Members Random Hero Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 ...or directly infront of it, it doesn't sound as if it has enough shred gain, due to the harshness, when the note is picked. However if you leave the room, and listen from further away, you find it has more than enough? I use my maxon in the room with it, to smooth it, but if I leave the room, shut the door, and play, I don't need the maxon. Anyone else get that? If so...what the hell can I do about it, other than stand a long way from my amp!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhythm tones sound sweet as, in the room, as do the lead tones, when boosted. Maybe when I get to crank it up again, i'll not need the Maxon.

Members Sordid1 Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Celestions are kind of known for their ice pick effect directly in front of them but they sound good everywhere else. You can get some weber beam blockers that fix that or you can put some duct tape on the inside of your grill infront of the speaker cones and your problem should go away. When I had a Marshall 1960 w75's that's what I did and it sounded way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uze Soap Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have experienced this a bit, but I thought it was just my crazy ears. I don't want to ducttape nothin, though. I think I'll make do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twally Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 The sound is more balanced when I step out of the room. I have a little beaminess, especially with the high end, but I sit right in front of my cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluez4u Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 Try turning you cab to the wall. Experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members freeridstylee Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 Does anyone find that when they're in a room with their amp.......... they start to sport uncontrollable wood? Cuz that happens to me sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members freeridstylee Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 but seriously, try the duct tape thing. I really have that problem w/my v30s. My crate cab's ugly as hell anyways, i just put the duct tape on the outside, it helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4nkam Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 I know what you mean man. I've done the same thing and it's certainly interesting to hear the difference. MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EC-E Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 would beam blockers or duct tape make that much of a difference in a v30 Recto cab? the grill clothes are thick as {censored} anyways....i think i might not like v30's in a cab without that grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkIntension Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 Originally posted by kjr44130 Try turning you cab to the wall. Experiment. :eek: HOLY CRAP!!! I just tried this and it made a world of difference. I used a Mesa DC-5 into a Marshall 1960A, I thought my speakers were sounding kind of harsh too(G12T75's). Here were my setting before turning my cab to the wall. I play metal. Gain: 10(Not very sensitive, have to turn up for it to get heavy) Treble: 3 Mid: 9 Bass:7 Presence:8 Reverb: 3 Output:3 EQ: V Shape with lowered high eq's After: Gain:6 Treble:6 Mid:9 Bass:4 Presence:4 Reverb:0 Output: 4 EQ: Balanced V Shape Settings changed drastically. It sounds 100 times better with it turned to the wall. Thanks kjr44130 !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was I right in thinking some of the harshness would be tamed as the speakers age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
