I have a 2 x 12 Cab for home use with a Vintage 30 + G12H that sounds great but for jamming at friends, I take a little 1 x 12 Vintage 30. Could I use a Greenback instead rated at 25 watts with the 66 rated at 32? I've heard some of the Celestions are capable of more power as Marshall Cabinets rate the Vintage 30 at 70 watts while the generic ones say 60 watts. I'm going after the Jimi Are You Experienced sound with the KT66's pushing the speaker to the edge without blowing it. Thanks!

I wouldn't unless you are only going to run the amp at very low volume. I run my 66 through a 1-12 with a 35 watt speaker and it pushes that speaker pretty hard. I could imagine blowing a 25 watt greenie quite easily...but I could be wrong, just a guess.
Whoops, didn't see this was posted in the "expert" section, I'm no expert.

I'm running my 66 with a single 25 watt greenie.
I leave the amp set; Volume 2:00 Treble 1:00 Bass 3:00
Been beating on this set up for about 2 weeks daily without a wimper from the Greenie.

Hmm Well I like using the Fulltone GT-500 with lots of gain and Fulltone Soul Bender or other Fuzz types usually all set around 11 o'clock and when not using those, I like to turn the amp up as close to 5-10 as possible for the nice Plexi type cleaner saturation. This is why I'm wondering if the greenie can handle that as the Fulltone can make the amp twice as loud sounding similar to how a tue screamer does.

I know the Weber 1225 will take it (according to Ted) and its a great Greenback clone.
