Hi people,

I have an amp based on dumble project. It's a boutique combo amp builded by a great luthier here in my city, all tube, with clean channel and overdrive on pre, 50 watts.

I love the amp but I want to change the speaker

What speaker that you guys recommended for this kind of amplifier ?

I'm thinking about the Veteran 30, but I decided to asking you help

Thanks in advance

Eddie

Tell me more about the tone you are going for...

Hi Vaughn,

The tone what I'm looking for it's not like a modern sound. Vintage it's my sound

I don't want a tone with a lot of bass. I like more mid to treble, but not like Fender amps tone. I like Marshall's tone ( principally in overdrive )

I pretend to buy an Epiphone LP with 57 classics humbucking. Now I have a Casino 1961, with P-90s.

I like bands since Beatles, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Slash's tone, and some things like these ...

Is it all necessary information ?

Well ... our Blackhawk and Blackhawk HP's have became hugely popular with folks for their Dumble amps.

That would be a good choice ... however, given your statements of :

"I don't want a tone with a lot of bass. I like more mid to treble, but not like Fender amps tone. I like Marshall's tone ( principally in overdrive )

I like bands since Beatles, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Slash's tone, and some things like these ..."

I would recommend an Invader for you ... the tones you mention are all very vintage Green Back in nature ... that's the primary voice of the Invader ... only it can handle the wattage that a GB can not!

Asside from the users specif tastes, most seem to really like the G12-65 with Dumble style amps.

Do you guys think the Blackhawk or the ET65 would be a better match?

I'm tempted to try the ET65 since it is cheaper and is quoted as being a G12-65 replacement, but wonder what makes the Blackhawk your reccomendation.

 

Thanks.

Hi Dale, yes ... if it were me, I'd go with Blackhawk HP if I had the bucks for it or an ET65 if I didn't  ... but those are both quite warm speakers ... which would be a poor choice given ...

"I don't want a tone with a lot of bass. I like more mid to treble, but not like Fender amps tone. I like Marshall's tone ( principally in overdrive )"

That's the textbook description of a GB voiced speaker!

The Blackhawk 50W version is  definitely brighter than the ET65, I tried them side by side. Could be a great speaker for you.

I think WGS should offer a heavy magnet version of the ET65, they do make speakers like this for different amp companies.

I have one they make for HOOK amps and they sound more modern (more highs and tighter, also 100W) than the ET65 or the Celestion 12-65. Great speakers!
