Celestion G12T-75

[BloodMountain]

what do you guys think of this speaker for that Death style death metal tone?

thanks!

ok, maybe i'm being too specific: any death metal tone then.

[HTH AMPS]

they are the standard speaker in Marshall 4x12s - I'd imagine the majority of metal bands back in the day where using them (or a similar cab loaded with the same speaker).

they work perfectly for metal but sound best played LOUD - they can be a bit weak/thin at low gain/low volumes.

[BloodMountain]

thanks for the reply!

yeah, i heard they were best when wound up, thanks.

would you say it is a solid tone rather than a smooth one?
and is it brutal enough for me?

[Twinfan]

They're solid, very tight.

For death metal they are great but only when pushed, i personally don't really like myn but i don't play death metal. :P

[Mr Ed]

I think that metal is the only genre in which these speakers sound good. Anything else, anything at all, and I'd suggest ripping 'em out for a pair/quad of Celstions or Eminence.

I had a 4x12 with them in the past, could never get it sound good. Something's always missing with them. Maybe they're better in combination with Greenbacks or V30. I think that's what they do in Ueberschall Cabs.

So, menolikey ...

G12T75's are a great metal speaker, if your using a marshall type amp try doing a G12T75 and G12H30 X pattern for a real throaty sound!

- I don't play Metal, but notice that compared to other ( Jensen and Eminence ) speakers, - the low end response nearly makes my legs buckle in a solid 4x12 Matamp cab.  They are still versatile enough to take the more subtle range of soul and blues I like, using a Laney LH50R-II as the head.


I can imagine that If I was the kind of player that used Warpigs, then the GT12-75 would make them sound like ' Warpigs + '.

 :D

[BloodMountain]

ah ok thanks.

but would i be better off with a different Celestion like a G12-K100 or a V30?

thanks!

[Crazy_Joe]

V30 would probably be better, i am planning to get some as i don't really like the default celestions in there now.

[noodleplugerine]

ah ok thanks.

thanks!

K-100s are freaking awesome.

Very dark tone - Very brutal.

K-100s are freaking awesome.

yeah, i convinced my dad that i should buy these instead of the cheaper option that he usually always goes for.

well, one of them, only one is broke!

so that brings me onto my final question: can you mix a 70 Watt speaker with a 100 Watt speaker in the same cab, with the same Ohms?

thanks!

Yes. I have a 30w speaker mixed with a 120w speaker (G12H and Eminence 121), and have had no problems.

You should try a Celestion Century Vintage, they are very light (neodymium magnet, 1.6Kg total! ), they sound like a V30 with a bass boost.
