Speaker fun with a Bugera...anyone wanna play?

[75lespaul]

So I'm gonna try some different speakers in my Bugera 333 combo tomorrow as the stock "Bugera Vintage" speakers don't cut it for me. Here's what I have at hand to mess with--one of these Celestion doubles is actually a WGS equivalent, but I forget which one it is. I've got two V30s (or one and a WGS), two G12H30s (or one and a WGS), and two Splawn Small Block 25s, which are 55w Greenback style speakers. What would be your first pair to try? Mix and match? Two of the same? Put me to work!

On a side note, when miking a cab with two different speakers, have you ever used one mic on each one, or does that cause phase problems? Easier to just record one track on one speaker and then another track with the other?

I'd go Small Block and V30. I have recorded cabs with two different speakers and just measured to make sure the mics were in the same spot and same distance from each speaker and didn't seem to have any phase issues (also both the same model mic). I've also used a condenser mic placed further away from the cab so it picks up both speakers and it also seemed to work well

Okay, so that's what I'll try first.
