New Family Build - Amp Cab

Very classy tones coming out of the Panamanian Peacock. I also hear a lot of improvement on your playing.

Definitely hear a difference between the open cab/close cab clip. Was the second half of the clip the closed cab? It sounded more "in your face" than the first half.

I am (as we all know ) a PEAVEY DEVOTEE---- however--- the Peacock IMHO blows the DOORS off the Peavey here.

In fairness, the Peavey was designed to be a combo, with an open back, and a big metal box was missing from the sound chamber.

no excuses......I have pulled Peavey amps out of trash piles on curbs before and they where restored and sounded good......the Peacock just kicks butt.
 
The beautiful tones of the Warehouse speakers remind me of how my 2 Weber 10 inch speakers sound in my Fender Princeton Chorus. Big improvement over stock. Ray made an awesome choice for his awesome Peacock build.

Yep, vastly different recordings.
I'm, admittedly, a WGS fanboy. I've tried a few different models over the last decade, and have been happy with the performance of all of them. They sit next to Celestion, and Eminence speakers, and hold up well in comparisons.at my place.
Green Berets are relatively new to me...I've only had mine for a couple or three years, maybe more. They're up there in my favorite speaker list, along with a couple versions of their Reaper model. They've done nothing but improve with age/use. So, if you like them now...break them in a bit, and I'd wager you'll like them even more.:cheers:

Your post about them in a conversation with Frank is the reason I got them with no experience with them. So let me finally say thank you!!

Yes, second half was closed, but not to your standards! I just squeezed a piece of wood in the back, no screws, no cleats, so I am sure it could be thicker and in your facier!

That's what I'm talking about...his Peavey was not exactly "restored".
Doesn't really matter anyway..."abstract Stewie face" is miles beyond cool.
 
Ray, my one friend who uses 2x cabinets also mixes his to a degree.

He sometimes mixes 12 inch Greenbacks with 12 inch Heritage Celestians.
I also have seen Bass cabs with mixed sized speakers, so I see nothing wrong doing a 10 and a 12 like you did.

I have an idea.
Instead of a 2 X 12 cabinet try a cabinet with one 10" and one 12" in it.
That will give you all the bigness of the 12 and all the punch of the 10.
It will also be nice and thick because the cones will have different masses
and accelerate at different speeds. I have a Fender Vibroverb RI (40 watt
2 X 10) that I turned into a 1 X 12 + 1 X 10 and it sounds very good.
If you don't like it all you have to do is enlarge the 10" hole and it
will become a 2 X 12.

I think the 12x10 cab concept is a winner!
