From a fellow Canuck , nice one, eh! Back in the day, I remember buying Traynor 4x12s for $10 at a garage sale. I also remember seeing roadies push the cabs off the truck; they were fine after dropping 3 feet onto the pavement. Guvs with the Marshall sounded best to my classic rock ears, btw.

@DATT 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah the Guvs are pretty good. My fav too, in general. We had no idea how good we had it back in the day, when we could pretty much buy a Marshall at the hock shop for like $200, for a full half stack even. Proper just say a crappy work out old amp. I'm glad I managed to score the ones I got.

Best driver demo on the interwebs. You’re funny as hell but the descriptions you give are spot on real world comments. Even though I don’t play the same music as you (I dig the doom) you sold me on the Governor. I have a ST already and I miss my mids. I think two of each in a 412 would kill.

Hah Thanks. I did the Gov/Swamp thing is a cab at one point. I preferred the Govs on their own, but it's worth a try if you already have the Swamps.

I've got a '72 YSC-4 cabinet with a mutt set of Greenback-ish speakers in it. A UK GB, 2 eminence squarebacks, and a Weber era Scumback. Same era and construction as this 2x12. Great sounding cabinet. Solid as a rock. Found it in Halifax for $70, unloaded!

I can’t imagine how loud a JCM800 is through an oversized 2x12 closed back cabinet of Eminence Governor speakers. If you don’t think that combination couldn’t rip the doors to hell clear off their hinges, you either have very damaged hearing or you need to bring your amp to a tech and throw it on the bench with a dummy load and check the output power. 4x12 cabinets are for housing more vintage lower wattage speakers with less efficiency to get desired volume. Modern Eminence drivers filling a 4x12, you wouldn’t need anything more than 20 watts of power.

@DATT 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it wasn't a comfortable listening volume. I never play that loud myself. Only ever turn it up like that for testing. It's only the 50 watt, and I am the amp tech, I can confirm it's working properly.

@DATT 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think they are designed to add more highs to an otherwise dark sound, hence the marketing "Designed for drop tuning". Now might you, what speakers are you currently running ? And are you running a tube amp ?

@@DATT Running a stock speaker from Boss Nextone. I do some drop C tuning some times, but I still have highs for days in here. Maybe pair it with a darker speaker

@DATT 3 жыл бұрын

@@DeadmanDance Oh, solid state. so I can't help with tubes. I see it has tube settings, which setting do you use ? I tend to find EL34's darker. I wish I had more speakers to try, but the Gov would be the darkest of the 3. If it's the open back combo I'm seeing online, an external cab might help. Open backs loose a lot of low end and can make a speaker sound brighter than it really is.

@DATT 2 жыл бұрын

@@stephenkane2464 Ahhh, I dont' know if the swamps will pair well with the Wizards. They are both speakers with a lot of HF responce. It'd be too much highs, I figure. Both those speakers would do well matched with something darker. The Swamps can fill out the lows, but they lack the mid fill I think the wizards need. The Wizard typically pair well with the likes of Governors or Vintage 30's.
