I got these to put in an old Behringer cabinet to use with my JVM 410h 100 watt Marshall head. I was going for that beautiful 80's hair band growl on the gain side and the not so twangy but still very clear on the clean side. These speakers are perfect for what I wanted.

I purchased a Greenback (8 ohm version) to try out in different amps and to blend with other speakers. I have a red stripe Peavey Bandit 112 that I like to test and break in speakers since it is relatively easy to install and uninstall speakers and I am quite familiar with the sound of the amp. I also have a dozen or so different 8 ohm speakers (I generally avoid 16 ohm speakers due to them having more high end and less mids) in my possession including early 90s V30s, early 2000s V30s, M65 Creamback, H75 Creamback, H30 Anniversary, Texas Heat, the Governor, Canabis Rex, Private Jack, EVM 12L, and so on. To my ears and in comparison to other speakers, the Greenback (8 ohm version) has little to no high end harshness (8k and up), little to no sizzle and fizz (think mesa boogie sizzzzz and fizzzzzzz) in the presence region (5k-7k), increased mid mids (500-2k) and upper mids (2k-4k), fairly neutral low mids (200-500), and slightly less low end (80-200). Overall, the frequency response of the Greenback (8 ohm) with its slight bump in the mid mids and upper mids and smooth, rolled off presence and high end make it sound very warm yet clear in both clean and overdrive applications. I would highly recommend the 8 ohm version of the Greenback for those who are wanting to tame a bright amp (too much sizzle and fizz in the presence and harshness in the high end) and want a British crunch that cuts through the mix (warmth due to slight bump in the mid mids with clarity and cut due to the slight bump in the upper mids). I also find that amps with a presence control will be better at dialing in a crunchy yet more or less cutting tone in regards to using a Greenback.

I replaced the speaker in my 40yo Fender Super Champ, and I'm finally hearing the amp the way it should have sounded all along. It's not a loud speaker, but it sounds fantastic. Perfect for practicing and recording.

The speaker needed rewiring.

I've paired many Greenbacks with amps that have a bright vintage rock tone... Marshall JTM45, 1987, 2203, etc. Classic Marshalls are my go-to sound, and Greenbacks bring out the best of them, to my ears. They are a warmer speaker, so they balance the treble/presence a Marshall has really well. I don't care for how Greenbacks sound with dark amps... I've tried them in a Fender Bassbreaker and Supro 1970RK, and it was just too bassy. I'm sure there are so many great pairings with a Greenback that I've not tried, so yeah, if your amp is bright, and you want a more woody, warm speaker, give a Greenback a try.

I installed this in a 1x12 cab and run it with a 30 watt head. It sounds great for blues and classic rock! Can't go wrong with a Celestion Greenback! I would recommend this speaker.

I got these to replace G12H speakers in a Marshall 1960B cab. They made the cab much warmer sounding, and give a thicker crunch tone. I'm using a JCM 800 2204 style head with this cab, and it's a match made in heaven. The only downside is that the bass frequencies are less tight now, but this is a known property of G12Ms vs G12Hs. I gladly roll the bass knob down on the amp to accommodate.

Lots of mid-range, smooth high end and not a lot of bottom end. Exactly what they're known for. If scooped mids are your thing, these aren't it. If 70's rock is your aim these are it.
