Ya, I thought about that....I really like the 55Hz, but wish it was offered in a 40 or 50 watt...
Difference between WGS Veteran 30 and Retro 30:
- Thread starter Inspector #20
- Start date

Problem Solved!!!!!
Robert,
You can still order the 50w Reaper with 55Hz cone by simply ordering a Reaper HP, and specifying in the “Notes” section of the order “Request for 55Hz cone - TE”.
Expect up to a 5 business day lead time from the time the order is placed.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me another email.
Thanks,

These guys are fast!
Yep. They have always delivered to me in a good and timely manner. Not that I've ordered anything "custom".
OP
Shoot, Man! I don't have anything "normal." Everything is custom made, custom wound or hand made...even my doubleneck has my birthdate as the serial number...
OP
I can't wait to get this installed!!!!
OP
Not sure how long, but it will get broken in...."like a battering ram."

Progress!!!

Finally opened the Reaper 55Hz today! What a nice speaker! Very well made and fast shipping too! WGS is literally just down the road from the family's 300 year old farm in Cadiz, Kentucky.
I have a Marshall MG50 that I bought in 2002 for music students. It's been up in Mom's living room for years. I told Pop I was going to send him the Celestion 70/80 I pulled out of this DSL40C originally and have him install it in the MG50, replacing the "MG Series" speaker that came in it.
Should be a nice upgrade....

55Hz Reaper installed....
How many watts?
It says 30?
(Not a problem at half power)

50 Watt Reaper HP with custom 55Hz cone. Note included from Trevor English saying "30 watt" is the only decals they have for the 55Hz.
OP
Guess what? Tonight I realized I been playing this amp all this time on 8 ohm with a 16 ohm speaker. Don't know how I missed that....
OP
I never looked!
OP
What an incredible change!
I used to run so much bass and mid frequency boost to get e rich, full sound....now I have almost everything rolled off to either Noon or 2'Oclock and the Gibson SG sounds absolutely huge.
Individual strings sound like chords. The "edge" is still there when playing through a chord, such as the C-Clamp G, but that almost too bright "bark" has been subdued.
It's a much more articulate speaker, and yet, when pushed hard, the bottom end never gets thick or muddy.
Best upgrade yet...

I'm glad you are happy with the new speaker, but I am wondering how the stock one would have fared with the impedance matched.
I've read a lot of posts about this so I can only repeat it; I'm no expert.
It's preferred to NOT have a mismatch, and not use mismatching to chase tone.
The way I have come to understand it is with a SOLID STATE output section, a higher impedance may be ok but a lower impedance will pull a lot more current, overheat and damage things.
A TUBE output section, when pushed hard, a higher impedance can over work the output transformer, cause flyback voltages that can damage the OT. Output transformers are expensive.
Low impedance will pull more current and work the power tubes harder, shortening the lifespan. I dont recall the extra current draw being enough to put the PT in peril, but I suppose it could.
Also, the extra heat produced may cause mischief as well.
OP
Good question!
The sound was ok with the 90 watt Creamback in this one, even at the 8ohm setting. All my posted videos were recorded with the mismatch. My second DSL40C still has the stock 70/80 and I have another Reaper 55Hz on order for it.
I even tested the Reaper 55Hz on 8 ohm and it still blew the 90 watt Creamback away. No comparison.
