27/02/25 - Reformer 112 (G12H-75 Creamback) - Austria
Hi Alex,
Guitar-wise I'm pretty much of a Les Paul player (Blues, Classic Rock, Funk, Fusion), as far as amps/cabinets are concerned I've got a Bluguitar Amp1 along with a Bluguitar FatCab
I’ve installed a Celestion G12-75H Creamback in the AVD cab, as I had this driver from a former project. So far, I’m pretty happy with the new cab.
Comparing it to the Bluguitar Fat Cab with their proprietary driver, which is based on a Celestion G12M Greenback capable to handle 60W, showed these results:
-
Fat cab with Deeflexx and AVD cab show the same amount of dispersion, i. e. even standing right beside the cab the sound almost doesn’t change at all
-
Both cabs sound fairly similar, Fat cab got a little bit more low end
-
AVD cab and Deeflexx do not go together well, in this case low end and low mids seem to be attenuated resulting in a somewhat unpleasant sound
Fun fact: When I watched your YT videos comparing Celestion drivers, I didn’t like the Creamback very much, actually I gravitated towards the G12T-75. However, in combination with my amp, I’m pretty happy with the sound, seems like Creamback and Marshall like amps are a perfect match.
I’m also thinking about getting one of your bass cabs, I might address you for that matter again in a couple of weeks.
Best regards,
Georg

Hi Georg,
That's very interesting, thanks!
With tonal stuff a lot of it is about matching guitar, amp, and speaker+cab to the player and their sonic goals. Sounds like you've found a good combination for your stuff but I wouldn't say Creamback + Marshall is perfect for everyone, in fact the Creamback M65 sounds v different to the H75. Specifics matter! ;-)
Best regards,
Alex
