Hi there,
I play funk, jazz, blues and some rocking leads (SunFceFuzz) sounds through an american (mojo) open back 212 cab (standard bf size). The amp I use is inspired by tweed or early gibby designs, with lots of bass, a darkish midrange and some really silky top end. compared to a bf amp lot more mids and a bit less treble, but delicious. the cab is loaded with a pair of g12c. I love the chimey top end it delivers. it´s really to die for! I have to dial out the bass quite a bit, because it is getting too much.
Playing with my (3-piece) band I realized, that I missed some midrange to fatten the tone. so I am thinking about another speaker to complement and going with the g12c and something else for a thicker midrange, without losing the american character of the cab. I want to keep that silky top end. I heard your et65 complements nicely with the g12c, but could never listen to it, yet. And honestly I don´t want to get into the british/cel. area, but staying with the american sounds. what should I do?
1. Just wait? the speakers only had a few hours of playing and are definitely not fully broken in. will there be an audiable change regarding midrange?
2. Give the g12c/s a try. This sounds tempting to me - but I never read about pairing these two, so I don´t know if they "get along" with each other
3. ???
thanks

Sorry ... but ET65 for sure! Go for it & don't look back ...Don't worry, it won't take you too far into Britt territory :-)
The smooth-cone will darken too much for you, given what you've said.
Thanks for the reply. I give up :-) and give the et65 a try.
doing so there will be one g12c left and besides the idea of selling it, I was thinking about a 1210 customized cab. from your soundclips and given to my tonal preferences I had the idea that mixing the left g12c with a g10c would be a nice option. ever tried it? I do like the punch of 10s.
...and liked it quite a bit. It really helped for getting some really meaty mids that had lots of class. the et65 doesn´t sound british at all (in my opinion) and blends beautifully with the g12c.
on the downside, my amp has really lots of dark lower mids and bass response. the g12c/et65 mix got too loose in the bass area for my purposes. I guess with a "lighter" sounding amp this could have been "it".
my next try will be mixing the g12c with a g10c and hope for a tighter bass response, to clear things up a bit. the et65 might find it´s way into a 112cab. still think this would be the right application for my havelstar when playing jazz...

Thanks for taking the time to post your results here ... and for tying these two inter-related threads together :-)
