tsp17 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 So i dig my Raezer's Edge Stealth 10 cabinet, but i keep yearning for that open back 12 inch speaker sound that i got from my '65 Twin Reverb Reissue. I know, the Twin was 2x12 and i'll never replicate that sound with something else, but i keep thinking that an open back 1x12 will have a little more natural breath and space in the sound. thoughts? Recommendations? What cab? Speaker? KBP?
kbp810 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I'm certainly a fan of the more air being pushed the better - but I'm not entirely sure how that logic stands up against the design of the Raezers edge cab. Sorry, I might not be much help int he suggestion department this time If I were to throw something out there though... I'd say something along the lines of a slightly larger cab, open backed, with a JBL D120 loaded in it.
Kuz Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Actually, the current wave of jazz guitarists seem to prefer the tighter bass from a 1x10. I like the sound of my Heritage archtops through my Headstrong & Carr amps with a 1x12 configuration and I also like them through my '67 Vibrolux 2x10 configuration. I would say if you don't have to modify the cab, then try the 1x12 and see if you like it!!! (but I personally wouldn't modify the cab to try it).
tsp17 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 not thinking about modifying the cab, but adding a 1x12 cab to the stable. my 1x10 does have a very tight bass and i do like that. can't stand a flubby speaker.
yavuz Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I have 2 X Flite Sound Speakers that I use with my Evans AH200 head. They don't make them any more but my speaker enclosure is 4X4.5". It has a very unique sound and It stays tight a high volumes. I also have 2 Evans JE200s each with 12" speakers. I really like their sound with my Guild Blues 90 and my new Millie. I prefer the AH200 head + 4x4.5" flight cab speaker with my 575.
byrdland Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I have a Lopo Line 1x12 convertible cabinet that I usually use open back. I prefer the open back to closed. I use a 12" Weber California speaker with the "H" dome, which is supposed to be warmer than the aluminum or paper domes. It's a great sounding combination. I've used it with Strats and archtops.
DetroitBlues Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Get your self an open back 1x15 cabinet to go with the 1x10 cab. That should be an awesome wall of sound for you!
big bob Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I love the sound of an open back 2 x 12 .... just right.
tsp17 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 I love the sound of an open back 2 x 12 .... just right. Me too. Just too big. Hoping that 1x12 will be close.
smurph1 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 My Cavern Club is a 1x12 open back combo..Sounds HUGE!! The speaker is a Scumback, which is a spot on re-creation of a 60's era Celestion..KBP810 selected it for me, and I LOVE the way it sounds..
DetroitBlues Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 If I'm not mistaken, Jet City makes a 1x12 cabinet that has a removeable rear panel so you can go either open or closed back...
