That's a cool old beast of an amp, I like your ideas for personalisation, a couple of celestion greenbacks might go well with it

Whichever speakers I end up using, I need to make sure that the speaker impedance is no less than 4 Ohms, and that the power handling is at least 160 Watts or greater, will a pair of Celestion Greenbacks handle that much power?, also I'm wondering how much that'll cost me all up.
same here Doc I have only heard good things about Celestions.
Might be a cheaper option to ask your local music store to keep an eye out for any old speaker cabs with Celestions maybe a trade in

I hope there's not a sale soon, I already have one kit still in box untouched and several lengths of nice timber lying around in transformative states approaching guitardom, I don't think I need to add to that. Yet.
Back on topic, I am familiar with Celestion, will be very interested to see how your project pans out Doc!

Hey Franken (Doc seems to attract thread jackers hahaha) I think there maybe an August PBG sale for it's 4th birthday but will wait for Ads to announce it, I have no idea if he is but it's a hunch !
