For a single 12 application, I've had the G12-65 side by side with an EVM12L and the EV sounded better hands down to me. The 65 sounded fine....before comparing it.

Tonespotters work well in general with D type amps, but the Overtone seems to really love the EVM even more so than other D amps I've used.

I agree - the EVM-12L is my preferred speaker also. I compared it with Celestion greenback, vintage 30, and classic lead 80, Eminence Red Fang, Mesa Boogie's black shadow.

The cleans and OD from the EVM are stellar.

Just to clear something up, is the G1265 that everyone keeps mentioning, the Celestion Heritage G12-65?

Yep- that's the one- though I recently lucked out and got 4 x G12-65's very cheaply second hand for £22.50 each (date codes say 1979 Shocked

) via eBay- I've just wired 'em up tonight into my old 1969 Marshall 4x12 & lit the fuse on the Overtone and stood well back! Truth is I'm still replacing the ornaments that flew off the wall - Glorious! Chair Dance

Moral: Well worth scouting around second hand for originals - the new one's are around £68+P&P each...

Has anyone tried the Celestion Neodynium G12 Century Vintage speakers?

Any thoughts on how they'd sound in a 2x12" with the Overtone?

I have a JBL E120 that I've used in many combo amps I've had for that past 13 years or so. I think I'm going to put that in a 1 12 cab and see how it goes. I wonder if anybody else has tried this speaker out with the OTS. I think I'm gonna want a ported 1 12 cab. I'm also curious what folks here are using for their cabinet of choice in a 1 12 format.

Thanks to Gbergl and fullerplast I tried an EVM-12L. Grin

It is great as a 1 x 12. Space was an issue for me so this served my purpose and it is full sounding. The g12-65 is nice but not as versatile..

The EVM .....What a speaker too! Built like a tank.......

I'm so glad I came across this speaker.

I'm glad you like it. The EVM-12L serves me well.
