  • Be honest, can you hear a tone difference? I have no affiliation with Celestion just had to try this speaker and was not disappointed. Plus, it looks cool as could be?

    Just FYI, the secret to getting less hum from the reverb tank in a head, is to flip it around.
    Instead of the rca racks on the tank being towards the back of the cab, flip the tank so the jacks face the grill clothe.
    Built two vibroverb heads, and this is how I solved the same problem.

    Nice content as always, Matthew. Not the same model Celestion, but I selected a G10 Vintage for my Pre-CBS blackface Princeton Reverb. I was risking hurting the original Fender-branded Oxford so after a couple wrong turns with different replacements, I settled on the G10 Vintage after seeing Jim Campilongo praise it on a TH-cam video. He's a big Princeton enthusiast and his simple assessment is that the G10 "is affordable and sounds great instantly" (exact quote). I especially liked the latter part of that description. My playing time is more limited these days and I really need something to be "right" ASAP.

    Celestion Golds whether 10’s or 12’s are my favorite speakers. I have them in a Vibrolux, my Bad Cat, my Princeton Reverb, my VOX AC15 (that has the Cream Alnico) and now after this Virus thing is over and I can get to gigging, I’m going to try two Golds and two Cream ceramics in my Super Reverb. I have two friends that have been running 2 x 12’s in a their Super Reverb. It’s funny youve brought this video out when I getting ready to put the Golds in my Super. I talked with my amp tech before about it. He said that running at 4 ohms shouldn’t be a problem. If you were running four JBL’s in a Super that would be extremely heavy. Those JBL’s are close to 10 lbs each. The Gold 10’s are about 6 lbs. the Cream are about 3 1/2 pounds.

  • @papaj8922
    @papaj8922 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The rule is {ohm x ohm} divided by (ohm + ohm). In this case you mentioned two 8 ohm speakers so:
    8x8 divided by 8+8
    64*16= 4 ohms- so the rule is the ohms of the power amp side (2 ohms) must be equal to or smaller than the speaker load, in this case 4 ohms (two 8 ohm speakers equals 4 ohms).
    How I remember this is a river emptying into a lake. The power(2 ohms) is the river and the speakers ( 4 ohms) the lake. The lake must be equal to or larger than the river or the water (current- water current/electric current) starts to back up as it cannot empty fast enough into the lake. Let's say for example you had a 4 ohm power amp but the speakers, the lake, was only 2 ohms. The lake is smaller than the river and the power will back up the river to the head and burn up the amp. A 2 ohm river (head) flowing to a 4 ohm lake (speakers) is just fine! By the way, genius is the ability to make complex things simple! Thank you. Papa J

    Love the sound as well as your playing as always. Since I'm "old" I will share an "old school" tip for better tone at lower volume. A bellari mp110 tube mic preamp is made for microphones, but has both xlr and 1/4 " umputs and works magic used after your pedals but just before the amp. It has gain, volume 20 db pad, phase reverse, and phantom pwr, which you won't need, but makes a sweet, controllable overdrive that will even make a solid state amp sound good. It's a cheap accessory that I will never go without since learning about it. I bought mine to use for solo gigs, so I could put a vocal mic into my amp and play alone without too much gear. Just tried it for the guitar once and blew my mind.

    The Deluxe Reverb is an impedance mismatch from the factory, they all still work if not abused and maintained.
    They were designed like that to run either single or dual speakers at a 25% mismatch either way. A 50% mismatch going up in impedance is safe-ish, going down is asking for trouble, especially at 1ohm.

IMO its a big bunny hole, you could find many pairs that sound really good together. So did you scrap a vibroverb cabinet and convert it to your super chassis or did you have a new cabinet built to vibroverb specs and just change the baffle? Hopefully the latter but it wasn't clear in the video. RockOn, stay safe!

    @greg6L6GC 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fender amps are somewhat forgiving. Generally you can half or double the speaker impedance. After all, they give you an extension speaker jack. Do not use it now. By cutting the speaker impedance in half you reduced the reflective impedance in the primary increasing current in the output tubes. This will lessen tube life a bit, lower power and decrease bandwidth. BTW, the output jack actually shorts out the transformer when the speakers are unplugged. This is to protect the transformer. Also speaker impedance varies. You can’t measure it with an ohm meter. That will give you coil resistance. I believe speaker impedance is determined at 400 hz. Research reflective impedance if you care to learn more. I learned this over 50yrs ago in trade school so I can’t get too technical. I’m surprised I remember anything at all. Sounds good. Like your demo.

      Hey Greg great info...I just purchased a 1980 Fender 70watt Super Reverb. The current owner was under the impression that the 4 10's were all original. However, taking a closer look it appears there are two 8 ohm Oxfords (top) and two 16olm CTS alnico (bottom) . I'm just guessing that the CTS alnico may have come out of a Fender Bassman or something (who knows) . I'm no expert on Fender combo's but my ears love the sound, however, I'm concerned about impedance. IF you or anyone else has input let me know?

If you want to save a bit of dough the Newer Jensen Alnicos are vvv close indeed to this, they also need a "running in" period , I used my Fender proreverb with a Jensen P12Q as my "Jukebox" to speed up the running in. 2 to 3 weeks playing 1 hr a day , 20hrs maybe 30.

    Hey! Sounds amazing! Great work!
    I’m about to do the same thing and am considering the G10 Alnico. Are you still using this setup? I like the JBL E110 but I don’t think I would put that in my cab. I’m leaning more towards possibly a celestion 10” or a Warehouse or a Jensen. Not sure yet. The amp I’m using is a little Airline 6v6 5 watt. Let me know what u think
    Thanks,
    Brett

    Hey ! As far as your Ohms go, 2x the load your amp wants to see, you're safe. The tone might differ slightly from the matching combination, (Dr Z did a video on that) but for the rest, you're OK. I have a mismatch on a VOX 8 Ohms through a Celestion CreamBack 16 Ohms and it works/sounds great. When I push it, the breakup comes a bit earlier and the tone is a tad more spongy. Sounds just great ! Keep safe & peace bro ;-)

    A Celestion type speaker will DEFINITELY help out a fender circuit. It adds more midrange and has less flub. Weber makes a GREAT 10” Alnico that is a cross between a P10R and a Alnico Gold,basically. It’s the 125P. I put one in an AA764 Champ build I did recently and it really made the overdrive more “solid” for lack of a better term but the cleans are still pretty much the same. It’s much less expensive speaker than an actual Celestion too. Cool video btw! I always enjoy your playing.

    • @IbervilleMusic
      @IbervilleMusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I personally play top40 and jazz and never need to push it higher than 5 even in the loudest moments. sweet spot is around 4.5. Mind you I use pedals to boost up my volume for clean parts and get my gain sounds (I stack: Vemuram Jan Ray / Xotic BB preamp / JHS Morning Glory) and always mic the PRRI (one off-center sm57 pointed at middle of the cone)
      I've tried diming it a few times for fun but am not a fan of Fender Blackface distortion sound. The Alnico has a slightly better headroom and the stock Jensen and can take the punishment, but if you really need to turn your amp up that loud I'd look into something more powerful/high wattage.

    According to Greg Gagliano in Vintage Guitar Magazine, Fender sometimes issued mismatches from the factory during transitional phases like using up the transformers from the Bassman 6G6 in the Bassman 6G6A in 1961 into 1962 and also in the 3X10 Bandmasters that shipped with 8 ohm transformers.

  • @TweedToneKing
    @TweedToneKing 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fender amplifiers can tolerate a 100% impedance mismatch in either direction. So if it’s rated for 8 ohms, it can safely be loaded with 16 ohms or 4 ohms. (Source : Skip Simmons - Truth About Vintage Amps Podcast)

    My opinion, sounds great. Ive considered a gold but sticking with jensen for the time being. As far as your 2ohn nominal into a 4 ohm cab, your amp is safe. I wouldn't go the other way though ever. My understanding is that the fender external speaker and speaker outputs are run parallel so you can run a second 4ohm cab and your amp will then be running at nominal 2 ohm. Personally, I build my own cabs with pine and i always use 1/2 inch birch ply for the baffles.

  • @HeyLiem

    I guess if the soundman doesn't like our loud amplifier we will have to reassure him that we will put it at the volume he prefers, we have to work with the soundman for sure and compromise in life to get along. Hopefully the soundman will appreciate our willingness to compromise and he might be willing to go a little louder than usual. I guess there's mellow crowds who like it quieter and rowdy crowds who love it loud. Hopefully the soundman knows the kind of crowd that shows up at his venue more than we do.

    Can anyone help me decide between a Celestion Gold or a Vintage 30 or a Celestion Blue?
    If anyone can please chime in it would be much appreciated! Thanks y’all!
    So here’s what’s going on-I play burstbuckers through a boutique take on Princeton Reverb that has 35 watts, a 12” speaker, a master volume, increased headroom, mids control and a mids boost footswitch. This is to play clean tones at higher volume in a band setting AND also to be able to use more boost/overdrive/distortion-things I couldn’t/shouldn’t do with my 1966 Princeton Reverb.
    The problems are the pretty bad sounding bass and mids on this boutique amp. The mids control and a mids boost footswitch are cool in theory but in practice they don’t sound so good. I want these features to live up to their potential and I want my E and A strings to sound more like my vintage amp.
    My theory is the problem is the speaker- a Jensen 12Q. Switching out the Jensen from the vintage PR (a new Jensen not the original speaker) was also a big upgrade.
    So which Celestion is best for this? The $ difference is not a big factor, I just sold a guitar and that money is going into fixing this problem.
    Thank you Gracias and thank you again!

At high volumes some can really nasty. I like Webers for my purposes, and I run two ceramic and two AlNiCo in my Super Reverb, and one of each in my tweed Super.
