Appreciate any comments and recommendations regarding tone differences of using a G12H30 and Vintage 30 or two Celestion Alnico Blues. Would a G12H30 and one Blue be a good option? Thanks.

I probably won't be of any help to johnb, but when I look at the frequency response charts at celestion.com for the G12H30 and the Alnico Blue, they look fairly similar: G12H: professional.celestion.com/guitar/products/classic/detail.asp?ID=7Alnico Blue: professional.celestion.com/guitar/products/classic/detail.asp?ID=3Anyone else notice this or am I all wet? That's what made me recently buy a G12H30 and use it in a 1x12 cab. FWIW, I have a Z Best cab with a G12H30 and a Vintage 30. I also have a no-name closed back 1x12 with a Celestion Blue and a Cabman 1x12 open-back with a G12H30. Mostly, I use one of the 1x12's because, as we all know, Z amps are loud, even with an Airbrake. All of the aforementioed speakers/cabs sound great, you couldn't really go wrong with any of the options you are considering, johnb. Yes, the Celestion Blue does sound a little better, though. kc

Thanks kc. I am wondering if the Celestion Blue really sounds that good that it's worth the steep upcharge. I don't mind spending the money if it's worth it.

I bought an open back Avatar 2x12 with the G12H30 and Vintage 30. I'm running a MAZ 18 Jr NR with a strat and a Gretsch with small humbuckers. The Vintage 30 sounded pretty honky to me. I asked around and was told that it wouldn't sound like that in a closed back cab. I replaced it with a Weber Ceramic Blue Dog. I like it much better. We put the Vintage 30 in the other guitar player's 2x12 Marshall cab - right where it belongs. It sounds great with the Marshall. Check out Weber. Email Bill with a description of the tone you are looking for and he'll recommend a speaker.
