10 or 12 Cab Speaker

[wazkelly]

That is massive headroom overkill happening there Dave.

35 years ago I used 100W Marshall Super Bass Head with 4 x 12" 25W greenback Celestions Quad Box as it was originally from I was playing guitar. Was so loud it never got anywhere near speaker distortion levels. Mostly played 'just on' somewhere near 1 and on odd occasions bumped up to 2 which had my ears ringing for the next couple of days. Due to inept PA's of that era everything was super loud.

I'm hearing ya Waz, I got them for a good price and they gave me the sonic combination I was looking for so it is what it is

Going to look at a used Vox 1 x 12 cab today. has a Celestion speaker inside - 25watt 16 ohm.

hoping it will sound good with my 15watt tube amp, apparently the strauss amp i got is said to be a clone of the night train 15w so it may pair up nicely 2 12ax7 and 2 EL84

might mean i dont get to DIY the cabinet but thinking it may be good value

Completed speaker cab at the right price = instant fun.

I really like it so far ,played for a few hours yesterday and was able to crank it up to around 3/4 max on both 16 an 8 watts. I think the greenback helps a lot which is way better than anything I've had previously

the guy i bought it from said it was low gain (his other equipment suggested he loves the metal sound) and not his style but i am hearing excellent gainy sounds even on suitable low volume, more so at 8 watts. playing the same old bluesy led zepp stuff I,ve always played sounds so much better, more defined with a cleaner yet crunchy gain. Clean sounds are there too.

I was a bit concerned it may have been too loud for home use, which it can be, however no issues at lower volumes for my ears.

Tried the boss gT6 in front of it just using the distortion chrous and reverb on the bright channel and can get ranges of tones beyond my dreams and ability.

anyway Mrs is going out soon so back to the evil sound den for me.....

Sounds like you are having a ton of fun. Good score on both the head and cabinet.
