evidence: a speaker change changes tone

[eSGEe]

 

[DonP]

Evidence? Tone is probably determined - from most to least effect by:
Speaker
picking position on string
Pickup type (single coil/humbucker)
Strings
Pick thickness

What about the amp? I’d say that’s pretty important too.

I'd call the amp second order compared to those.

agreed with you both however in the video example ALL of those things where the same the only change was the speaker-- and the tone

I'm a big fan of Warehouse speakers...
Of course I also think spray paint, tissue paper, elmer glue, and contact cement makes for a groovy speaker too

Having HEARD one like that I would have to agree

Not sure about evidence or speaker changing, but I sure love tone like this.

Don't forget the tailpiece, Don! Grooviness and quality of tone determined, from best to worst, by:
SOLID GOLD
Gold-plated aluminum

After lots of consideration, I had Trevor English at WGS build me a custom 50 watt Reaper HP with a 55Hz cone for my DSL40C.

Just the speaker swap alone - without any other changes - totally changed the tone of my amp....

Well, this is kinda of a "Duh" moment. Of course, a change to a totally different speaker will alter the tone. The stock speaker on this Fender Mustang sounds pathetic compared to the WGS British Lead.

Agreed...I guess I should rephrase. The WGS Reaper 55Hz speaker swap on my DSL40C produced an articulation and presence I had not expected. It was dramatic.

I wouldn't know, I always eat handfuls of Skittles or M n M's etc all at once in mixed colors.

This is one of the thought provoking and highly intelligent discussions that keeps me a coming back for more!
