Ok,

So I own a 1974 Marshall B cab I got this year and loved the sound right away. The vintage celestions inside just sounded smooth and awesome.

But, because I always love to experiment, I searched eBay on my spare time just to see if I could find different vintage G12Ms I can compare and such.

I found a pulsonic coned 1972 G12M for $100 on eBay! Can you believe it?! I figured something had to be wrong.

Well, turns out it sounds fantastic. I can really hear some qualities that why they are more desireable then the post-pulsonic era.

The Creamback 1974 speaker MAY be an RIC cone... I'm not sure. Its in a cab that has RIC codes on 2 but this one did not have any codes. My guess its its RIC. SM57 Mic was placed straight on pointing at the edge of dustcap on both

Both really do have their qualities. I like both! But the Pulsonic DOES seem to have a bit of sweeter sound with deeper lows and higher highs.

• Strat with rocketfires
• Elmo Overdrive (for dirty)
• Marshall JTM45/100 Build

(Sorry about the buzz... My poor recording is now relegated to MOUSE FART VOLUMES and that buzz was coming from somewhere in the house... oh well)

Wow thats NIce to hear a great speaker and a really awesome sounding jtm45, those amps are kinda picky and require some tweaking to get it right, love the SRV sauce

Great clips, great playing.
Both speakers sound good, amps sounds great too !
