Speaker Test Generi-Metal 3 - Creamback
By Nyarlos on December 18, 2022 9:05 pm
So same setup as the last 2, another bunch of similar riffs, amp, guitar, effects and everything the same, minor amp tweaks and just the 3rd of the 4 speakers, the Celestion Creamback.
Usually marketed as a vintage style speaker, this was instantly better than the 2 weeks before, 5 seconds of mic moving to get a tone, I think, at least in this cabinet, eminence has lost the battle to celestion. My go to is usually the Vintage 30, but this speaker slays honestly. Super crisp and clear, and interestingly, if you are into these things, when touching a speaker you can test its 'compliance' by seeing how easy it is to push in, usually meaning a more responsive cone. When we mounted these my tech commented how the creamback had the best sensitivity straight away. Now that is something I will check all speakers for.
Cons: Very Hifi sounding, so the bit at the start with 3 separate parts got almost too full, so I had to clean and carve a bit of space out of them, honestly hardly a problem, Id rather have it sound too full than not enough.
Very, very crisp, might not suit everyone, but Im into that shot.
Pros: Super easy to mic, everywhere sounded good, a banger of a speaker.
