Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

I'm surprised that I'm really liking the Emi Swamp Thang! OTOH, I'm really not liking the Tonker. I wished they would've done the Cannabis Rex inj athat 15 speaker shootout. I must have lisetned to that thing 50 times already trying to figure out which speaker sounds best.

The G12K100 might do the trick for ya. I use four of those in a Marshall MF400 cab with my Roadster. Little darker than the v30, but still pairs with the amp very well.

From that clip I didn't really like the G12K. That said, it's hard to judge a speaker based purely on a clip. Wish I had more money....

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

Cool. I found what seems to be the extended version (more speakers);



As per usual, I'm drawn to the sound of the G12M and the V30, however I listened to the G12H a lot more carefully than I normally do and I can definitely hear the low midrange fullness you guys are talking about. Probably because the clip isn't so gain heavy that it masks the tone of the speaker...

I think I'm going to go with a set of those first. I think they'd be really good with my Orange, and I think they'd sound good combined with a V30 loaded cab.

Why does the T75 always just sound...wrong?

Have you thought about any of the Eminence redcoat speakers? The frequency range is quite broad which I know is what I like from my Dual Rec.

'cause it's got a gap in the midrange.

I never understood why Marshall uses these as their default speaker...

Yes, but I prefer to talk in terms of Celestions as it's less confusing.

I think the Swamp Thing and Governor sound great together, this is definitely a pair I'd like to get!

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

I've been itching to try those speakers out, or maybe just hunt down and buy an MF400 cab used if I need another 4x12.

I got mine for something like 280, in good shape. Some deals to be had out there.

I hear ya. I agree, too, I don't really like it on that amp either.

I feel that it matches pretty well with the roadster for what I do, though. Has some V30 characteristics to it, but takes it in a different direction.

What speakers?

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

i was gonna say V3o right from the get go.

you know whats worked for me? a marshall cab with 30s or 75s. helps focus the sound, to my ears.

V30s, my favorite speaker of all time!

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

I'm looking at options other than V30s. I need something that's dark like the V30, yet with a fuller midrange that isn't quite so focused on the upper mids like the V30 is.

I recently tried an MC-90 (Classic Lead) and it really filled out the low midrange and fattened the sound up. Only problem is the speaker is too dark on it's own and guts the Recto of it's punch.

In that case, use 2 vintage 30s and 2 C90s...

I stick with 4 vintage 30s and 4 G12H-80s (similar to Classic Lead 80s) and dial to taste with my stereo power amp.

What speakers?

And despite the Necro bump, these would be greenback 25w, or if he was using bass cabs..which alot of guys did BITD, they would be what is now called the anniversary H30.

Two year old thread is two years old.

I bought a Recto cab. It was a great match for the Dual Recto.

Re: Dual Rectifier - What Speakers

Bringing this back because I have a new fully modded Dual Rectifier that is amazing.
I like it with all my cabs, V30s, K100s, Greenbacks, Lynchbacks and soon buying Creambacks.

I hated the Eminence Governors. I think the V30s sound and feel way better.

Long time no see dude. How ya been?

I'm running a Dual Rec Tremoverb right now with 2 Emi Governors and 2 Emi Man-O-Wars. The Governors are like fatter V30s with no upper mid spike, and the MOW's are like fatter, louder G12T75s. That combo, as sosomething says, is "The Business".

You'll get better results if you start your own thread instead of necro bumping old ass threads, without a doubt.
