What is your speaker of choice to use with your Remedy and why? Any 1x12 users out there?

I tried it out with a Celestion Gold 1x12 and a Creamback 1x12. Both sound wonderful, but I prefer the Creamback because its voice fits the Remedy better IMO, and it isn't nearly as loud as the Gold.
I now use two Creambacks in a closed back cab.

I really like the Z Best. A 1x12 with a Creamback is also very nice.

I have Z-Best and a Port City 1x12 OS loaded with a WGS ET-65.
I'm wondering how it'll do with the 1x12.

Haven't tried a Creamback but I am EXTREMELY happy with a Z-Best loaded with Greenback's!

When I bought my Remedy I bought a 1x12 cab with a Gold - sounded great, no complaints. Then, Celestion came out with the Creamback. Now the Creamback is the go-to 1x12 for the Remedy. I did run them both together at an outdoor gig once just because, but I prefer the Creamback - in a closed back cab - on 40 watts.

I also had a Gold in my 1x12 cab and switched it out for the Creamback. I run mine open back with one panel off the convertible cab. Love this speaker!

I have a G12-65 in my 1x12. I got it before the Creamback was released, but looking at the freq response charts, and the sensitivity, it is very close indeed - and cheaper!
I think if I was buying today thought, I'd have a Creamback.......... (not enough of a difference to justify a change though - I cannot fault the G12-65)

What version of the creamback are you using? I think people are referring to the M model. They just came out with an H model. It's very confusing. I wish the wouldn't call the H model a creamback....sounds too close to greenback. and the H is not anywhere near a greenback tone.

Did I mention a creamback? REMEDY + 1/12 CAB WITH A CREAMBACK= The end of your speaker search for the remedy!

Went from the gold to the creamback as well and agree with the other posters. The gold is awesome with the remedy too. The creamback is just the perfect match for the remedy it was like it was made for it kind of like when God made Eve to help Adam. Can I get a witness anybody? Let the church say Amen!

I'm running mine thru a 1x12 with a WGS ET-65. I love it. I also bought mine before the creamback came out. Since this is supposed to be a higher powered greenback type speaker, I wonder how much difference there is? Anyone have experience with both? I actually like this speaker a tad more than my 2x12 with greenbacks. I run it open back. It's my small club cab.

I'm going to have to contradict my earlier remark here re the Rem and the Z 4x10. I've been playing around with that setup a bit and it's really quite good--Doc's 10s knock a bit of the spiky high end off the Rem in a way I really like. Dark cab + bright amp = goodness.

One Creamback @ 16 ohms does that too for me (smooths the highs out) on many amps I have tried. Hi fleabiscuit!

I was thinking of trying my 8 ohm speaker out of the 4 ohm tap to see if that alters the tone in any way - my experience withe Ghia doing this didn't seem to make any difference. There's an occasional high freq spike on the Remedy under certain OD circumstances through the G12 65 I'd like to tame if I can, without buying a new speaker...... just thinking out loud

I've decided to resurrect this thread, as I'm getting an odd sound (spike/resonance/harmonic?) from my Remedy with heavier distortion. It goes away if I turn the gain down just a touch. It only happens in my 1x12 with a WGS Invader 50, which I assume is their version of a Creamback 65. I wonder if a 16 ohm speaker might make a difference, or as you suggest, using the 4 ohm jack?

I was also a Remedy + Gold user until the G12M creamback came out. I use now two of them, 8 ohm each, wired to get a 16 ohm load, and I'm really happy with it. I had never used the Rem through the 16 ohm tap before, only through the 8 ohm one, and I think it sounds fuller (and, of course, I may be wrong). Tons of tone!!

Hey Ches, I get exactly the same thing from my G12 65 - I think it's a 1x12 thing. I did this, and it is BRILLIANT! Cheap, easy to do and VERY effective

^^^ Thanks, Pete. That's a good demo. I think I'll give that a try today since it's too cold and snowy to go out anyway!

As we all know, the Remedy has a lot of presence. For me there were a lot of high end frequencies that we just annoying to me and affected the way that I play. Even with the treble all the way down, the Remedy always sounds too bright and cutting to my ears. I tried a bunch different speakers including the Celestion Gold, Greenbacks, V30, Governor, G12H Anniversary and others but still couldn't tame the highs. So I contacted Jim at Scumback and he recommended an M75 and a J55 for my EVH 2x12. Both speakers are 65 watts each. These speakers completely removed the offensive highs and smoothed out the top a bit without losing definition. They also thickened up the tone quite a bit. I am now thinking that I could have used (2) J55s (55hz) and would have been perfectly happy. Anybody else using a similar combination of a 75hz and a 55hz or just all 55s?
