It makes my Rick jingle jangle, my Fender Strats and Telecasters sing and my Les Pauls roar. It’s a little heavy but it can be moved by one or two guys. There’s enough handles on it. I love it, still gigging at 70 yrs old and no intentions of retiring from it. I told the guys in the band if I go to collapse on stage “ Save the Guitar “. Lol and that’s no joke !!!

The blues aren't actually much brighter. They get the reputation for being more chimey, but honestly the bigger difference with them from a greenback is the tighter bass response. That's what makes the treble frequencies seem more accentuated. Both are valid speakers for Vox amps, and I personally think the greenback is a more balanced speaker for the modern Vox amps. 15:07 Actually, the treble and bass controls both control the mids of the tone stack. You joke, but I'm serious. The top boost circuit works that way. If you push the knobs above 12 o'clock, you begin to decrease mids. The inverse is true as well. One of my fav sounds with my AC30TB/6 is bass all the way down, and treble back to taste. It creates a wild clean sound.

As the owner of two '66 AC30s, a '74 AC30, and a Rose Morris 80s era AC30; as well as a newer Korg Vox AC30 and a AC15HW, I can tell you that the modem Vox amps sound NOTHING like the originals - Blues loaded or otherwise. The closest Korg/Vox came to sounding like a JMI era AC30 was their AC30CC line which I believe was discontinued in 2010 to cut costs, but even then several mods needed to take place to sound like an AC30. If you were to play the Chinese Made Vox and then play the JMI or Rose Morris Vox you would hear a significant difference.

I'm a Vox fanatic (ac15c1 my favorite) and always bought a blue to run in a speaker cabinet in stereo with the amp's green speaker. It's the only clean sound that can top a Roland Jazz Chorus. I always knew the green had the edge for distorted tones (but not night and day) but in YOUR test I was surprised to find I liked the tone of the green for cleans. That said, it's a) not a fair test when the speakers aren't broken in, since they're not in their "prime" out of the box which means their tonal character is very different, and b) my FAVORITE Vox tone is with a strat in the 4 position (neck/mid pup together) and that's the benchmark I use in gauging clean Vox tones because nothing brings out that patented Vox chime quite like it. Another variable are the tubes which greatly affect tone. I have a nice collection of NOS tubes from the 50s/60s/70s that really change everything. In my tests, the green can't touch the blue in cleans. I also switched that reverb tank out fast, didn't care for it. Still though I found your out of the box test interesting, thanks for taking the time to do it. (PS: I'm listening on 8 inch M-Audio studio monitors)

The VOX can be a little smother, mellow, darker than the Fenders. It's a little easier to fight the 'fizz' you get with modern distortion or playing at low volume.

the blue seams rounder and maybe more depth. I have the green backs and while some my roll there eyes, I crank the reverb to 3 o clock and push the bass past the tremble. I also have been using a slit adaptor so I can jump the channels and I dig it.

Every year or so I swap between the blue and green in my amp. They both have something I like. I made 2 cabs I use with another amp that uses a 12 inch green and a 10 inch gold alnico. They sound good when you can pair a greenback with an alnico.

That was a fun video. I liked the sound of B, which turned out to be the blue. I picked up an AC15 head a couple of weeks ago. One of my two holy grail amps. The other is a Fender Princeton Reverb, which I picked up a couple of months ago. (It’s been a hell of year, and I’m indulging myself a bit) I haven’t been able to play through the AC15 yet, for lack of a speaker cab. But I do have a Celestion 12” Goldback that I found on side of the highway a while back, next to its smashed cabinet and twin brother. I’m going to build a cabinet for the Goldback, plug the AC15 head into it, and make some noise. 😁

Preferred B, as to me it sounded clearer with more cut and punch - crisper and more cutting. Not much in it tbh and given the price difference the A speaker is better value for money. I do like VOX amps but only had a solid state modelling one but I thought it was great sound wise if a little complicated on the user panel. The valve/tube AC amps are legendary for good reason - they have a great tone and many famous guitarists have sworn by them.

Word of wisdom to all, get rid of the spade connectors when connecting to a speaker. They need to be soldered. WHEN the spade connectors corrode or lose connection, good bye output transformer. $$$🔥🔥🔥

@@landonbailey it depends. It could last a while or it could not. It could shake loose. It could last long enough to corrode. It’s the unpredictability that makes its unreasonable. I can trust a solder joint for a LONG time. It’s a simple tasks too so idk why amp manufacturers use spade connectors when the consequences of one of them coming loose would cost the musician a lot of money.

Oh, I liked the original speaker. Both sound great, but it felt like the green back had just a touch more tight definition.. probably imperceptible live of course, but in a quiet back to back comparison, there was a touch more clarity to the original speaker

I preferred the Green. It had a little more chime clean. Dirty the Green seemed a little tighter also. I had Vox tube amp. But the Blue upgrade does not sound better to me. On the other hand, my guitar is very bright, so the Blue might sound better in person.
