I took the Z Wreck to Casper last week but only took my Germino 2x12. Friday was the Germino Lead 55LV in all its glory. I tried the Z Wreck but wasn't feeling it. I plugged back in on Saturday and ... WOW ... what a sound through greenbacks! I played it all night it was that good.
Anyone else tried this?

What kind of cab were the greenbacks in? Open back or closed back? I converted my Z Wreck to a combo and ended up with a 12" Gold in mine. Sounds huge and open.

It's a closed-back Germino 2x12 with well-broken in Greenbacks. I tried it open back but thought it sounded better closed.
I also have a Wreck combo cab with a Gold but recently went back to using the Wreck 2x12...and the Gremino 2x12 last weekend. I've also played my Route through that cab and gold and thought it sounded pretty good...but the Route is with the Doc for a checkup.

I tried Greenbacks in an open back cab but it didn't do it. I've got to get a new back for my 2x12 cab and try the GB's again.

I have a trade opportunity for a Wreck head. Having never played one it would be a bit of a risk.
My only cab at the moment is a closer back Suhr 2x12 with a greenback and v30 in it. Any thoughts on how that would match with the Wreck?

Any thoughts on how that would match with the Wreck? I've never been a fan of the V30 as I hear a high-mid spike that doesn't agree with my ear. That said not everyone likes the same thing. On the amp I guess the best way for me to offer an opinion is to ask what you like playing through currently and which tones you're striving for? To me the Wreck is a hot-rodded AC30 and the greenback cab rounds some of the top-end off and gives it a "grunt" that I didn't hear with the blue/gold cab. ...but hear we are...talking about tone...kinda like dancing about engineering! :-P

I’m not married to the v30 and have been considering switching it to a second greenback, anyways. Is your cab 8ohm or 16? The Wreck’s on 2x12 is 16, right? Big difference?

The Germino is 8ohm and there's no difference to the amp as long as you use the right OT tap. I suppose if you connected the amp's 16ohm tap to the Germino and played it long enough you could let the magic smoke out! :-P That wouldn't be good...magic smoke makes all electronics work!

Haha I savor the magic smoke. I meant the 2x12 uses the 16ohm tap. Siri did her thing to it and made it read weird. Is there no real difference in the amp’s performance using the 8ohm?

If you’re using an 8 ohm cab, use the 8 ohm tap or you’ll ruin your output tranny. If you use a 16ohm cab, try the ‘mismatching thing’ with the 8 ohm tap, but never the other way round. That is, your cabinet should always have the same or a higher impedance than the amp, not the opposite. Hope it hepls. Tons of tone!!!

No performance difference...just the difference in tone between the Wreck and greenback speakers. Both tones are great...I'm just into the greenback tone right now. Headed to an outdoor gig in a bit with that combination in tow. CRANK IT! :-)

Thanks for posting. I Wondered about 212 GBs with Wreck, as the GB is such an excellent 112 fir for my Jr. Can't imagine that wouldn't be awesome!

I just recently tried the 2x12 greenbacks with my Z Wreck at Full and half volumes and on the Speed and Comfort settings ... WOW did it sound really good either way.
