Redback

[solarburn]

I just got one. Put it in a 112 cab underneath my SC800H. I play rock to hard rock mostly. Not going for modern heavy by an means.

This thing is an animal! Loving it paired with the toppy bitey 800 epicness. I love the V30 with it too but I'm having a blast ripping this cone of rediculousness. Yay Fucking Celestion! It has "thwack"!

I will be getting a quad of Redbacks and inserting them in my Iconic 412 cab. The cab is a bit toppy/harsh with standard greenbacks or like speakers. Needs a little boost in the ass end.

Found this vid of a 412 of them with a Hammer. Wished he would of show cased soloing a bit more. Oh well still enjoyed his vid. Choice of amp, cab etc

Yeah, Redbacks are nice! Man, a whole 4x12 full of ‘em? You could play two Majors in stereo through the same cabinet!

You are an animal! A madman!

I didn't even know about em' until I saw a Pete Thorne vid where one is used in a 112 Soldano cab. Liked how it sounded and got one. My ears were right!

Yah they should spice that Iconic cab right up.

I know. It's true.

Redback= H30/12-80s nephew on steroids. A little more of everything in the EQ and some roid rage when you wind him up.

I love this description!

A criminally overlooked speaker. You have found a gem.

This made me inventory what I'm using right now.

1. 5153 412- 4 Heritage 20 watt greenies.
2. Orange PPC 412- 2 H30'S/2 V30'S
3. DSL40C - Celestion Gold
4. Monoprice 15 watt combo - Celestion Blue
5. OS 112- Zak Black Label EV
6. BB 112 cab- Redback

Laying around 70/80's, K100, EVH Iconic cab speakers, V series, GB128's, Jenson Falcon.

Also my Redback is revealing more Top end now. In these vids it seems a bit dark to me but I'm getting plenty of full frequency. Little turns from the EQ are noticeable. No over compensating for any at the pots.

Stoked to get 3 more and fill the Iconic 412.

Do not like the Creambacks. Do not like the K100.

Love the Vintage 30 and of course the Redback.

 

[V-man]

sounds good but the 800 IMO is the a poor tester (like Boosts/ODs) as everything sounds good through one.

GBs, 65s, 75s, V30s, K100s, prob some of those 70/80s… whatever we all know more than a few famous artists who did dazzling shit with a 2203/4 and one of these models..

My 1959 has a very different appreciation for pedals and speakers… much more discriminating w both for whatever reasons (Wouldn’t be shocked it might go well with this speaker, but that could depend on the highs.)

I have used Redbacks for a few years now , except , I paired two red backs with two 150 watt 8 ohm Eminence Tonkers and put them in a smaller Marshall 4x12 cab that used to sport 4 35 watt speakers .
Now it's a 600 watt cab that can handle anything you throw at it and ask for more. Absolutely Love Them in this configuration .

Dave Friedman has been using red backs for a while in his higher powered combos . The cream backs were blowing up too regularly and in trying the red back due to its higher power handling discovered that they sounded better as well .

The 'Twin Sister' 40W combo does indeed have a Redback as the stock speaker.
I'm really liking the idea of a 'Twin' channel amp instead of a 'Two' channel amp.
You can set the same channel two different ways.

TWIN SISTER COMBO - Friedman Amplification

Friedman’s popular Dirty Shirley combo was designed for guitarists that wanted a Vintage Classic Rock tone inspired by British tube amps from the 60’s and 70’s. And what’s better than one Dirty Shirley? TWO DIRTY SHIRLEYS! Introducing the Twin Sister!

I’ve recently bought a synergy syn 1 and Friedman BE module which has two identical BE channels which useful in more ways than you’d think 👍
