No they don't. Celestion G12H30's, G12 alnicos and G1265's don't fart out the way cheap Italian made Jensens do.
I have a small stash of original Chicago made Jensens from the 50's and 60's - those used in the Fender amps of the 50's and 60's: P10R, C12N, etc. The Italian made Jensens don't sound much like them.
You've all heard Robben Ford right? Amazing jazz blues guitarist who knows all the chords. He's using Celestion G1265's with his Dumble. Never sounds like he's playing through a Marshall...not that that would be a bad thing.
