Members metalaxe Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm just experimenting with a x-pattern of Governor and V30 in my Earforce cab..... here are some clips for youSpeaker1Speaker2 which one of the above clips do you prefer?and just for fun here is a clip with the Gov on one side and the V30 on the other sideand for even more fun: a blend of both speakers on both sides In this clip both speakers are equally loud, you can of course achieve interesting tones by different balances between the speakers....blending different speakers is fun! which one do you like best overall ?

Members 98 les paul Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I like speaker 2 better. Sounds a little warmer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members "sasquatch" Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 speaker 2 is the V30. it has the highs rolled off just a but compared to speaker 1. even though i have never heard a governor, speaker 1 sounds a lot like an eminence wizard to me; detailed, razor-highs instead of a rolled-off high with 1k mid peak like a V30.

Members Chrisjd Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 Can't listen here at work, but damn I like my vintage 30s much more than the governors I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nakedzen Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd say the clip 2 is the Governor, since it's a bit smoother and darker, which is my experience with these two speakers. I prefered clip 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manvspig Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 the links aren't working. it'd be fantastic if you got them working again, i'd really like to hear these clips. can't find any other comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 When I had both, I preferred the Governor. But like most eminence speakers, it has more punch/girth less highs/presence than its celestion counterpart. Which could be good or bad depending on what you want.

Eminence speakers have the qualitys in a speaker I want. They dont have the qualitys I hate about most Celestions. (granted I have to turn the presence up & the treble up a bit more than usual, when using Emi's).The Eminence Delta 12 B (bass speaker mixed with the Eminence Lynch Super V mix I've been using lately is the speaker sound I've been chasing since figuring out the tone Ive always wanted. F*ck celestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 wow, old thread. Anyways, I just don't like most eminence speakers. They sound more muffled and bland than the celestions they are trying to emulate. The detail and character is much nicer in the celestions, IMO. The Governor(which people say is supposed to emulate the v30) broke up way too early and lost ALL of it's integrity at an early stage. I couldn't stand it with the 6505, although it sounded alright through the cobra. I have come to the conclusion that I am just a Vintage 30 guy through and through.

Members Dolf Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 You also don't like speaker breakup. I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a speaker that can hold together in the low-end when I am playing a down-tuned guitar in a 2 guitar band under heavy distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
