Hey all,
I am going to swap the Blue Marvel out of my Peavey Classic 30 and replace it with a Celestion Greenback or the G12H30. I am play an SG Standard and I am looking for that early Cream, early ZZ Top mojo. Hard rock and dirty power blues. Want tones to be warm, creamy, buttery and chewy. You think I'm heading down the right path with these two models? The stock Peavey doesn't cut it...bass is flabby.

Yes...you're heading down the right path. The Greenback sounds great in a sealed 4 x 12 Marshall style cab...in an open back cab it will outperform most stock speakers but it doesn't have quite the same deep bass in an open back cab as it does in a sealed cab. For that reason, I'd recommend the G12H30: it has more bass and a fuller tone in an open back combo amp than the Greenback. Lew
