Scumback loudspeakers -- bad to the bone!!

[TwilightOdyssey]

After much searching for a loudspeaker that will give me an authentic late 60's through early 70's rock tone, a friend told me about Scumback speakers. "They're not cheap," he warned, "but I heard they are the best replicas around."

After listening to the clips on their site ( http://www.southbayampworks.com/speakers.html ), I was blown away. This was the first time I've listened to loudspeaker clips and actually wanted to buy them!

I ended up putting an M75 and an M75-LHDC in my Marshall 2x12.

Now that I've lived with them for a couple of months and they've fairly broken in, I can say that these are the best speakers I have ever encountered for either classic rock/hard rock, proto-metal, or even NWOBHM tones.

This is a quick clip I recorded using a single Audix D2 using no science, just moved it around till I thought it sounded nice:

(Guitar: Agile 2800; bridge pickup: Bare Knuckle Riff Raff; amp: Splawn Quick Rod, clean channel, plexi gear; boost: Thundertomate treble booster)

If you're in the market for either a Prerolla or Pulsonic original, I give the Scumback speakers my highest recommendation!

I keep thinking about getting a Scumnico for my Electro King but I haven't done it yet. It's really a curiousity thing, I love the way the amp sounds I just wonder if it could be better.

Well, I can only tell you from my personal experience, that these were a huge step in the right direction for me. Scumico is totally different animal than the M75, of course, and a sight more money, too!
