  • WGS Speaker recommendations???

    What would you all recommend for the following? I love WGS speakers and the price is right. I have a Bogner Shiva, PWE Event Horizon, this summer buying a Mesa Electradyne or Rectoverb. I already have a Stone Age with WGS Invaders and a Bogner 212OS with V30s. My Port City 212OS is empty now and I am thinking either two ET65s, the Vet30/ET65 pair or the Retro30/ET65 pair.

    Thanks!

    For my old Rectos, the Greenbacks were actually my favorite speakers with the g1265s being second. Actually....Greenbacks are my favorites anyway. Worked awsome for bluesy tones, rock tones, metal tones with my Mesas and my Splawn/Marshally amps.

    Would you consider the Green Beret?

    What are you looking for? Warm? Bright? Round? Sharpness? Growl?

      Green berets would blow apart with my amps. That is why I use the Invaders - the best greenback style speaker I have ever playede!!!

        You compare the Invaders to real-deal Greens or even the Berets?

          Yep, I have had Green backs, old and new and the Invaders are my favorite GB type speaker.

            I would do Vet30's and Green Berets in an x pattern. Warm and amazing sounding.

              How does an X pattern work in a 2x12???? I only use 2x12 cabs and may be switching to 112 cabs or combos.

                  Reeeeeeeeaally? Hmm. This intrigues me. I have also been considering to downsize to a 2x12 and this may be perfect.

                    Vet30/Invader would be better.

                      My personal favorite is the Retro 30 mixed with the Invader. I had that when I when I had my poor man's Mesa haha and it was beautiful

                        I decided on Retro and Invader since I already have Invaders in my Stone Age. I tried Scumbacks and prefer the WGS speakers I played so far.

                          I have a Retro 30 in my Blackstar, and I really like it. I think a Retro 30 and an ET65 would be a sweet combo.

                            Port City says the ET65 works very, very well in their cabs.

                              Well, if you have Invaders and Vets, then why not go for two ETs? Then, you can mix and match to your hearts content.
