      I used a JTM45 chassis and cut another preamp tube hole and had a faceplate made.

        Yep. I use it for everything . . .

          I loved this speaker in a single open backed cabinet with my for my VHT Special 12/20RT head. So now four years later... I finally tried two in an open backed cabinet.

          TWO of these together is very thick and fluffy sound compared to the mix of a C-Rex and an apparently Jensen inspired speaker that I pulled from a Yamaha F-50. I have no data sheet or specs for the Yamaha so I used an A/B box to compare the relative volume, and the Yamaha was quieter with much more emphasis on the upper mids than the low end. Prior to that, I tried a pair of Eminence Legend 1228K (discontinued alnico speakers) which were VERY crunchy but lacking lows.

          Even if the frequency response of the Cannabis Rex isn't ideal, I am committed to the unique voice of the Cannabis Rex so I'd rather get back the missing treble with a booster/EQ or maybe raising my pickups by a millimeter or two.

            Been playing my C-Rex cab open for the last two weeks with my Picovalve with the 6CA7. Five watts of Marshallly goodness.

              i really like the crex in 1x12 cabs/combos but if id pair it with something toothier if i was gonna use it in a 2x12. i have an eminence lil buddy 10" which is fat and thick but the top is pretty subdued, mixed with a p10q that cab sounds great!

                I use my C. Rex in an open back combo with a V30 in a close backed cab, and really like them together. The C. Rex adds body and a little softness to the V30s sometimes abrasive upper mid thing. The V30 adds more than enough highs and cut into the mix.

                  Since I last posted in this thread, I've become an Orange fan boy, and can offer a bit more insite. Here is a cover we did of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath with my OR15, and the same cab I've been using with two C-Rex speakers. You can hear that there is plenty of high end, and they sound fat and full.
