Hellatone 30 in Blues Jr.?

[Dave]

Hi guys-

Any thoughts on this speaker for my Blues Jr.?

Re: Hellatone 30 in Blues Jr.?

should work fine ... it's about the right power for that amp

I've tried a lot of different ODs, and I think it sounds great, but I play at home, and lately I hardly ever use any pedals.

I turn the master to 10, the volume to 4 or 5, leave the fat switch down, and just play.

mine has a Jensen C12N RI and sounds great, although others have found that speaker bright in that amp ... I think it probably depends on the version you have.

Isn't the Hellatone 30 just a Chinese made Celestion Vintage 30, distressed acetone treated cone, then relabeled Hellatone 30? I think so.

It should just sound like a broken in Vin 30. My ears are used to Vin 30's, so I know I'd like the effect it has on a Blues Jr. It just lends a little more British flavor to an American amp.

Joe,
it may seem a little confusing, but the Hellatone 30 is made from a G12H30; the Hellatone 60 is the Vintage 30 version. They're named after the power rating.

Ah, I knew I should have checked the Avatar site before commenting.
If I ever buy any speakers to add to my cabs, they'll either be G12H30's or the Hellatone 30's. I just haven't, because my cabs sound fine with all Vin 30's.
