What cab and speakers will you (would you) run with your Overtone with?


I've ordered a 1x12 wide cabinet with a Celestion G12-65.

I've been searching hi and lo for a 65 to no avail.   I'm fairly happy with the Emi. RW&B but by all accounts the G12-65 is THE speaker for these amps.

I was thinking about something like this D'Lite here...


...small and handy... and if I want a bigger sound, I can always add another cab.

Didn't decide on a speaker yet but it seams like G12-65 is the one.

Usually people go for the Celestion G12-65 heritage..  or the Electro Voice EVM12L.

I have a Mesa Boogie 1-12 Theile with a EVM 12L in it setting waiting. It isn't exactly the same width but I think it will do.

Of course it will.. actually lots of people prefer the EVM 12L on non-HRM "Dumbles".. and the G12-65 for HRM "Dumbles". The overtone is a non-HRM amp...

"Hot Rubber Monkey"....

from wikipedia: In some newer models (1990s to present), the overdrive stages are followed by a passive tonestack (treble , middle and bass), which is adjustable using trimmer potentiometers inside the amplifier. This is known as the "Hot Rubber Monkey" (HRM) modification (these amplifiers are voiced for the overdrive channel to be used with the preamplifier boost engaged). Most players use three tones: clean, clean with boost on, and overdrive with boost on.


Nik´s Dumble clone is based on a non-HRM 80´s circuit..

ok, here's my stupid question:
for the evm-12l, which is better for the overtone, 8 or 16 ohms. also I assume everyone means the classic 200 watt speaker, not the black label 300 watt?

Would a single G12-65 be OK or would it be best to go for 2 x G12-65.??

My Zen answer would be......yes! Grin

Seriously, try both if you can.  A 1x12 with the same width as the matching head can sound a little boxy.  In a wide body combo a single sounds great.  A 2x12 is more to carry but almost always sonicly better.

Yeah I think so too!  2 x 12 it is then. 

Would they sound nice too with my Expression.  I have a DC30 which I used to play through a Blue and G12H30...lovely...

Sold it to generate cash for my overtone...

Is the consensus that Celestion G12-65 are the first choice.?  I notice they are 97db.  That may help quiet things down a tad.

That is the concensus with these amps but don't forget the Overtone has a lot of flexibility and can cover a lot ground tonewise with a bunch of different speakers.  The only speaker that I didn't really like was a V30 I tried for interest sake a while back.  But Greenbacks, Emi Wizard, RW&B, Tonespotter, and Sammi's all sound great.

I plan to have a cabinet custom built for me here in europe (a 2x12 with G12-65)

It's seems there are  15 or 8 ohms versions of this speaker right ?

What is the best fit for an overtone amp ?
what about speaker wiring (serial parallel) ?
