The Most Underrated Celestion? T-75 vs The Modern Heavyweights

Today I’m comparing the Celestion G12T-75 with several of my favourite speakers in a full low-tuned metal mix. This whole video started by accident: I picked up two unused T-75s from a Marshall 1960 cab for 70€ and thought, "Let’s just test them quickly." Well… that turned into a complete multi-speaker shootout. I’ll walk you through the test setup, the raw tones, the solo tracks, and the blends. All recordings are dual-mic’d, gain-matched, phase-aligned and processed through my analog stereo chain, so the differences you hear are actually from the speakers, not loudness. Processing info: Each stereo guitar speaker bus runs through SSL UV EQ and a touch of Tegeler Creme compression. Minimal digital tone shaping (Hi- and Lo-Cut). Speakers tested: • Celestion G12T-75 (two units: one broken-in, one basically new) • Eminence Karnivore (2025) • Eminence DV-77 • Celestion Vintage 30 (2005) • Celestion Greenback (2005 UK) My personal takeaway: The Karnivore and Vintage 30 delivered the most mix-ready punch. The T-75 surprised me, especially blended with the DV-77, but also on itself. But tone is personal. Trust your own ears. 👉 Vote for your favourite blend in the comments.
