The Wharfdales, from the CCs I've played, they're not hideously useless or anything, the amps sound fine. I think the reaction to them is based in large part on the ACs with other speakers- specifically Blues, and to a lesser extent Greenbacks.


Yarr, that is definitely what it was for me. Even my lousy Korean Sammi speakers(greenback-ish) sounded lively and interesting compared to the AC30CC that i played that had the Warfdales. The dood who owned that map was 100% happy with them though(although we was also purposefully going for a cardboardy garage rock fuzz clank anyhow).

I could deal with them for a spell, but the amps just sound so much better with different speakers.

Listening through most of those WGS clips makes me want speakers, a lot more speakers.

Also: every time i listen to clippy comparisons lately i seem to be leaning towards V30s. Before, it was always Greenbacks and G12H30s.

Also, i would really like a 4x10 cab.

I sure do wish the WGS were still $20 a pop. :red:

Speakers are fun. Steal some if you have to.

V30s, eh? Well, you said you've been wanting to make more violent sounds lately, and they are really good for that. They're not at all subtle. They're tight, clear, bold and in-your-face. And if you get on with their upper mid thing- well, see above. They do the pointy violence well.

And if the WGS stuff was still twenty a piece, I think we'd all have a lot more speakers. For your porpoises I'd advise Celestions though if you want pointy, as the WGS Vet 30s are a lot smoother IRL. A friend has a Marshall full of 'em, and even up against his Recto cab, which is pretty dark, the Vet 30s are smoother.

Yarr, the WGS vet'rans are darkish for my likings.

Out of the current crop of WGS, the Retro 30s, and the Invader 50s both sound promising though.

Their 10" alnicos also sound like they would do some good things in a 4x10. Fucking alnicos are so expensive though. The regular non-smooth cone ceramics sound decent though also.

I have a Retro 60 in my Tron cab. I like it.

I am kind of tempted to try the H30 in the AC15.

No, that is the infamous Misty Youngcat.

She is always a big fan of new gear:

Opened her up today. Could not find any evidence of something being knocked loose, but did snap a few pictures of the guts for the hell of it. There was one or two spots that looked possibly questionable.

Waiting for the pics to make it from my phone's gallery to my Gmail account, will post when they arrive.

Hmm, that lead next to R40 does look a bit interesting. Could just be overheated with soldering iron, but they don't usually come from the factory marked up like that.

Looks like R40 is a 100Ω screen grid resistor for one of the power tubes. Could look like that because of a tube failure, as well.

Not yet, actually my Sales rep from sweetwater called me about it today.

The amp works just fine and hasn't given me any issues, but the Trem still does not work. Not really concerned with the lack of trem as much as I am about if it might affect something else and cause a failure, but all the tubes are glowing and everything else works fine. It sounds really good too, so I think I am just going to say fuck it.
