I’ve seen people speculate that on From Mars to Sirius by Gojira, they used a Marshall 1960 cab with G12T-75s and that album sounds larger than life as a whole. I’d like to know people’s opinions on whether they think it’s true.

I was totally cursed when I was having my first experiences with the G12T75. I was looking for my first real tube head... and because of the G12T75 I thought that all the new marshalls of that time (JCM2000s) would suck. I hated it. Found out later that every store where I went paired it with the standard 1960. Quite a few years later I tried the DSL50 through a greenback cab and that made me realise how huge the differences between speakers/cabs are! Love the DSLs now and I'm quite sure I'll get one at some point. It's standard cab is just the worst possible combination imo. :D PS: Love grandma's guest appearance!

that’s because the modern g12t-75’s are completely different than the 80’s variant, which is super sought out for.

The early vented magnet G12T-75 speakers were just G12-65 speakers albeit with a kapton voice coil instead of a fiberglass voice coil. It was Celestion's approach to enhancing the G12-65 for high-gain usage. Due to that difference in voice coil, they sounded brighter and more mid-scooped than the G12-65. Rest assured, they were good-sounding speakers, and they sounded nothing like these crappy new G12T75 speakers. If you want a modern alternative to those old vented magnet G12T75 speakers get yourself the WGS ET65 speakers. They are accidental clones of the old vented magnet G12T75. What WGS tried to do with the ET65 was to make a speaker that will be an enhanced take on the G12-65. However, while doing so due to some strange coincidence they ended up doing the exact things that Celestion did while making the original vented magnet G12T75 speakers. They too just cloned the G12-65 and put a kapton voice coil in it, effectively re-creating the old vented magnet G12T75.

The irony behind the fact that Kohle used to hate T75s but his tone on them is just about better than every speaker he’s tried on this channel. Listen to how defined and firm the low strings sound-His V30 tones are never that precise and firm on the bottom Anyways, it’s fair that one may not like recording with T75s, but they sure as hell are one of the speakers for live playing. They have a really fun “play” about them because they respond very fast and have a lot of snap. they can open up the top-end on a dark, compressed amp and make sure the low end doesn’t get mushy

Like Dimebag is about to jump out playing a bouncy pogo dance rhythm, when the T75 is like a woeful black metal siren call from a distant icy mountain of doom. Don't get me wrong, the T75 sounds bad, but maybe in a good way?

I ADORE G12 T-75s. They sound weird in contrast to other more “conventional” speakers, but I think they really smooth out certain amps, 5150s in particular. The 5150 in combination with the V30 has too much damn midrange and a T75 puts a kind of smiley face eq curve on it which makes it more playable IMO. They sound kind of crappy on their own, but can add a great flavor in a mix. Especially amongst a sea of V30s which fucking everyone uses.

I almost agree with you with the 75 being "weird" for recording. But for live, they're the BEST!!! I love the 1960 Marshall cabs for playing live. I've never heard myself so clearly on stage, until I played through these speakers. I can be pretty quiet, not annoy the soundguy, and yet still hear myself crystal clear. The first time i played through a mesa v30 cab live in a 500 capacity venue, i couldn't hear myself at all. I even got an offer for a cab with the t75s way beyond the real value of the cab in the same venue. I also really like them when i do sound in smaller rooms. Outside, i miss the bite of the brighter speakers, but inside, in a small room, i can perfectly control the amount of high end, so that the vocals stay bright, and crystal clear above the mix. The t75 is the best rehearsal room/live speaker period. Else they wouldnt've made so many of them.

I haven’t played these speakers in years. And my taste as surely changed since I was in a metal band playing through a Marshall 1960B loaded with g12t-75s. However, I always liked how they sounded. They seemed to remove some mids, so I always had my mids higher than most metal dudes. I also found that pulling my main crunch overdrive to just enough to hit pinch harmonics, and then cranking the volume into the sweet spot where the cab and speakers sounded like they opened up, but not quite loud enough to get muddy-the speakers worked for me. I think. And of course, that was just to my ears and in rehearsal.

did you at least equalize? because that was the only video I saw these speakers sounding bad

It's kinda interesting how people right now are trying really hard to get Death's guitar tone with all the valvestate inspired gear coming out. Yet everyone still professes to hate T75s. Literally every record by Death was recorded with them. Every record by bolt thrower was recorded with them. I mean EVERY one. Every single album. I have to agree of course that V30s are much easier to record. If I was the person actually doing the recording of bands, I can see why the T75 is a nemesis of sorts.

The legends to me are just harsh and too barky sounding.

worst speaker of all time ? haha, that´s why all these metal bands use this speaker, at least live, where I have seen them use a Marshall 1960 Lead A or B: Obituary, Hatebreed, Dying fetus, Dr. Living dead, Power trip, Suicidial Angels, Terror, Tankard, Gruesome, DRI, Morgoth, ..... and Metallica are said to have used it in the studio for the recording of Master of puppets .(there are endless discussions what gear Metallica have used on their first LPs, but with the gear for Master most "experts" are quite sure) all these bands mentioned are old school thrash and Death metal bands, that is my taste of music, many bands use E or D - Standard. (Hatebreed and Dying fetus are lower). maybe you like a different metal style (lower tunings) , where other speakers are better. I know many local thrash bands, and nearly every one of them uses a Marshall 1960 A cab. (they all play in E-Standard) the slanted A cab is one the most sold 4x12 cabs in the world. (thomann says it is even the most sold) when I compare in a shop the 1960 Lead A and the 1960 AV cab, the Lead wins way ahead. the V30 has too many mids and sounds much thinner. I do not like the speaker in a B cab, there it sounds too dark, no mids, even a little bit boxy, here I agree. but in a slanted cab it has a different tone, even better mids than the V30 version. maybe you have played this speaker in a B cab, then I agree with you. maybe you use lower tunings, then even the slanted A cab might not the speaker for that sound. But for old school thrash and Death metal in E (D-) Standard, it is the right speaker.

I have been using 1960A and 1960B all my life, yes they fuzzy sound and very glassy but I love it .

I think the blend of those first two IR versions you made would be great

Really awesome video! I would be very happy if you checked out the Celestion Neo Creamback in another speaker comparison video! Amazing speaker that´s part of the Creamback family (In theory they are high-powered Greenbacks I believe but I could be wrong :P) and it´s a Neodymium-speaker like the Century Vintage you tried before. I use it in combination with a Vintage 30 in a 2x12 with great results but I´m planning on swapping the V30 for another Neo Creamback just because I love that speaker!

Holy shit. this is so interesting. And i learn so much. Have to watch that again :D

Really like to have these IRs :) cool video

Dunno why but somehow I feel happy for you man :D even tho g12t75 is one of my favourite speakers (I have one which sounds a lot better than yours, I was actually really surprised how dark sounding the original tone was). And as always, great sound, what you got from that beast ;)

thats some achievement! proud of you sir!

Mega Video! Gute Inspiration kreativer bei der Soundsuche zu werden! . . . Gibt es Tricks gegen geclippte Signale (bspw. Toms, etc?), ohne zu triggern?

RX8. Hab ich auch ein Video drüber gemacht. Wirkt Wunder!

Are you using some type of LP filter or rolling off the highs with your amp? How do you manage to get rid of that nasty SM57 'jingle bells' crap in the 2k area? This has always been my biggest issue with the 57. It almost sounds like you have a blanket over your cabinet.

Maybe you have a bright, Chinese v30 in 16 Ohm? Or maybe you have the mic too centered? Hard to tell.

The first thing i thought when i heard the first part was that does not sound like a g12t-75 it does not have that upper mid character especially recorded, the phase thing made it make alot of sense .

75s are great. classic 80s/90s tones. scooped mid range is awesome . less mids . more gain . Florida Death Metal for ever . getting tired of these impulse response fake amp fake drum nu metal trash . everything sounds exactly the same.

Same.

I always loved the old G12T-75s for 80's style thrash rhythm tones, especially with a Marshall amp. But I honestly could never find a use for them when I switched back to a more bluesy rock style, and so I moved onto Vintage 30's first, before finally finding my favourite place with 70's Greenback and Blackback tones.

4:05 I think it sounds brilliant though. But your comments are very insightful! Love every video, man!

The T75 is the Ride the Lightning sound.

They used a 65 though. Other thrash bands used the T75 so you can play metallica with it

Likely the speaker in the '300 watt kabinets' used on Puppetz 👍🤘

Used to use V30s and 75s in an X configuration and I always loved it

There are many many speakers and cab configurations that I personally would never buy due to lack of cash, but have a great tonal character in their own way IMO.I bought my first set of Celestions 10yrs ago. 4 G12T-75s and rebuilt my year 2000 homemade 4×12 into a hodge podge of solid maple sides and 7ply birch front/back. I've owned probably more than a dozen amps, played maybe a hundred more through it, and I have never not been able to at least dial in a tone I could live with on each and every amplifier that's pushed it's output transformers&valves through. The Lynchback, G12 EVH, and Classic Lead 80 are the only others I can say the same for. If you're after one and only one particular tone in such a focused area of frequencies, along with a similar gain structure throughout, you're always going to think the V-30 is the holy grail of guitar cabs. I'll retain my personal opinion of that speaker to myself, just keep in mind that there's one trick ponies, that (no disrespect) do their tricks about as good as it gets.. and there's guitar drivers capable of covering a broad enough part of the spectrum, they fit just fine the parameters of ever changing and evolving tastes, and tonal prefrences.

Early Meshuggah with their best tone was t75, Nevermore - DHIADW, Nightwish - Century Child, Exodus early 00s tone and etc. English made t75 such an awesome speaker, but chinese one... oof. Great Video, sir!

@@phantomflame0658 oh yea and famous Peter's Tagtegren tone from Hypocrisy and Abyss studio ( whole mainstream EU black metal scene since 90s till now ) is t75s afaik. To be honest by far best metal speaker.

I had 2 of those in an 80's Marshall cab. Whenever I tried to record it I had problems getting a good tone. I recently put a V30 and a Creamback in there. That's night and day. Although, I'm also going to try the V30 and a G12t. I've heard it makes a nice blend.

You were speaking about phase tuning frequencies.... I’ve done this by placing a sonic maximizer in the FX loop of a thin sounding amp to bring out more chunk. Maybe stupid but it seems to work.

I have a prs archon 25 which came stock with a g12t75 so upgraded to an old 90’s v30 from a mesa cab and paired with the g12t75 its absolutely killer! I really dig the pair. Also, my 10 band eq in the loop helps tremendously.

I always figured this speaker would sound best using an MD-409. Maybe the e906 would sound cool?

10:06 HEY WAIT A MINUTE WTF IS GOING ON ON THE WINDOW BEHIND YOU 😂

There’s also other G12s speaker. Are they all the same like the G12evh?

I think g=guitar and 12=12". That's all.

I ended up putting two G12T-75 speakers I got for $50 in this Sound City Concord combo I have. It's an open back amp. It sounds really nice for clean tones. At least better than the stock speakers that were in it. But it tends to get lost in the mix when I play live. I wish that amp had a Mid adjustment.

Doesn’t the Bogner Ubercab have two of these and two v30s in an x pattern? I’ve heard some good stuff about that cab.

I kinda dig the fuzzy "chomp" of the T75. Maybe if it in a combination with a middy speaker like the G12H75 Greenback, it would be a nice thick, White Zombie-like groove metal tone.

Where can I get tone-socks????

I can't wait for this IR pack now!

Would love to try this IR. currently im really liking the G12-T65 IR from celestian. Only cab I have at the moment is a frames 2x12 with V30's, and I hate it..

so G12T75 sounds like all those fancy impulse responses with tons of mud

"There`s the speaker I hate the most so I did some impulses for you!" Now that`s the attitude lol On a serious note though I want that impulse! But I`m never lucky
