UPDATE: The BBQ FC12s came in on Saturday and after a good old solder burn or two they were in business. First thing that I've noticed is that they are significantly less efficient than the THD speakers, a Longhorn (like a modified Celestion Classic Lead 80) and a Vintage (like a brown-labelled Oxford from a '60s Fender). That's not necessarily a bad thing, as I can now heat the power section up a bit more. So far I like what I hear, but I'm not going to say more until I get a lot more playing time in with them.

Sounds cool! We will be expecting some more Floyd clips in the near future.

Hopefully soon; I've got Strymon's new tape delay sim pedal (aka "El Capistan") on order to hopefully replace my Skreddy Echo. I love the Skreddy, but there's no substitute for multiple playback heads (even if emulated via DSP). I'll record something as soon as I get things dialed in a bit. =)

Now that we're an Eminence dealer, the Lynch Super V12s are looking like an option in the Triwatt 212 Cab.

Yayyyy!!!!

Another update on the BBQ FC12s: They're breaking in very nicely and I'm really happy with the voicing change of my cab. They also appear to work really well with my Big Muff and Fuzz Face clones. To some degree, I really wonder if their slightly less ineffeciency isn't working to their advantage since I do get to heat the tubes up significantly more. All goes well, I'll post a clip or two this weekend.

A few weeks ago I picked it a Celestion Wolverine (Used in a Marshall TSL Combo). They were designed to be a high wattage "Greenback Tone" speaker. They sort of fit, soundwise between a Greenback and a G12H30, which a lot of people say the 1970s Fanes, in Hiwatt Cabs, sound like. They have a large dust cap, 50 oz. magnet, and a 2" voice coil w/nomex former. They are 80 Watt RMS and were made in both 8 & 16 Ohms.

I do prefer my Fane AX12-150, with the Triwatt, to the Wolverine, but only because the Fane is a touch brighter. It's a dark speaker, and it is my favorite speaker with my Laney Lionheart 20 Watt Head. I run it in an Avatar 1 X 12" Open Back Vintage Cabinet. Some might prefer the Wolverine with the Triwatt, because it is darker.

You might be able to find these around for a very good deal, especially for a UK Manufactured Celestion, because a lot of people pulled these out of their Marshalls, and replaced them with Vintage 30s.
