I have a couple of G12-H 30 70th anniversary speakers in a zilla cab. It sounds good to me but I know there a lot of different versions of the G12-h and wondered about these.
First of all am I right in thinking that in general a G12-H is what used to be called a greenback, when it was green of course. These are kind of cream so I guess they are the creambacks.
Are the 70th anniversary considered good versions of these speakers and how do they rate in the hierarchy of a good one?
I tend not to use the cab on it's own, I use a blackstar A30 head and for small gigs use the artisan cab loaded with V30's and the 2 cabs together for bigger gigs which sounds fantastic.
No real reason to my question, I'm happy with them - just curious.

Admittedly mine were brand new when i tried them so weren't broken in, but at the same time all the other speakers i tried were similarly new and I didn't have that problem. Obviously that's not foolproof because there's not much point in liking how a speaker sounds out of the box and hating it when it's broken-in, lol.
I do like it combined with other speakers (greenback is the classic example), but on its own I liked the heritage (55Hz) a lot better. I've said this before but I like the tayden great brit for a more heritage-style g12h30-type speaker without paying heritage prices.
