Title: Celestion Greenbacks or Creambacks?
Post by: 5F6-A on November 28, 2015, 02:54:41 PM

I really like the old type Greenbacks and clones (e.g. Tayden True Brits) but the Celestion Creambacks (M model) are great too. I love the thumpy low end of the CB and the musical high end.

Here is a track (not mine) played through both. First Greenbacks, then Creambacks and finally both at once hard panned. CB on left and GB on the right.  :shocked:

Which part of the clip do you prefer?

I like them both. The creamback's a bit smoother (which is sort of what I expected, having tried the tayden high brit), I kind of suspect in reality I'd prefer the greenback.

Individually I definitely like the Greenback more than the scooped sounding Creambacks, but I liked the 3rd part that had one per channel the best, that sounded really big!

I have a 65 watt creamback and an old mojotone greenback clone that is 60 watts (not made anymore).
When pushed the mojotone sounds great......at small club and home volume it sounds thin and cheap.
I haven't had a chance to really push the creambaxk yet but i really like it so far.
I do however think it has it's own sound that isn't that cloee to a greenback....It is much fuller.....with a really nice midrange.....doesn't break up the same as a greenback.....
I really like them both i guess i just dont think they are all that similar...
