Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.

Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
I just built an Express and have been speaker testing as well. I'm playing it right now through an Avatar Forte 212 cabinet (side-oval vented, closed back) with a Fane A60 and F70. It sounds divine, very chimey down low and blistering with good compression when dialed up. I got inspired by Martin's outside-the-box Express and designed a true point-to-point layout for mine with lots of help from Dave. Convention be damned. Generally it sounds wonderful, although I did make some changes owing to the decrease in wire. There is a bit of fizz when cranked, and I just happen to have a pair of 12M65 Creambacks on the shelf, so I will test those out for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.
Just plug it in, man.

I use a Marshall 1960A 4x12 slant cab with Celestion G12M-65 Creambacks.

Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
some new speakers worth trying w. trainwrecks:
- blackback g12m 55hz: darker than the greenback RI, flatter response
- v-type ceramic and neo: smoother, darker (the neo is a bit crisper and more articulate than the ceramic model)
- g12m creamback 65w: less treble than greenback RI
- g10 greenback: good bass, flattish response
- blackback g12m 55hz: darker than the greenback RI, flatter response
- v-type ceramic and neo: smoother, darker (the neo is a bit crisper and more articulate than the ceramic model)
- g12m creamback 65w: less treble than greenback RI
- g10 greenback: good bass, flattish response
Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
I have been curious about the G10 for a Champ I have. Currently I have a Weber Silver Ten in the amp. The idea was that it was suppose to have more bass and mids, but it doesn’t sound particularly Celestion like to me, though I suppose Celestion speakers are like Fender amps and there are lots of them that sound different.Roe wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2026 5:34 pm some new speakers worth trying w. trainwrecks:
