toolkits which improved the Vetta's direct out a lot!

Thank you. It was my Mom's idea, 49 years ago.

True! ROTFL
It was completely unrelated, at least in my mind tho

...Are we derailing the thread a bit, maybe?
(Sorry Armin )
