Thanks, glad you like it. Kyle makes some cool gear, and that's a nice mix of speakers.

Excellent, I like that mix too.... do you prefer one over the other or is it the mix that you really like? I remember your cab by the way, we matched up the grille right.

Yeah the Alnicos are bigger and harder to get in combos... how did you like the mix?

They are both nice mixes. Did you find the M/neo cut through a band mix any better? Thanks for watching.

@@ZillaCabs The thing is i heard myself perfectly with the M/H set but the others were unhappy and were complaining they did not hear themselves well enough because of me. With the m/neo i leave more space ( according to the others ) in the lower mid regions.

They are both nice mixes. Thanks for watching.

The two you mention there are nice mixes for sure, they are the ones we do the most of. Thanks for watching and for the input.

That pair will cut a bit more, some people don't like that but they are good for cutting through a mix... I hope that's what I said in the video haha. Thanks for watching.

A lot of people liked that mix. I think it's a good all rounder. It's funny, a lot of people say that about the noe, they hear a fizz in the neo, I don't get that but there's a lot of people who hear it. That's why speakers are so much fun, there's something for everyone. Thanks for watching.

@@ZillaCabs Well it's funny because I have two Neo creambacks in my Orange cab and they've never sounded fizzy to me! And to be fair I was listening through my crappy phone speakers!

That would work well, we've done that mix a fair few times... often in vertical cabs with the M on top.

@@ZillaCabs After much swapping and nearly giving in and buying vintage greenbacks, I have settled on a vertical cab with a mojo bv25M on top and mojo bv30H on bottom, sitting on a horizontal cab with a mojo bv30V and Celestion M creamback. Both great combos in their own right, but what an amazing quad combo! Powered by a 20w plexi and paired with a 1965 twin reverb with EV SRO12s in it. At the moment. Haven’t changed anything in over 6 months now, so that’s promising. It's a studio, so I can usually use the whole rig. If I go somewhere, I can take any number of other amps or just grab one or both marshall cabs, since 2x12s can fit through a car door unlike 4x12s, it works out. One cab is up high which is nice in a crowd, and I can point them differently as well to, say, give the drummer a shot directly in the earhole with the floor cab lol

I like that mix too, great for keeping weight down too. Thanks for watching.

That's a handy mix, I think it's been the most popular so far.

Thanks mate.. that is a really cool mix of speakers, nice mix of bright and dark. Thanks for watching.

I've been working the the H anniversary a lot again. It's a cool speaker and one that fell off the radar a little for a few years. Thanks for watching.

I'm a secret fan of the T75 too.... maybe with a bit different eq but I like it too. Thanks for watching.

10s are a really personal speaker and I have to admit, I change my mind all the time as to which my favourites are. Thanks for watching, glad you like it.

They have a full length one, hit the arrow under zilla cabs on this vid

yeah, there's a full length version, 8 minutes I think and a bunch of different styles.

Thanks, glad you liked them.

The V type is a love/hate type speaker, I'm not a huge fan but I know way too many great players who love them, it just shows how subjective speakers are. I'm going to have to get them in more videos... any excuse to play loud ;)

We did a video on that a couple of weeks back, we did an A/B against the blue. Thanks for watching mate.

@@ZillaCabs Thank you for the reply, Paul. I saw the A/B video a few weeks ago. What I am curious about is your personal opinion from being in the room with cabs and speakers ;-)

@@RobbieF OK cool, well I really like the alnico 100, it's really articulate and pretty clean. I love the blue but I don't find it as warm as a lot of people say it it. They are quite different speakers and I don't think will be great replacements for each other. I like both so I'd be happy to work around either but they are very different.

@@ZillaCabs Thank you, Paul!

We've bought a few old alnicos but unfortunately they've all come broken so never been able to do that video. I've actually got an alnico from the late 40s we've been meaning to do a video on.

Yeah I get that for sure, and the Blackbird 40 is one of the best value speakers out there but I hear what you are saying. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, glad you like it.

We have one, that's actually a really good shout, we'll do that test.

​Looking forward to see it. Cheers

Also, interested in how it would compare to the Jensen Blackbird 40 as well

Thanks for watching mate. It is a really useful speaker.

Thanks mate.

Yes

The trouble is it's kind of hard to tell as its hard to know what the originals actually sounded like at the time.

Imagine you had a load of alnico speakers from the late 50s and early 60s and you listened to them all over and over again until you had an idea of what the common sonic characteristics were. Then you tried to make a new speaker that sounded like all of the best bits of those old ones, using modern materials that have been made to look and sound as "aged" as possible. It's kinda like that.

@@ZillaCabs Truth.

@@CelestionUK stop trying to sell them to me haha ;) we're really liking it.

We've got some WGS stuff coming.

@@ZillaCabs right on! Been watching a lot of your guys videos cause I just built a cab of my own for a couple WGSs I got a huge deal on. Ended up only spending ~$160 for an orange ppc212 esque closed back cab. Already had all the materials on hand. I just wanted a mono cab so just ended up using a boat style jack from an old strat for the input lmao. Actually looks cool. And I’m currently watching the video of converting a combo amp into a head for the cab I just built, it’s super insightful! I’m gonna try it on an old amp I have and match the wood and grill cloth to my new cab. God bless! Keep doing what you guys are doing!

On this one it was an SM57, but we often use an OC18 and SM57 mixed together.
