Hello mate. Hope you’re doing well. I really really enjoyed talking to Ken, he was a true gentleman and a huge well of knowledge that I don’t think I even reached one percent of. I look forward to experiencing more chats like this and learning more from great people like this.
British made T-75s from the 80s 90s and early 2000s can do it all pretty damned well, and can still be found fairly reasonably priced in used Marshall 1960 cabs. Much easier to get at a good price than a British made V30, and arguably more versatile,... depending on taste, of course. Sometimes you can buy a used 4X12 for less than the price of 2 of the speakers that are in it, if you bought them new. And the old speakers will already sound good without any break-in period. Used speakers are where it's at.
I have a pair of vintage 30 uk with the hemp cone... but i always love greenbacks... i have the same issue that is not capable only for max 30w ... soo i bought a creamback H75 love these sounds paired with a vintage 30 too
My favorites are the Alnico Blue, the Creamback M65, the G12 Hempback, the G12 Anniversary ... For blues and metal and everything between.... The blue is really great for metal. 🤘
Well, the hoboroadie is pretty excited about the thirty Watt AlNiCo Stunt Speakers, I predict that they are going to sound crispier and better than the mankey old T0652s that I have been running off the harmonics section. I have a few interesting melodic things in there to balance against the majority of my array, which is dialed mostly for cranial trauma.
It absolutely is, the wood of the cabinet is the equivalent of the resonant body for the acoustic or violin - moving the resonator after the amplification avoids the feedback you get from hollow body electrics (if you need convincing, try scrolling through the twonotes library, trying the same speaker in different cabs and vice versa, with the same amp setting. the difference in tone and resonance is wild, esp at the edge of teh speaker)
I recently bought a new 2x12 cab and a Celestion V30 and a Hesu Demon. I tried those speakers separately first. I already knew the outcome, which was the reason I decided on mixing those 2 speakers. But actually hearing it in real life was a massive difference. Speakers/cabs definitely make the biggest impact on your tone (ime too).
Genre-specific speakers is something I've never really thought about; I suppose you could define some speakers as more suited to clean guitar sounds, and some for distortion, but beyond that? I dunno. FWIW I have a Celestion Sidewinder (out of a Marshall 75 Reverb) in my 1989 Peavey bandit, and it's excellent!
Have anyone at Celestion, including that guy that keeps making weird noises with his mouth, to make a metal recording and it will come out absolutely terrible. You're better off asking someone like Andy Sneap, Colin Richardson, Scott Burns, or Fredrik Nordström if genre specific speakers are a myth.
I’ve learned a lot in this interview. Thank you so much for uploading this. The way he explained it makes perfect sense.
Ultimate tone is between the players fingers and brain . Excellent video - Cheers . ✨🎸✨🔊🔊🔊🔊
I loved you r reactions throuhgout this fantastic interview, Andy! Love Celestion and love seeing a guitar company go loud and strong a century after.

Thanks for the info Ken. I'm gonna get one those anniversary Alnicos.

This is an excellent explaination of this, and I'm so glad I clicked!
My favourite are Alnico cream backs. But they are SO HEAVY
But a mix of neo cream and V30 are in my zilla cab ❤

The best speakers 🔊 are celestion and Jensen for professional sound reinforcement
Very insightful video!
Thanks V! Hope you are doing well.
I think I’m starting to believe tone is in the speaker/cab. Everything changes things but you hear everything through the speaker.
I totally agree

There are a lot of ab tests, especially on smg sound studios’ channel that prove exactly this
There is a whole world out there outside the V30. A good place to start the rabbit hole is Eminence. Lots of options out there.

Woah, I didn't know the Peavey Bandit had been around for that long.
@@raytorvalds3699 The earliest ones date from 1980.
A specific Ice Cream for a Specific Meal was covered in a scene from the film "City Slickers".

You interviewed the wrong guy, Phil Collins is supposed to be on tour. I bet those Aniv. G12's would sound killer in your Bluesbreaker.
Speakers Corner! ❤
😂
Theres no one best speaker. You need V30+T75 in one cabinet.
💯
Geeks never have invites to parties. Sorry,Andy.
Their loss.
😂😂 my presence would have been too overshadowing 😂😂😂
@AndyGuitarGeek You are not an an after dinner speaker.
I think myths about myths are utter myths
Anymore, with all the "modelers" available, who even CARES about speakers and amplifiers?
I do. ☝
The hoboroadie gives neither whit nor fig for your "modelers". 🎸
@@lynette9021 Why? You really think any listener -- outside of yourself, of course -- can tell a difference?
Neo mmmm creamback sooo tasty!
If’n I throw a party ill invite you before not after.
genres are a myth. there are two kinds of music. the kind you like and the kind you don't.
"They've already sold out."
Then why mention it. Why have them there. Why limit it to 100. FFS.
Because they've all been sold to retailers. Who'll be selling them to guitar-playing customers very soon.
