Title: Anyone use an Alnico speaker with their Dizzy?
Post by: guitar1 on February 16, 2012, 09:30:36 AM
Hi, enjoying my Dizzy 30. currently running it into 2 1x12 cabs with vintage 30's. As ever, always looking for the perfect tone I was wondering if anyone had ever tried a cab with Celestion Alnico golds?
The blues I guess would be nice but at only 15 watt rating it would mean I would have to use both cabs all the time rather than for some gigs traveling light with 1 cab.

I know the G12 H and the V30's seem to be the way to go but was just looking for a different slant.
I play the amp on the 12 AX7 channel exclusively with the vol on 2.30 and no master engaged, treble around 1.00 and bass around 11.00.  I play a tele and use no effects. The amp is breaking up with the guitar vol on full but cleans up real easy when backed off. My tone is close to Robert Cray's.

Thanks.

I run my DC-30 with a 1x12" containing a 65 watt Sumnico and it sounds great. I've also tried the amp with a gold and I preferred the Scumnico as it Was less 'brittle' in the top end while having all the other good atributes of the gold and higher power handling.

it sounds nice with a gold or a fane axa
better with a real matchless mismatched pair though
