Eminence Texas Heat vs Eminence Swamp Thang (and how they sound together).
This is a speaker comparison between the Eminence Texas Heat and Eminence Swamp Thang. I wanted to do a much better and more updated video than my original video many years ago! In this video, I test the Eminence Swamp Thang and Texas Heat in both a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue amplifier and a Marshall DSL40CR combo amp.

Great video and thanks for the speaker comparison Shane. I used to own the Texas Heat that was in a 1X12 cabinet. Sad to say, it disappointed me, for my intended purposes and so I sold that combination on. I currently own a Swamp Thang that's in a 6G3 combo and it absolutely kills. The amp is super touch-sensitive at a low cleanish gain; when cranked, the Swamp Thang handles all 20 watts of raging tube overdrive like an absolute champ. Even with the speaker output attenuated, the speaker performs admirably and is the perfect recorded edge-of-breakup guitar tone.

@@georgefromgreece4119 I tried the TH in 3 different contexts- as the speaker in a Fender ‘65 DRRI combo, a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe combo, and in a compact closed-back speaker cab. In all 3 contexts, I truly tried to love it. The top end was never an issue, but perhaps I am more demanding when it comes to bottom end (umph) and low mid response (punch) which the TH somehow was not able to really deliver on. Keeping in mind that I did give it plenty of time to break in, even gigging with it as well. Long story short, the Texas Heat is a solid speaker choice for muddy amps, but don’t look to it for a “fat” tone.

@georgefromgreece4119 3 жыл бұрын

@@Roomfulofgear thank you so much! My case is the opposite: I need to brighten and open the highs of my sound a bit- I own the Legend 1218 which is considered to be in the same ballpark and frd identical to the Swamp, only 3 db leds sensitive. I need something more edgy ( more highs/ high mids) for surf and rnr. The combo I refer to, Laney Cub 12, has a lot of very tight and solid lows and low mids already.

To my ears the ST took out the treble and had a thicker tone. I own two STs in a 2x12 cab and they sound great. I definitely recommend upgrading to an ST for those looking to do so. I’ll also recommend the Private Jack. I put one in my peavey classic 30 when the stock blue marvel crapped out. Great rounded tone

@EternalRecursion 3 жыл бұрын

Cheers, Shane ... After watching one (or two?) of your earlier videos, I bought a Swamp Thang to put into a used Fender Princeton 112 Plus solid state, as a light weight pedal platform amp. It worked quite well, but I quickly tired of the sonic limitations of the amp, so I pulled out the amp, put a blank panel in the gap, and a back brace with a speaker jack, so that the cabinet is now just a 12" open back cab. Got a Traynor YCV40 head (comparable to a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe) and the combination is sweet, loud and very powerful. Eminence describes the Swamp Thang as a slow breakup speaker, whereas the Texas Heat is a medium breakup speaker, and the difference is very audible in this demo. The Swamp Thang is POWERFUL, deep bass, clear and neutral mids and highs without being spiky. The Texas Heat has that audible breakup on the mid and high edges, the transient peaks that have that very short-duration over-saturation. In this video, I prefer the Swamp Thang when you use pedals - more precise, less raspy. But, for guitar->cable->amp, the combination is pretty kickin'. Ultimately, I'd say the Texas Heat is well named.

Nice video!!! Eminence sold ST + TH as a set for a long time! No wonder! The mid ranges really compliment each other, they're both huge on the bottom, and the ST brings a hair of tops in the mix.. I read once that they're the same speaker come with different size magnets. ST is heavier and TH is more medium weight. Have had them both and the Neo "Lil Texas" which if it's the same cone in all three, should really be called the "Lil Swampy" because it's got the tops dialed back in, and BillM that modded so many Blues Jrs did say he thought the Lil Texas sounded like a ST but only about 40% of the weight. I recently got my hands on an Eminence Screamin Eagle, the 50 watt variant of the The patriot series, and I think it is the same cone as well! Sounds like a Texas Heat with extra treble and touch sensitivity.... Killer speaker! Rock on brother!!!✌️

A near 3db difference means that when listening to them paired together, a person mostly hears the ST. Paired speakers really need to have identical or nearly identical efficiency ratings to hear each more or less equally. Agree with most of the other posters here. I also preferred the ST. It's got the power rating and efficiency to handle just about anything. Also, for those running a modeler (or similar upstream tone-shaping/preamping) you may prefer to have a speaker with a 'flat' response. Sometimes, non-guitar speakers (such as PA drivers for example) make good speakers for those that rely on a modeler most or all of the time.

HI Shane, we hope all is well thanks mate for showing those Em's What I hear is subjective but the swamp is open top and bottom while the Heat has a compressed tpo and bottom. The difference is when your on the bridge and playing through an OD pedal. Harmonics overtones that's another subject but playing on your own vs a band situation can make the joice very different. So a 2 x 12 cab with the blend of the swamp and heat is for another video. Cheers Grunta

Soon paint the boards that the speakers mount to. Then I will have to drill 8 holes for the new speakers to mount. Hopefully have them done within the next week or so.
