just got me a set of hellatone 60s. NICE!

[cliff hetfield]

i was a bit wary about buying a set of celestion V30s due to the reputed "icepick highs" and some harshness, especially when new. so the hellatones were recommended to me for that reason.
its true what they say. its warm and smooth and sweet sounding even during the first trial. im very pleased with them. i have 2 of them in a 2X12 cab and i have 2 old celestion G12M70s in another 2X12. when the 2 cabs are used together its pretty well balanced and tight sounding. i guess the celestions give me lows and highs while the hellatones give a beautiful, rich middle.
ill be replacing the celestion g12m70s in time. im considering the black shadow C90s or maybe a set of hellatone 60Ls (hellatone 60s with extra low end)...or maybe a C90 and a hellatone 60L paied together. ive read about the C90s being tight in the lows. gotta keep the lows tight for that heavy metal-ish thump we all know and love.
any advice here on the other set of speakers?

but yeah, hellatone 60s are warm as hell and smoothly balanced. im very pleased with them. you probably would be too.

I have a pair of Hellatone 60's in a Avatar 2x12 that sounds sweet. Nice and tight!

cool chewie. how do you like the tremoverb. im thinking of upgrading to one from my f-50 head. is it basically the same amp as a dual rec? hows the clean?

Interesting ...

so Hellatone are basically "broken-in" Celestions?

I thought Celestion Vintage 30s sound pretty good but they are a bit "ice picky".

But funny, I had my 4x12" (Vintage 30s) for about 5+ years, a friend left his 4x12" of Vintage 30s and his sounds so "ice picky" compared to mine that has been broken in.

Oh, you realize that Tremo-Verb is discountinued[?]. Yeah its pretty close to a Dual Rectifier.

I have the helltones too. If you peel the sticker off the back, you'll see the celestion sticker. Best deal on the planet for celestions IMHO.

ive got 2 hellatone 60s and 2 celestion G1270ts. im replacing the g1270ts soon. any suggestions for speakers?
i love the hellatone 60s, but im considering the hellatone 60Ls. i already have a ton of bass in my rig, so i may not need the Ls. im considering the mesa c90s....hmm. i just dont know. :?:
