far as I'm aware, the older screamers had 70/80's (also on the celestion site) and the newer ones have vintage 30's. should be pretty easy to determine which you have...

:drink:

i havent looked properly but from a glance it looked almost identical to the one in the picture you posted... so im guessing its a V30..

whats the difference betwee the new/old speakers sound-wise then?

well, that's what the 70/80 looks like, according to the website.

vintage 30's are better speakers, basically. IMO, anyway.

sambo · « **Reply #51 on:** January 01, 2007, 04:58:45 PM »

ahhh i see

and yer it's definately a V30 then. swish.

now might thinking about a cab of some sort.... hmmmmmm

is it best to go with extension cabs from the same manufacturer as the amp or does it not make that much of a difference?

i feel so stupid cause i've never bothered looking into cabs/speakers e.t.c. :lol:

dave_mc · « **Reply #52 on:** January 01, 2007, 05:11:04 PM »

^ i'd just make do with the stock speaker for the time being, to be honest.

The screamers that I tried that I wasn't overly impressed with had 70/80's, I'm almost sure.

sambo · « **Reply #53 on:** January 01, 2007, 05:12:41 PM »

ahhh i see, fair enough.

i cant wait to gig with it now cause im fed up of not having a listenable tone for our songs... i know a lot of the audience wont exactly be tone-snobs but i hate not sounding how i want to sound.

hmm i wonder if it's loud enough for gigging though....

:lol:

80W it is. Celestion somethingorother (not a G12 or V30, tough I think they did have one of them once upon a time).

And its LOUD.

i got the hugely heavy and metal oversized footpedal included with my Screamer when i bough it..... its now living with Telboy :)

good choice Sambo :D

Yep - well.. not exactly...as Christmas has now passed it's living with my son :( . (I have been thoroughly 'testing' it for the past few weeks :D ).Great amp ... ****ing heavy both in weight and tone - courier nearly collapsed when he delivered it. Footswitch, like the amp itself is typically German engineered - very robust and strong.
Some excellent sounds in there but if you intend to multi channel switch in a number (which I usually don't) the single EQ controls can be a bit of a nuisance e.g. setting a good clean (lo gain) sound doesn't usually give a particularly convincing crunch (hi gain) sound.

sambo · « **Reply #56 on:** January 01, 2007, 08:07:59 PM »

yer its heavier than my H&K halfstack!!!!! (weight i mean... well tone as well lol)

and mmm i know what you mean about the EQ... it's a bit annoying... but with an EQ pedal and a bit of jumping around with footswitches it's just about solvable.... ish.
