Which Jensen speaker is your favorite?

Hey Metalheads... Ignazio Vagnone from Jensen here! Great to meet you all again, thanks to Kristian Kohle! For any question, curiosity, detail... just post your comment here, I'll be glad chatting with you!

I switched to Jensen Electric Lignings a while ago and love them. They sound way better than any Vintage 30 style speaker I ever played.

The Nighthawk/Electric Lightning blend absolutely SMOKES the V30 (my opinion). Sounds really good!

19:14 I just call this the "Kohle riff" at this point

Jesus christ the Nighthawk/Electric Lightning combo is BIG

I don´t know what it is but the ELECTRIC LIGHTNING sounds so much wider in my headphones. Awesome Video, like always!

I've got the Jensen Tornado Stealth 65, and totally love it. I grew tired of the harsh Marshall into V30 sound. I love the darker, fat tone of the Jensen!

The Electric Lightning is my favourite Jensen speaker. I have the 16 ohms version which still has a great low end but is not as dark as the 8 ohms. It's my go-to speaker for Marshall amps.

I spoke to Ignazio after your video chat and paired a Raptor, Tornado and 2x old V30 in an X formation in a 4x12. I’ve recorded to EPs with that combination already and can absolutely vouch that Jensen can do Metal and Ignazio is a fucking amazing dude.

Sounds like the V30 and Nighthawk would be killer when blended together.

I am fairly positive this was the first time I ever got a notification email that an update was available for an IR pack that I had purchased, most would just sell any new IRs separately or in a new pack. You're the best, and your IRs (Bogren and Eminence) are amazing, thank you!

I have a Jensen C12R in a 112 Palmer cab. I love it, its is a very clear and transparent sounding speacker. Keeps It all nice together when I use a lot of distortion. And the Speaker was really cheap.

I'll love to see the Jensen Tornado series blended with the Blackhawk or Electric Lightning (maybe with the C12's)

The jensens really do add a whole new vibe, def gave things a new life and can give you an even more harder/mechanical tone if you want in a very good way

wow those Jensen are amazing speakers 10/10 nighthawk and the electric lightning

Great video and speakers. I would love to see a "favorite" speaker pair comparison. V30 + G12K100 vs. CV75 + Swamp Thang vs. Electric Lightning + Nighthawk.

Liking that Nighthawk the most I think. But that Jensen blend on the famous Kohle riff mix just sounded brutal as hell! 🔥 Loving how these videos get me out of the safety net of the V30 haha! Looking forward to trying the IR pack update!

Kohle should release own Album! Also my favorite was Jensen Electric Lightning the lower mids sounds brutal. It reminds me a bit on the Celestion g12 m65 creamback.

You've turned me into a total speaker nerd lol. Love these videos man. Learning so much. Keep them coming !

These Jensen speakers give so much more depth in the mix! V30 tends to eat it up in this shoot out.

Thank you so much for free update of "Rainbows and Chainsaws" IR Pack Kristian! All of your IRs super duper rock!

My fav speakers, that I've have swapped into various cabs over the years, are 4 Pyles (one blown), that I have used since 1990. I'd have to open the cabs (now Emperor and oversize Fender (clone) 2x12's) to remember the actual model number. They are dark and heavy. The Jensons remind me of them in a way, especially the Electric Lightning. As with everything, speakers are subjective, but close micing the center of the Electric Lightning sounds more like cab in a room to me. The A/B's at the end make me think a V30 and Lightning might be a great blend!, but I am favoring the Lightning here. Thanks for the vid!

That is sick as fuck. I used a Jensen 4x10 closed back cab for gigs forever! I appreciate the Jensen love here. prost!

I like the Jensen Electric Lightning the best in the mix as a single speaker, but The Electric Lightning/Nighthawk sounds brutal when mixed

Hi Kristian, if you already use a padal from Poland, then you should also drink a polish beer. My favorite is "Tyskie" is like a "Helles" here in Germany. Greetings from Augsburg 🤘🤘🤘🤘

In the mix the Electric Lightning took it for me by a mile. Hearing it on it's own I didn't like it too much. What happens in the MIX is the primary consideration!

Hi Kristian. Nice video as always. Its the perfect mix of introducing us to new stuff, productinformation and entertainment. Could you do a video about the Hesu Demon? I really would like to hear your opinion on that speaker and if it is any good Thank you and keep up the good work.

All Boro Kings! ;-)> Just discovered MLC a few months ago! Ultra excited for that Silenoz signature amp! You're probably familiar with his bandmate Marc Grewe. They both inspire me for sure! Anyway, I remember our school bus around 1991 had Jensen speakers and we would all make fun of them for whatever dumb reasons. Fast forward many years and I'm like, "Made in Italy?! Nice sound?! Metal?!" I learned my lesson, hehe. Oh, and you've made it to the top echelon of all my KZfaq viewing. Love your channel and the videos are very straightforward and informative. Entertaining as well. Keep it coming! Cheers from North Carolina, USA!

Why does nobody talk about the Tornado Stealth 80??? Makes a 1x12 combo amp into an absolute BEAST!!!! 🔈🔥🔥🔥

Nighthawk + EL sounds fantastic.

Killer comparison. Totally agree with your pairing preference. Gets to that V30 sonic space but sounds clearer, a bit fatter in the low end, and eliminates a very present upper mid hump that is obvious when A/B’d with the Jensens. Thanks!

Wow...The 2 Jensen Irs are really sick!

Electric lightning kicks ass.

I love the Rainbows and Chainsaws IR pack. I have it loaded up in torpedo captor X and I have been really happy with the sounds/tones I have been able to get. I have been looking forward to the Jensen video for quite a while. I am just not a huge fan of the v30. It is obviously a great speaker, but there is so much more to life than a 5150/6505 run in to a cab with v30s. I love seeing/hearing other combos of speakers used in metal to produce something that is a little more unique.

I use the Jensen Falcon 50's in my 4x12(8ohm) cab. Jensen has a lot to offer.

Electric Lightning is definitely on my short list. I'm a sucker for that EQ curve.

would love to hear the Tornado Stealth mixed with these!

The Jensen mix sounds like it leaves a lot more room for additional parts and keeps the aggression. Much better than the V30

You are such a cool dude! Great video!

Jensens sound great alone, but when with the music I much prefered the Mesa styled Celestion V30. A classic is a classic for a reason.

Those 2 bonus impulses blended together are excellent. Damn they sound killer with the STL Amphub 5153 amp.

I run a combo of 4 tornado stealth and 4 electric lightning sprakers in a full cab. They sound great.

Duuuuuude. I can't wait to see what you think of that BluGuitar. I have one and it's INSANE. Also that Nighthawk sounds like something special. I'd love to see how it sounds blended with a WGS Reaper HP or an Eminence Wizard since they would also have that midrange coloring to fill the void the Nighthawk leaves open.

Love the combinations Kohle! Really appreciate you putting the extra IR’s together and adding them to your pack. Can’t wait to try them out! - awesome.

I really like that Electric Lightning. It is super meaty in the mids and has a great round quality. They all kick ass though.

Because of your videos, I grabbed a tornado stealth 65W. Much more balls than a vintage 30, much fuller and meatier. Really complements my 8 string playing.

Cool. Please try Hesu Demon speaker. My new fav speaker

I like the jensen mod 12/70 its bright and sharp but with a touch of modern

Hello from Morocco Thank you for your videos because it's very informative for me, and i need that for my job 😁

this is so awesome!!!! thanks for sharing these speakers! Lately I've been combining greenback 25's and rocket 50's in my new solo project Gran Hechicero, it's sounding freaking intense!!!

Electric Thunder + Nighthawk is indeed a great discovery! Ps: Can't wait to hear what you'll do with the Amp 1 :D

Brutal tones! Thank you so much for the additional IRs!

Kohle, Your videos are awesome! It’s like you’re revealing the ingredients to the secret recipe.

Would be awesome to do a speakers and genre mashup vid. EG: Use some alnico or neo magnet speakers for super technical tight tone, use a ceramic magnet for really huge low ended doomy tones: Something like that. Basically trying slow response drivers in faster music, vice versa. A lot of grindcore seems to do this, where a lot of the guitar tones are gross, distorted lumpy things and yet they're playing super fast. Not very technically clean of course, but the end sound is great because the whole thing is mixt together in a fun way. Also I just picked up Rainbows and Chainsaws, Awesome metal tone with no tweaking.

Italian Electric is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Absolutely in love your IR pack. (Don't tell Jens). I don't want to say it but I'd buy another pack if you put one out.

the cross of Peter, he would only except to be crucified upside down, because he wasn't worthy be right side up. Like our LORD. Keep rocking man

You seriously deserve more subs. Your channel is fantastic.

I found Jensen has a lot of interesting tones, listening the samples on the official website I found really interesting Electric Lightening 10 in for his pouch and middle focused character, the Raptor 100 and the C12Q more than C12k-2 ...but probably because I am searching a sound more versatile that Can work well with single notes and solos. I invite to make some other comparison with other cones 😜 However very interesting, we need more of this just to give more options and not referring always to the same sounds as you said. Thanks

I think I liked the Night Hawk best, but that V30 still holds up nicely! Take care :)

F.... he.. Why you didn"t do this video early. I"m recording right now and that your faforite combo in end is kick hard as hell.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Now I have 4X12 loaded with V30. When my project is ower I start really thinking to change those speakers.

The IRs sounds great. Thanks Kristian for this awesomeness! 🤟🤟🤟 😁

I really like that Fernandes guitar. And on the subject of pedals, I just got a KSR Eros boost+EQ pedal that I love! You might want to try it sometime down the road. ;-)

I have a Jensen Electric Lightning in my Jet City 1x12, and I love it!!!!!

That Nighthawk Lighting got the Mojo!!!

The Nighthawk/EL combo was siiiick!!

Thanks exciting as always with you. I like a lot the Jensen C12K-2 a good discovery to keep the presence that a V30 offers with another character, I like the sizzle in highs, I prefer without the filter! And the price is honorable, I'm going to try this one. Thanks to you.

Love that riffing and sound.

Great video thanks for the comparison !

Uhh auf das Iridiumvideo bin ich gespannt. Ich hab den mal auf ner Messe angespielt und war begeistert. Die Jensens machen btw. nen sehr guten Job. Aber der Scoop des Nighthawks + den Scoop eines Rectifiers. Ich glaube das könnte etwas zu viel des Guten sein, oder?

Bro, you knocked it out the park!! Your vids are so intelligent. Thanks!

Kick ass video as always, man! \m/

The Nighthawk is killer. I have it in my 2x12, and its not coming out! i just paired it with a Jensen Raptor, and so far they seem to be playing well together. The jury is still out on the Raptor this early on, but after break-in we shall see! So far so good.

A Jenson Nighthawk and Electric Lightning will be my pair thank you 💥💥

The bonus impulses should sound stupid good with the NDSP Gojira amp

Behringer Aultrastack uses Jensen's in their closed back back 412. Best bang for your buck cabinets

Hello boys and girls - borrowing Kristian's salute to ya'all metalheads! Ignazio here, thank you for all of your comments and questions! Since there is a lot of curiosity about Jensen Speakers, I would suggest you visit our JSIP (Jensen Speakers Interactive Player) here: sica.it/demo/ We took two guitars and recorded some loops, in all possible pickup combinations. These guitars went through 2 amps for a clean, crunch, and lead tone. Each of these rigs has been then recorded through 24 different Jensen speakers, each in a 1x12 open back, mic'ed with 3 different mic combinations... it's more than 8.000 audio tracks, recorded in 24/96 quality, embedded in an interactive player that allows you to play and compare in real-time up to 4 speakers at the time. In the video, you'll also have a peek at "the making of"... HAVE FUN & KEEP ON ROCKIN' !!!

Loaded the new IRs on my Fractal and gave 'em a go. They sound as great as the rest of the Rainbows and Chainsaws Pack. Thank you very much Kohle! :) I'm actually liking this new Jensen ones also on British style, midrange heavy amps. They balance the tone without getting too harsh or too scooped.

I wish Jensen made a Nighthawk in a 15in. Configuration!

Unfortunately, as boring as it gets, I still prefer V30's :(. But what a great idea to put other speakers (especially not Celestion) into the light! I'd like to hear IR made from Hesu Demons.

I have Jensen Jets in my Emperor cabs and they are awesome!

Can you do a review of the Marshall "ModeFour" Head, please? At least with its Cab as you're choosing to use the other half of that Marriage here ... I bought one back in the 90s and everyone gave it shit claiming it was purely designed for "Idiots" buying "7Strings" .. yet 2021 almost everyone in Metal and every sub-genre is playing a detuned Guitar below std C ! (STD C My absolute Fav Tuning for very early 2000s NWOAHM) ..... Was the ModeFour ahead of its time ????

Another great video! Currently I use your DV-77 for my new recordings but this Lightning/ Nighthawk blend sounds great. Gonna load this IR and do a comparison! Thanks!

I wonder how blending v30 with electric lightning would sound

Absolutely love your videos as they help to send me further down the music gear rabbit hole. One thing I wish you would do is make a video for terminology. What do you mean by woody, honky, boxy? I am sure there are others bit I am just curious. I must know! Please. Haha

I will definitely upgrade the pack when I get home. I’ve been using your IR pack since it came out, and I haven’t found anything that comes remotely close =P I used the STL Libra plugin to blend multiple of your IRs and export them as one to use in my Helix, every time I try something new, and I come back to that combination I have going on with your IRs I’m like: this IS my sound, the sound I’ve been looking for like al the time. We’re actually working on an album with one of my bands, and I’m just gonna use your IRs on there. Thanks man haha. Cheers from your neighbor country of the Netherlands =P

The problem with speakers that need to be blended is the sound tech at small venues will NEVER understand why the guitarists needs 2 tracks ^^ Otherwise for recording it's perfectly fine !

Jensen seems good for Black Metal - its very Thin but Trebble Focused

Electric lightning sounded the best and most original

When I discovered Jensen speakers were made in Italy I felt very proud. I might try one of these speakers someday. They sound amazing

Killer riffs!!! And cool IRs !!!

The C12K2 sounds like it was designed to compensate for amps that are severely deficient in mids. I think it will work well with the Traynor YCS100H2.

Thanks for all your efforts...stay METAL!!!

Ich muss sagen, dass mir einzelne Lautsprecher immer besser gefallen als ein Mix aus zwei Lautsprechern. Sowohl live als auch in deinen Videos. Anscheinend mag ich diesen linearen Verlauf nicht. So unterschiedlich sind Geschmäcker

Jens Bogren is the man!

This is really excellent! 🤘 I really look forward to trying out different speakers in a mix in the future! 🔥

Listening to the comparisons through my $300 Bose headphones the Jensen Electric Lightning paired with the nighthawk does sound the most killer to me!

Après de longs moments à comparer, le résultat est sans appel.. Le Blackbird écrase tout!

I wonder if the electric lightning would sound good paired with a 5153 to tame the fizzy nature it has
