I recently tried out a Gold 10, then a Greenback G10 and finalized on a Weber Legacy 10F 65 watt for my Mini Z combo - highly recommend this speaker to Strat or Tele players who feels that their Mini Z is harsh or buzzy sounding but doesn't want mud, a wall of midtones or a loose low-end.
It is my understanding that the Legacy model was born out of a collaboration between Scumback and Weber to craft a vintage inspired speaker that would sound like some prime examples within a private collection of a few hundred vintage 60s and 70s Pre-Rola/Pulsonic Greenbacks.
The Greenback 10 is touted as sound like a 12 and it sounded big to me at the time it was in my combo; the Weber sounds bigger, richer and has more range with a sweet, quasi-rolled off high-end, well balanced woody mids and fuller/tighter lows than the Greenback 10. In addition, the sensitivity is lower than the Gold which is good for home playing with the attenuator on 3. I wouldn't call the Weber 10F a dark speaker but it does sound better with a lower capacitance cable whereas I liked how the Gold and Greenback sounded with higher value cables as it tamed an imbalanced mid-high harness and honk that didn't dial out properly via 540k/260k controls wired 50s style (using wound G).

What I hear in this video is similar to the perceived tone of the Greenback G10 to the fuller sounding and balanced Weber (which sounds closer to the older '70 model in vid). The Weber sounds broken-in out of the box and definitely sounds better (in a vintage classic rock tone) than the original Ramrod. Can't recommend enough the 6n14n tubes with this amp and speaker.
I'm considering a 1 or 2x12 ext cab. Anybody out there running Scumbacks with their Mini?
