Owner of a Mesa Boogie Rectifier cabinet with four Celestion Vintage 30 HP, I felt the need to change it after carefully compared to another cabinet Mesa Boogie Road King version with four semi-open HP Celestion Vintage 30 and two two C90 Black Shadow, a model derived from the Classic Lead 80.
It turned out that my cabinet if I passed easily through a mix, my sound was obviously filled with medium, rather harsh, and lacking in bass. The overall sound was very dynamic and well-defined, but I found more roundness on the Road King cabinet than mine. That's when I decided to change two of my HP.
I would not turn my four HP as Vintage 30 has undeniable qualities as to their presence and their dynamics, I had rather they try to find a pair of another model that would be complementary.
After some research, my choice was the Celestion G12K-100 to display characteristics: clarity and great response and definition in the bass detail that interests me because I play point given a half tone below the standard tuning.
After the change, I understand the difference and I found what was advertised: a clearer sound, more rounded and "wrapped" with bass present. However, I also notice that I am much less present in the mix so I had to edit my equalizer to not fall by the wayside when I am in band! I also think it has been wise to keep two Vintage 30 if the lack of attendance could ultimately disappoint me despite the other qualities of the G12K-100, because that is their main weakness: a lack of media presence and thus . However, coupled with Vintage 30 or more other HP media loaded, it has a more "full" and richer configuration with a uniform made of a single model of HP. Then the rest is a matter of equalization.
Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the change, I played a bass and clarity, and the loss of presence is compensated without regard to the equalizer as I said. I also states that the change is evident both in distortion that sounds clear with them that we gain roundness, which is very significant from my point of view.
I would add that I play mostly metal and I find this composition particularly useful for this style, but I can not be so positive for other guitar players practicing, it will be necessary to clearly define their needs precisely the advice Celestion G12K-100 for the Metal and the guitarists' down-tuned, "to wit. That said, nothing prevents using it for a different style, of course.
