Members jds22 Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'd like to know too. I'm more into hard rock, 80's type gain, but am looking to change speakers from my Emi Tonespotters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not really a "tight" speaker. I love them, but they wouldn't be my first choice for metal. I'd say you'd be better off with a V30 for metal. Hmmm, looks like you might already have four GB12s? PLEASE ket me know if you decide to part with them at a decent price!

I played rhythm guitar in a Cult tribute band last year thru a 4x12 loaded with GB12s. Sounded great for that. Malcolm Young-type rhythms with more gain.

Members thesplawnster Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know Webers are a like more pricy but well worth the extra cash, One of the eminence I do like is the GB but its is more for E tuned It seem ( TOO ME NOW) when I down tuned the GB seemed weak But like 70 80's rock its works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The4thlast1 Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 I just tried a bunch of Eminence speakers and here is what I can tell you from the ones I tried. If you like the v30 than here is some options. Governer-sounds alot like a v30 but smoother and punchier, great tight lows. Cannabis Rex- smoother and much darker than the governer, same tight low end. (might not be the best for the FB because I believe it is a very dark amp to begin with) Tonker- Big sound, also has a tight low end, adds presence, high wattage like the legendGB, efficent, not harsh. This speaker will rip your head off. I think its a great speaker to mix with another. All 3 of those are good for metal, thats what I play. Others I tried from Eminence,and did not care for are SwampThang,Manowar, Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
