    “5 different guitars through 5 different amps 5 different stylistic bits through each speaker”... man you deserve a medal!

    Just wanted to say thanks to Pete for doing this. It is such a great demonstration of the tone variation that can come from your speakers. I'll be buying a pair of Scumbacks and I'm sure I'll still be coming back to this video to check it out in the future.

    I have a 4x12 w/ M-75s and H75s in an X pattern and it slays! I also have a 2x12 w/Scumnicos and it provides some warmth and fatness. Your demo really highlights the differences and the strengths of each speaker, Pete. Thanks for your great work and passion!

    Pete, Wanted to drop a line to commend you on always doing your best in demoing various products to show the products in as fair and unbiased a light as possible. I appreciate your professionalism and obvious dedication to presenting the average musician with the tools needed to choose what is the best bang for our bucks. In this day and age, with resources so tight it means a lot. Keep up the great work. Oh yeah, I really dig your feel and use of interesting melodies. It's truly inspirational.

    Another great demo from Pete Thorn. Petes demos are so clear and easy to understand. Aside from his fantastic career as a player he has taught so many guitarists the ABC's of tone. I stand in respect and admiration for Petes expertise and positive energy.
    Regards
    Awesome John

    @Stev0BabaGhanoush 8 років тому +6

    Both of the J75s sound SO good to me. Mids scooped JUST enough. Wonderful sounding speaker. I wasn't wild about my M75, so maybe the J is the answer.

  • @JamesMcCutcheon
    @JamesMcCutcheon 7 років тому

    I am major impressed with the SB and the fact they put some information on the speaker so you know what it is! What I noticed the variance in clean to distortion the speaker does not loose control and go bright, hollow or bass and NO ARTIFACT SOUNDS! THAT is a MAJOR PLUS!

  • @Ragnarok0Aeirk
    @Ragnarok0Aeirk 11 років тому +1

  • @SFolkes97
    @SFolkes97 13 років тому +1

    Wish all YT demos were done as well as he does his. Pete's point about speakers being the final filter is well taken. I have taken to using heads/cabs instead of combos largely because I can mix and match. Guitarists are SO lucky today - so much good stuff available. You can get outstanding tone even with cheaper gear - speakers play a big part.

    Love the Fastway t-shirt! Saw them open for Rainbow back in the day...they recorded some awesome songs in the short amount of time they were around. Anyway, "say what you will" this is a very nice sounding speaker ;-)

  • @JoseyStranded
    @JoseyStranded 9 років тому +7

    To my tinnitus infested ears the H75 sounds very well balanced throughout. At least with the Les Paul. I feel that it could be a great sounding speaker to use with a Plexi / JMP 2203 and low to moderate output humbuckers. Very helpful test. Thanks.

    • @jamesg7456
      @jamesg7456 6 років тому +1

      i have the h75 with a marshall and LP and it is the best sounding speaker i've ever heard. Balanced is a good word to describe it. It is very full sounding and balanced

    • @timothyjay2012
      @timothyjay2012 6 років тому

      Josey Stranded I have the H and M 75's and if you Love the Classic Greenback tone like I do the H75 is gonna be a little to harsh for your desires. I can't handle the H75 even mixed in with the M75 and G12 - M 25 Celestion's!!! Just my opinion of course. I can't say enough about the M75 Scumback though!!! Best speaker I've ever used!!!

  • @gorillafunk725

    M75 would be my choice.

  • @warmothgmc
    @warmothgmc 5 років тому +3

    For the cleaner passages, I liked the J’s and the scumnico. Once you start adding gain and saturation, I’ll take the M75-65.

  • @hoplophobe
    @hoplophobe 5 років тому +1

    Great video! Would that every comparison video be this thorough. I bought the J75 based on this. Sounds great with my mini Dirty Shirley head and Les Pauls.

  • @jasonbutler419
    @jasonbutler419 13 років тому +3

    Thanks for this video...... Been thinking about changing my speakers, but this made me think again... I've got a 4X12 with two Scumback M75's and two H75's..... just don't think I'm going to get better than that

  • @Incountry
    @Incountry 4 роки тому +3

    I’m a Weber Ceramic speaker in preference, but, in a single cab with these it has to be the J75..!
    In a 4 cab, I’d have a J75 in top left and bottom right with a H75 in the opposites, as the J75 has a cleaner high end that’s very defined, the H75s have a midrange drive, thus the combination will cover all clean tones as well as overdriven with the Low end EQ’d just right if you want to put the Metal in your Heavy..!!!

  • @emreemre369
    @emreemre369 6 років тому

    Well I would take the M75 all things equal. But I am getting an amp (Dirty Shirley Mini) that can have a flabby bass/overly dark sound problem under some circumstances, so I am thinking the H is a better idea? I am not sure...

  • @karolkozak64
    @karolkozak64 8 років тому

    hi Pete, amazing demos.
    Do you think the H75 could handle modern rock/alternative vibes where the sound remains full and still defined + cuts in a band mix? I'm playing a 7string and would love to try 2 H75s paired with 2 V30s in my orange cab.
    I'd like to reduce the amount of harsh treble/presence (running an AMTP2 pedal into the return of a JVM 205H 50w el34) Need to balance things out and get a broader sound that's not piercing, but each note has defined cut and weight :)

  • @TheCheshireGoat
    @TheCheshireGoat 8 років тому

    Pete - great demo! Which Scumback would you recommend for a Badger 30 combo for good classic rock tones? The Veteran 30 speaker has way too much harshness for me.

  • @vintagekory
    @vintagekory 13 років тому +3

    Thank God someone as good as Pete Thorn did a demo for scumback!! I have a scumback M75 and H75 in a vintage avatar cab. I also have a collection of real vintage celestions: one 1968 g12m, one 1971 g12m, two 1973 g12m, and one 1974 g12m. They ALL sit in their boxes since I got scumbacks. They're too valuable to blow and the scumbacks mic up just too good.

    The M75 seems like it's the perfect balance between all the frequencies. It's warm and pleasant yet it seems like it still has no problem cutting through the mix. M75 is the speaker for me man.

  • @underpressureman
    @underpressureman 4 роки тому

    Hey Pete. I'm looking to get a set of speakers for a Framus Dragon 412 Cab, and I want to get something other than Celestions, just to have something different in one of my cabs. I play mostly Punk/Hard Rock/Metal and also I will be recording with it more than playing live so a mix of speakers could be a thing as well. I am thinking either Warehouse, Eminence, or Scumbacks. Any suggestions? I have quite a few amps but my main rig for my personal sound(when not recording others) is A Marshall Jcm 900 or a Marshall Jcm 900 mixed with a Dual Rec or a Diezel .

  • @ScottyWig
    @ScottyWig 13 років тому

    Thank you Pete for a great review of the Scumbacks, to my ear I like the low end of the J75 LHC, it would be great to have a 2-12 cabinet with one of those and a H75 I bet.

  • @AdamRainStopper
    @AdamRainStopper 12 років тому

    I relearned the lesson today about AlNiCo speakers. They squeeze nicely in a way that makes anything from clean to crunch ready to mix with zero post-processing/compression, BUT, with anything higher gain (the Les Paul demo, EVH guitar, explorer) it just smooths out the attack a bit too much. For pushed reggae clean to Joe Strummer crunch, I LOVE my 1x10+1x15 cab (a P10-Q and a P15-R in a solid pine trapezoidal tower) but for high-gain stuff, my G12T75 and seventy-80 mini-stack is it for me.

  • @ski5150

  • @rickyrodam
    @rickyrodam 12 років тому +3

    Hey Pete, THANKS for all your demos! Here's the thing, I have a Fender Deluxe Rev. (77' silverface), and I used to love the sound of the original speaker... But IT DIED. I replaced it but the sound of the new "replica" sounded too bright and harsh for my taste and in comparison with the original one. What would you recommend for a classic versatile tone in this kind of amps?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

  • @-thirteen
    @-thirteen 11 років тому +1

    Between the J and J large dust cap, I hear much more harmonic content on the Large Dust cap. I heard more of that same goodness in the H75. i wonder if The H with the large dust cap would have more layered tasty

  • @1980hardhitter
    @1980hardhitter 8 років тому

    Such a tough choice. I think the M75 or the J with large cap sounded best. Leaning towards the M75 because it just sounds darker and more evil but I have a Rev 2 uber and that amp has a massive low end.

  • @LPMojoGL
    @LPMojoGL 13 років тому

    Awesome demo, like all of your demos. I liked the M75 the best. It is well balanced and musical. I liked the Scumnico in the "rootsy" clip with the Tele. The J75 was the best in the metal clip. I want the M75 to mix with a V30 in a 2x12.

  • @Jeepjones85
    @Jeepjones85 12 років тому +3

    I like the m75 and the scumnico 12 they sound great!
    I guess I could be like Eric Johnson and have two different speakers in one 2x12 combo amp. And have a great tone lol

  • @sparknado
    @sparknado 7 років тому +1

    5:50 is just it for me - sounds great. I bet a Scumnico and m75 or h75 would sound nice together. Sort of like the g12h30 and Blue combo

    • @JimijaymesProductions
      @JimijaymesProductions 6 років тому

      That what I think I will get in my next 212 cab eventually, I figure a good balance of chimey highs with nicer extended top end and solid low end.

  • @Millo1868
    @Millo1868 8 років тому

    Now I'm more confused...Blackback M75, BM55? J55? WGS ET65? This is for a Chinese EL84 1x12 combo that has beautiful cleans but needs help creating a larger and tighter bottom end overall, and a little help on smoothing out the top end when distorted.

  • @longotown
    @longotown 13 років тому

    Great comparison - I thought I would like the Alnico more - but your favorite may be the overall winner, sounds like less involved eq work to get all the overtones. Very in your face whithout a raspy sort of tone. Great!

  • @RhettHours
    @RhettHours 12 років тому

    @sinasl1 Pete thanks so much for this comparison, it really cleared up a ton of questions I had about these speakers. I understand the M75 is the closest thing to a vintage Greenback out there. Is this true in your experiences? I was also curious as to whether you have tried the 25 watt version, or the large dust cap version of this speaker since you made the video. I'm really looking for a dark speaker thats easy on the high end.

  • @eyedunno8462
    @eyedunno8462 5 років тому

    Concur with Pete's ear - the M75 is the sweet spot amongst the Scumbacks. All have a measure more this or that, the M75 is exceptionally balanced overall

  • @gearoftones8585

  • @chrislangdell117

    The large dust cap sounded slightly better for the medium break up hard rock. The H75 sounded the best with the Explorer. Droped C distortion. Very nice Harmonics. Pretty impressive review.

  • @johnosstreeter
    @johnosstreeter 13 років тому

    never heard you play metal before, true allrounder you are.
    i like the M75 on cleans and the j75 big cap on the C tuned metal, the others i wouldnt use myself as im a metal guy. the speakers also seem to be at different volume, probably due to sensitivity. but great demo as allways. thanks pete.

  • @ww8wv1
    @ww8wv1 4 роки тому +1

    Sound as with most things are simply subjective to a persons personal taste... in the first two examples I thought the J75 LHDC sounded the best and the last 3 examples the H75 won out. Overall they ALL sounded great though.

  • @AndyK.23
    @AndyK.23 12 років тому

    Great demo Pete! To me, the H sounded more in-front and crunchy, and it made the M sound muffled, especially on the higher gain samples. Unless in the room, the M sounds balanced, and the H mid-heavy, like a V30??

  • @Jakexx01
    @Jakexx01 12 років тому +2

    Were the speakers provided by Scumback broken in? If they weren't and you've been playing your M75 for a while that would be a bit of a fly in the ointment so to speak. Great test! i always look forward to your videos. Thanks.

      Scumbacks M75PVC or M55PVC, you get the full spectrum and great use of your tone knobs on your amp. I had the "J" a little to bright and somewhat stiff.

    @CatDieselPwr 12 років тому

    Most definitely the J75LHDC, it sounds fantastic and rolls off the piercing highs and to me causes no strain or fatigue whatsoever and just sounds killer. Listened thru AKG K240mkii which are ugly as sin but sound very nice. But what do I know, I ran heavy equipment most of my life with no earplugs lol.

    Standard J75 all the way. It's like a cross between a Greenback and Vintage 30. Biting and growling, yet smooth and bassy.
