New Speaker day ( WGS ET 10)

[Ascension]

Was waiting on my porch when I got home from work today. Dropped it in my Boogie Subway Rocket to replace the Black shadow that sounded small and boxie in the combo cab. First impressions are this is a HUGE improvement as the amp seems much fuller and bigger sounding.
Can't crank it and really get the full picture tonight but am off tomorrow so will hit it hard then and see what she does at volume.

Working with it today and REALLY digging this speaker in this amp!!
This WGS ET 10 is SO much smoother and bigger sounding than that old Mesa Black Shadow was and it really woke this little amp up.
Here is a quick recording off a little Sony digital recorder sitting on my desk across the room. I'm just noodling around running a Boss DD7 and a Hardwire Supernatural in the loop on the amp and playing my 95 MG 102 with a JB and 59n A4 mag swap.

This is the little amp it went in.

Apparently the Veteran 10 is a big hit too.

Looked at it and the retro 10 also hard. I have a ET 90 in my Zinky Velvet and a Retro 30 12 in the Blackstar cab I will likely run under both combos at times so went with the ET.
The 12 Vet is really dark and I was thinking it might be to muddy in the little Subway.
The ET 10 is no where as smooth and big sounding as the ET 90 but it ain't to shabby!

sounds great my friend

most of the warehouse speakers are supposed to be copies of something else
what is the ET10 supposed to be?

I don't think the 10" Vet is voiced like the 12", just going by what I've read. But I haven't heard the 10 so your rationale makes sense to me. I had a Veteran 30 (12") in a 1x12 combo amp and swapped it out to a Retro which I like better as a standalone. I agree, the Veteran 30 is lacking some top end and was a bit too warm on it's own (not really muddy though). I bought another Veteran 30 and paired the 2 with 2 ET90's in a large 4X12. I think it's a good combination. That cab sounds huge, it's pretty well balanced and can cover just about anything. Before I sold off most of my big gear (over 10 years ago) I had a good number of Celestions. Didn't want to spend the money for new or search out used Celestions when I re-tooled. I've been real happy with the WGS's I've picked up.
