25 watt Greenbacks for distorted tones

I use a 30 watt amp and these speakers a real good sounding if your in to vintage gear.

Four 25W Celestion Greenbacks make this cabinet a joy to play through. Warm, articulate with a bit of earlier break-up. Coupled with a Marshall SLP100, it is one of the best sounds ever to a musician's ears. I've used it with amps from 1W to 100W and it just shines in all applications. Mine is 18 years old and it just gets better with age.

Mine is loaded with Celestion Vintage 30´s speakers. I actually wanted an Engl cabinet but they were a bit too expensive for me.
