Pulled the little Egnater Tweeker cab from Church and rolled some speakers through it. Had a Celestian GTH 30 in it and was a decent sounding cab but lacked the bottom and meat I wanted. I have a WGS Retro 30 in my larger open back Blackstar cab and an extra one on hand so rolled it in. WOW the Tweeker is so different sounding with the Retro 30 than the Blackstar is!! I expected some difference but not this much. The Retro did fatten the bottom and added a LOT of punch but side by side the Blackstar flat stomps the daylights out of the Tweeker cab!! Bigger rounder the Blackstar sounds HUGE the and in comparison the Tweeker sounds small boxie and wimpy! Talking a night and day difference in tone here. Also have a pair of Retros in a 2/12 old Fender closed back cab and that cab is also much different with the same speakers. Brighter and a little tighter at higher volume than the Black Star but even with the 2/12's not on the same planet on that bottom end thump and overall big sound.
Real eye opener to take the same speakers in 3 different cabs and set them side by side then play them through the same amp. Really shows just how important to overall tone a cabinet design really is!!
