I have just ordered a small cab with a G12M Greenback.
I am curious what it will sound like. I'll post some clips in 3 weeks when it should arrive.

Mine Greenback cab has more hi end and different low end (probably due to different cab design), overall I would say more Fenderish sounding. I know it sounds stupid but that's how I feel about it.

A little help from Celestion site... Example: 2 X 4 Ohm Speaker = 8 Ohm Load 2 X 8 Ohm Speaker = 16 Ohm Load 2 X 16 Ohm Speaker = 32 Ohm Load or Example: 2 X 4 Ohm Speaker = 2 Ohm Load 2 X 8 Ohm Speaker = 4 Ohm Load 2 X 16 Ohm Speaker = 8 Ohm Load

There is something wrong with me because I think the 1265 is dark sounding and doesn't sound good with a strat? Whateva.
Please don't take that as a personal attack on you. In my non English way, I just wanted to say that before people start discarding something, they should try it out and only than they'll be able to say something works or not. No one can do that for them. All we can do is pass some biased opinions (including me!!) and thats all.

I'm not an expert but HRM would definitely change the character of OTS... Just a few comments from the ampgarage.... ( I hope I can do that : ) ...non-HRM - it is easy to get rich singing sustain. The HRM is less distortion like and much more dependent on touch for overdrive tonality....non-HRM is not gritty or buzzy but it is more distorted sounding at lower drive settings - in a good way. One cannot really imitate the other. The non-HRM emphasizes the mid harmonics more. To confuse you even more - Blues gig = non-HRM and Fusion gig = HRM of course this is just MHO.There is more but I think those two comments sums it up nicely.

This was posted on the Ampgarage wiki page...
Hot Rubber Monkey, aka. Hot Rodded Marshall, refers to the post overdrive tone stack which is used to scoop and shape the overdrive tone. This standard FVM (Fender, Marshall, Vox) type tone stack is connected after the final gain stage in the overdrive section of the Dumble style amp. Standard values would be a 500pF treble cap, .022uF mid and bass caps, a 33k slope resistor, 1M bass pot, 20k mid pot and 250k treble pot. It is installed on a small board using trim pots that are "set and forget".
Typical adjustments are done by first setting the bass pot to the point where it just starts adding bottom, setting the mid pot at the 1/2 way point, and the treble pot slightly above the mid point, approx 135k. From this point you can adjust to taste, keeping in mind that these pots are very sensitive and interactive.

...cmon people 1265 is not a bad speaker. Tone is a very personal thing and what is awesome to one person, can be a complete disappointment for others. This speaker has been proven many many times and if it sounds bad, my vote is there is something wrong with you and not with the gear.

Don't worrie... everybody who ordered from Nik eventually got the product. I know, I know I'm being a little roguish. I'm the last person who could say such a thing, I have no patience at all, I was hardly able to wait on my turn.

...exactly what erwin said. I'm also hoping for smaller volume jump from clean to OD. Currently I'm waiting for the parts, once I have it, I'll report back about my findings.
