Shootout of 35 guitar speakers...

[GuitarJon]

The title says it all! This was a lot of work but it's rewarding. I hope this will be a good resource for people out there who want to hear the differences between all these speakers. Of course I'd love to know your thoughts as well:

You fucking madman

Nice work! Must've been quite an ordeal.

BTW the G12H Redback timestamp is wrong, it's a bit early so it's still in the G12T-75 portion. The Fane LCFR-150 clip timestamp on the other hand is too late.

Ok, after a quick back and forth between the clips.

Least favorites in no particular order:

• EVM-12L. It just sounds dull for this type of tone. Might be the wrong amp, settings or just the wrong kind of tone to make it shine. WGS-12L actually sounded a lot better, so that's what I'd buy if I was looking for a EVM style speaker.
• G12T-75. It's not like terrible, but it's a bit fizzy, and makes me want to bump up the mids a lot.
• Not in love with the Fanes. There's something about them that is not quite right for me. Maybe I'm just too used to Celestions.

Favorites and pleasant surprises:

• When you start with the Chinese V30...that's sounds very right. The UK version is different, but it's cool in its own right. 2x12 with both?
• The Eminence Karnivore sounds very nice. It might be a good pairing for a V30 or G12M.
• I liked all the Warehouse speakers.
• Never heard of Amperian, but the two models sounded nice.

Thanks, I'll look into it!

Edit: fixed! Those timecodes are a pita!
