Members timrocker Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi, I am looking to do some upgrades to my speaker cab. I've an Avatar 2x12 that I run in stereo. My preamp is a Peavey Rockmaster and my power amp, paychecks away, will be a Carvin TS100. After listening to and reading discussions about speakers, it seems as though the Greenback and the V30 are good choices. So, let's just say that I buy one of each. Which one is the logical choice for the wet side, and which for the dry side? Or would I just have to try them and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boogieman_dan Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 My personal choice for the wet side would be a more neutral speaker like a EV12L or similar. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timrocker Posted November 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 That seems like pretty good advice, Boogieman Dan. So, for the dry side, which Celestion do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zachman Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I Love the Celestion G12-H30's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sgill72 Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 H30's seem a little hollow to me. if your running wet/dry I would suggest higher wattage speakers. in my experiences...it seems like the higher wattage the better the sound. GB's are only 25 watts...but v30 are actually 60. maybe emi govnors? i have had good luck with heritage GB's (EVH) in a similiar setup...although pricey.

Members timrocker Posted November 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2008 Okay, so here's another thought about wet/dry setups. Do you gain anything by having an EQ dedicated to each side? So that you can EQ wet one way and dry another? I am thinking of going this route with my next rig, so that I can make the wet side, I think, brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cmw Posted November 25, 2008 Members Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm looking for another cab (a 4x12) so I can run W/D/W, but right now I'm just running 2 2x12 cabs in stereo. I'll wait until I get that cab before I break out the dry signal but currently I'm just bringing the wet and dry submixes together. Anyways, I decided I wanted to tweak my wet signal a bit and I didn't really want to do it in a MFX unit. I had a dual 31 band EQ lying around so I added it at the end of the wet signal. So far, I'm quite happy with the results. I was able to pull out some of those extra frequencies that I felt my effects units were adding back into my signal. So yeah ... I think post-fx eq can be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 post-fx EQ is definitely a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
