Perfect! I love the way my shiva sounds with my Marshall greenback loaded 412, even more than with my v30 Bogner 412. It cuts better and just sounds knarlier. I have a mojo/Marshall blues breaker style cab that also has greenbacks. The shiva sounds great w this cab too but I can't turn it up that loud so I ordered a pair of creams to load into a Bogner os 212 I just scored.
They sound awesome! Not quite as crispy as the greens but definitely brighter than the v30's. I'll get to try it in a band mix tonight, that will be the real test. So far I could not be happier. Greenback tone, slightly smoother with a lot more bass handling.
I'll be selling my v30's to fill my Bogner 412 with creams or maybe a mix of creams and h30's.
 
Hmm..,Creambacks;I haven't thought of those yet(XTC/6L6-amp).I'm kinda fixated on alnico stuff,at the mo'. however.....hmmm
Guess that your set-up,Paired with h30's/cream is gonna be well into smooth territory.
Enjoy your more portable 212! and ta for your observations :)
 
Still liking this set up? Typically, you need V30s, CL80s, K100s or similar speakers in smaller cabs to sound full and big......so I am surprised you like the Creams in the 212. I find V30s in a 212 cab far too bright these days, so I may go to something darker like Lynchbacks.
 
Do you find the V30s brighter than the Creambacks? The Creamback M65 lacks low end! I ended up using the Lynchback!
