1960BC (or BX) (Straight 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!
