Ower of Brunetti singleman 30, which is a boutique version of a Deluxe Reverb with a hint of Dumble, I love the amp. It is loaded with a V30 which I find too focused in the medium and would like to add some sparkle and balance. I use a low or mid gain overdrive pedals such as a Jan Ray clone but I also use a Barber direct Drive to have more gain. I don’t use fuzz, I play mostly blues, mainly Texas blues and modern blues, Jazz and Southern blues rock at time. I am seriously thinking of buying a G12C/s. I am more a single coil man and my favorite guitar is a telecaster 62 custom reissue. Can you confirm my choice or am I being wrong? Thanks for answering.
The G12 smooth cone would add a ton of woody, wooly tone, but is a very dark speaker, so definitely not what you want to get “sparkle”!
I totally get what you mean about the V30 having too much mid focus … and …
your best option by a mile is the blackhawk HP … pure MAGIC in a Deluxe … and yeah baby will it bring the “balance” you’re looking for!
If ya can’t afford alnico, then an ET65 is the best option … and defiantly should still achieve your desired outcome quite nicely.
