@@ZillaCabs yes I didn't say it in a bad "why didn't you do it" kind of way, just in a plain informative one. It sounded great in your particular closed back too. You know your job well.
Not sure if these videos are still being made, but it would really be cool to see a speaker comparison between an F70, H Creamback, and V30. Maybe Fane F90s too if you have them.
I have a g12-65 in my 65 Princeton reverb (tweed one from guitar center) and I live the sound. I bought a cannabis Rex to test out and love that too .. can you do a shootout? Love the playing !
That's right, its not really ideal as you would re-eq each speaker but that would sort of be unfair too. In these videos I feel the G12-65 didn't come across as well as it could because of that.
I'm sure you have other things going on, but i for one would love to see new vids from Zilla! Maybe it's cabs and speakers matched to specific genres? Or one speaker in a bubch of different enclosures? Ps. Still absolutely love my Fatbaby with Creamback 75. Just perfect with my Marshall Studio Vintage head.
Laneys VC 15/ 30 are killer amps, somewhat Vox, Laney and american voiced, if that makes sense (full EL84 chime with some Laney timbre and american touch). They are excellent for vintage genres- including blues and jazz, for sure.
I figure a cabinet maker would avoid internal damping material on a fire hazard basis .. but is there any advantage to lining my cabinets with felt on the inside?
Is this using real speakers ... or are you using some Cabinet Sim software ? I don't see how you can seamlessly switch speakers in the middle of playing .
The closest to the G12-65 Heritage timbre is the alnico ruby (blue's mellower side), then in the same ballpark as a character but a lot darker and more modern (tighter, extended bass, rolled off highs, aggressive) is the a type, if anyone cares (and agrees).
@@ZillaCabs very good way of course. I think they have less amount of mid-freqs in respect to the other classics like GB. For that bass freqs are more present, making this speaker more suitable in open back Cabs.
now let's do a single speaker with 21 different mic placement shoot out, then 21 different mics in 21 different placements vs 21 more speakers with 21 mics in 21 different placements...21X21X21x21 = 194481 variables??? can you get the similar frequency responses and sounds from completely different sounding speakers by moving the mic around the cone...possibly?
Here's a Thought: I would really like to See a Factory Tour Video. Take your Time With it. Allow some of your Musicians to Create a Background Music: Acoustic, Blues, whatever..... , and Not Rushed. A lot of Factory Tour vids Feel RUSHED. That's a TURN OFF. Emphasis the Way you Build, your Joints, the Wood, the Various Types of CABS, Size, Shape, and then the Many varied Options of Stylizing YOUR CUSTOM ZILLA CABs. Just a Thought, but I think it would be a Strong Selling INFLUENCE POINT. All The Best...
One of the best Celestion designs ever.
Shines the most in open backs, in my humble opinion.
yeah you are right. Unfortunately this was a closed back, I think open back would have been better to show what it can do.

The original G12 65 from the early 80's is the one I get when I can find them, Thankyou very much for comparing and posting this video.
Hi James, as much as I like the newer ones, the real old ones are a really nice speaker for sure!
From what I’ve heard I thought the modern 65’s compared pretty good to the originals
I’ve got two from October ‘81. LOVE them!
When are we getting a demo of the Celestion neo V type?
nagraj test celestion g12m-25 greenback vs celestion g15v-100 fullback
You should do the g1265m creamback mixed with 21 speakers! Thanks for doing all this madness!
Have we not done that video? If not we should have.

Is the mystery speaker the Celestion Hempback?

When you guys record these speakers separately, you aren’t changing the eqs I’m assuming, leaving it exactly the same and the swapping speakers?
That's right, its not really ideal as you would re-eq each speaker but that would sort of be unfair too. In these videos I feel the G12-65 didn't come across as well as it could because of that.
Nice!
Wonder what the Alnico Cream 90 would sound like in a Dumble OTS style amp?
Best! ✌🏼
Oh yeah, they are great speakers for Dumble style amps.
I'm sure you have other things going on, but i for one would love to see new vids from Zilla! Maybe it's cabs and speakers matched to specific genres?

Thanks mate, we are working on new stuff, just been super busy, we started recording again this week though so hopefully some stuff soon.
@@ZillaCabs awesome that you've been busy. Thank you for the reply. Can't wait to see the new vids!

real speakers. record 22 tracks, line them up, make cuts in all 22 track simultaneously then edit the audio
why stands on 16 ohm version of the g12-65 heritage 15 ohm

Can you say what the mystery speaker was?
It is the Hempback
@@ZillaCabs Ohhh okay! Thanks! :)
Mid freqs of this speaker are "mystical".😀
haha in a good or bad way? In actual fact I do prefer this in an open back cab and this recording was a closed back. Thanks for watching.

My favorite mixes were
Alnico Gold 6:21
Creamback G12 Neo 7:27
Creamback G12M 6:54
Creamback G12H 6:38
Lead 80 6:14
