Music Ground JMI 30/6 into a pair of 1967 Celestion Alnico Silvers
This capture is based on my JMI 30/6 loaded with a clean pair of 1967 Celestion Alnico Silvers. This particular amp was built by Steve Giles when he still worked at Music Ground, before the quality control there declined. Its design is a part-for-part reconstruction of an early ’60s AC30 and it sounds noticeably massive compared to almost any amp it’s put up against. It has a robust low-end weight, an interestingly textured midrange and top end, and a breakup that is raw and aggressive.
The 1967 Alnico Silvers are quite special speakers. You may think they sound just like or similar enough to Celestion Alnico Blues but they are quite drastically different in their EQ and breakup response. The Silvers offer a very balanced and full EQ with an extremely tasteful midrange forwardness and “wide open” top end texture that breaks apart transients making whatever is played through them feel clear yet smooth. They never get pokey or harsh and also hold a weight that you may not expect. This capture pack comes with two variations of the Celestion Alnico Silver. One has its original Pulsonic 75hz cone which gives it its legendary character and the other has a 55hz cone. The 55hz cone, technically being a bass speaker, gives you the Alnico Silver character but shifts the eq in an interesting way.
This combo is perfect if you want the traditional AC30 sound with the unique EQ size of the JMI paired with the addicting texture of the Celestion Alnico Silvers.
The amp was tube rolled to achieve the most balanced eq and tasteful breakup response.
This purchase includes two captures using a Shure 545 into an API 512c preamp.
V2 captures do not include lifetime updates. Lifetime updates were limited to V1 capture purchases.
