But I am sure which higher end tones are you  trying to get...?

Your tone is pretty smooth on this clips, almost "G12-65-ish". Wink

I'll have some more ethos clips up in a few days recorded with the same setup but with the G1265 speakers. You'll hear that they don't have as much "Rip" to them.

Have you ever tried a Lansing Altec 417 8c. Also I have a g1265 I don't particularly take a shine to, question, what do you mean by rip

I have tried several Altecs...Not sure which models. They were all fantastic.

By the way, here's another clip of the RW&B speaker mic'd with an SM57 and driven by an ethos pedal. The RW&B just has a ripping high end that the 1265 is missing IMO.

Thanks. I just don't hear the 1265 getting nasty like the RW&B can. It's too smooth. Smiley

The overdriven tones in the overtone seem a tiny bit harsh for my tastes...I'm playing through V30s...so, maybe the G12-65 would smooth it out perfectly...any thoughts on that?

I think ChrisL posted a while back that he had tried a bunch of speakers with the overtone and that V30s were the only ones he didn't like. V30s have that hump in the upper mids and I believe the overtone has strong mids -  perhaps this is what is causing the harshness you are having trouble dialling out?

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.

Yes, V30's suck with this amp...IMHO Tongue.  I'm really warming up to the RWandB because I've found it works really well with my 18watters too.  The Tonespotter was quite nice as well.

V30s are a very harsh speaker unless heavily doped ala matchless. G1265 would smooth it out quite a bit. Emi RW&B would give you somewhat of a fender vibe combined with a celestion which is a good choice in a dumble type of amp. The 1265 will attenuate the highs a bit and depending on what type of tone you're looking for will sound much better than a V30.

By Rip I mean "tear it up" as in getting nasty/funky.

Well....we're an emi dealer....so maybe I'll order a couple of different speakers to try out...does anyone know which ones are closest to the G12-65?

supposedly the governer is the british version of the RW&B so I'd try that one but emi's site is very poor for choosing speakers IMO

Here's another RW&B clip done with an ethos and a kingsley amp

Hi guys (and gals). I'm currently thinkning (dreaming) about ordering my own Overtone without a cab, and then building my own matching head and 1x12 or 2x12 speaker cabs from fancy woods. There seems to be a whole 'science' to speaker cab design if you read the custom builders' websites - detuned vs non-detuned etc etc ...

Does anyone know of any good tried and tested speaker cab designs available on the interweb?

Thanks, Dan

I ran the Overtone through the Jensen C12N of my Engl. Didn't sound bad at all! Smiley
