Members charveldan Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Speakers, pickups, strings, tubes, tonewoods, cab woods can all affect tone. I never had the tone i wanted til i got a Les Paul & old Marshall, that was more than half the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members charveldan Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 It's all in the fingers :poke: Here we go. Assuming your a good player.........gear has a factor regardless. I will say the average bar patron doesn't know the difference between a Peavey and an SLO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members strtdv Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I try out different tube brands but I always find myself coming back to the same ones. I still haven't found current production 12AX7's I'm really happy with though, but current production power tubes seem just fine (I like JJ EL84's and Groove Tubes 6CA7S's for EL34 amps). I always seem to go for the same speaker too (I'm a big fan of G12H-30's), although I have to say that I like V30's just fine once you get them up to a decent volume and EQ your amp to avoid the upper mid spike.

Members wrathfuldeity Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Speaker and cabs make a difference...maybe not greater but certianly significant...being a bit of speaker slut, have an alnico and ceramic 8's, a smooth and ribbed ceramic 10's and a smooth alnico, a ribbed alnico and a ribbed ceramic 12's that I try in different configured open, closed, detuned cabs. Yesterday this no name $10 12" alnico from the 70's that I happened to team up with my modeller to tube amp rig...and its sounds waaaay better than the $200 weber... perhaps its a FR speaker but its staying with the modeller/tube basement rig.
