As always, incredible service and fast shipping from Sweetwater.
I’ve never played a mkii, so I’m super excited. I have the following speakers, which would you recommend (by itself in a Dr Z convertible 112 or paired in a Z212)?
Celestion Blue Celestion Gold Greenback G12H30
Thank you! Jason

It's hard to beat the G12H, a good reason Dr puts them in so many amps included the Maz 18. I ran a bunch of stuff and settled on a funky retro rebuild that was described as a middle ground between the blue and gold. It really like the alnico.

I think it depends on what sound you're looking for?
The Blue will get you closer to "Vox" tones, but still be all Z. Works great for clean and dirty tones and as a pedal platform... I have a Blue in a 1x12 convertible (use it open back). Best amp/cab combination I've ever owned.
I feel the Gold is too scooped in all the wrong places, whereas the Blue has some good mids to go with those dirt pedals.
Not tried a Greenback and never played a G12H30 by itself. It was a G12H30 in a 2x12 with a Gold, which was glorious. The G12H30 filled out all the spots the Gold was missing, but the Gold was louder and gave it that great Alnico tone up front. I usually mic'd the G12H30.
The Mk.II has enough lower-mids to make the Blue sound really full.

I keep circling back around to the G12H30. I've tried a half dozen or more speakers and it's just a great match with the Maz.

not exactly the same but in the family . . . I recently put my Maz 8 in a 2x12 combo cab with a pair of Greenbacks. I was expecting it to be muddy sounding for some reason but it actually sounds really great. The Greenbacks has more top end then they typically get credit for and for now they will stay in the cab with my 8. I too am a fan of the G12H30 in any Z amp. If you have Greenbacks already, use them, it will be okay. If you are looking to buy speakers then I would go after the G12H30s my 2 cents, Todd
