Weber speaker choice for Bad Cat

canopynathan · April 27th, 2006, 09:12 PM

I have a lead on a reasonably priced, relatively new Weber 10" speaker that I am looking into purchasing for my Bad Cat Mini Cat. It is model 10A150T.

What kind of sound is this speaker going to give me? What kind of breakup is going to give me? I am not looking for shred-central, just mild overdrive with lots of note clarity.

I am relatively new to speaker replacement - any and all input is appreciated.

thanks!

hey!

i used to have that speaker. 10A150....

used it in a Fender Pro. Jr.

Very warm with really nice lows. i really liked it.

i have bought 4 different speakers from weber and always the same result:

great tone.

oh, on the breakup.

not very much, since it is a larger magnet and higher wattage.

if you want more breakup, go with a 20 watt 10A125.

Ted offers 4 versions of the 10A150 and each does things a bit differently.

I have the same amp! I play my Fender 52 Reissue through it and thought it sounded too bright with the stock speaker. I put in an 8(!)inch Weber speaker. I chose a ceramic speaker because i heard the brights on them are warmer. I chose the 8 inch speaker to have earlier breakup. I like the results. I am interested in your results. Btw I also changed the tubes for Mullard NOS and that was an improvement.
