WTB 12" Celestion Redback and/or Copperback speaker

allen

Hi there,

Looking for one or both of these for my Mesa Lonestar 100w rehousing project. Just kicked off the cabinet work so now need to source a speaker(s) for a 1 x 12 cab - has to be 8 ohm.

My understanding of the internet stuff on this (and reading the EQ curves) is that the Redback is a high power British sounding speaker and the Copperback is Celestion's attempt to do more of an EV type of thing.

Anyhow, might be worth trying both and selling anything that I don't like.

Will have a couple of Celestion Black Shadows to sell if all goes ahead. Would have used these, but 'only' rated at 90w.

Cheers,
Allen

The redback is excellent , it replaced an EV12L that i had in a zilla cab and now lives in my jvm combo. They're still inexpensive unlike the EV's . The EV is the only piece of guitar kit i ever sold and made a profit !
