A question for Vaughn if he happens to grab hold of this one. I have a 1965A. Vaughn i think you might have the bottom cab, a B. So your very familiar with the cabinet! Perfect! I play a 25 watt EL84 powered Mesa. I need a stellar clean which i use alot, and a nice crunchy overdrive. Not super high gain at all. Really nice cleans, blues and classic rock. Thats me to a tee. I dont want to make the cab too heavy and im getting rid of a 300 watt quad with 12s because of weight and volume issues. The original celestions are nice but im after an improvement. What ya reckon? Vets? Thanks in advance. James.
Gotcha … and yea, I have a 1965B.
Sooo … I was all ready to jump all over a quad of G10C’s … untill I read “of weight and volume issues” … those would be LOUD and fairly heavy !
So, man a quad of good old Vet 10s! They will sound GREAT in a closed-back 4x10 … and they are very light … SCORE!!
Brilliant. Now im also lucky enough to have two of these cabs. For number two rig i would like to leave the cab as it is. So the original G10 L35s. However im planning to put a 1 x 12 open back cab UNDER the 1965 to really fill out the sound. I have an ET90 in a cab, which i adore by the way, but when i put the two together the ET90 is waaay out in front. I mean by a mile! I need something with a lower SPL. The original celestions are only 95db i believe. Anything come to mind? Thanks in advance. Love your work!!
I’m going et65. And yes I read your mind.
