1960AC (or AX) (Angled
Version loaded with Celestion 25W "Greenbacks"): tonally, this
falls somewhere between the 1960A's brightness and the 1960AV's warmth.
Greenbacks have a very distinctive sound with a fast, snappy response
that adds detail and dynamics to both clean and distorted playing. Obviously,
for a vintage/Hendrix type tone, Greenbacks are the way to go...duh! Heavily
distorted lead lines sound extremely full too, but when these speakers
are driven really hard, they can get rather piercing and thin. Due to
the fact that a 100W Marshall amp will kick out far more than 100 Watts
when cranked to the max, we do NOT recommend a 100W head is used with
a 1960AC or BX as a halfstack, if the head is going to be turned up to
"eleven!" (unless a powerbrake is being used, of course). Such
a set-up might sound wonderful but there's a fine line between clever
and stupid and doing this crosses it...unless the user doesn't mind the
inconvenience and expense of replacing blown speakers!
