In Praise of Warehouse Guitar Speakers ET-65 12"

[Cosmic Cowboy]

Got one of these on the recommendation of a buddy. What a great recommendation!

I recently picked up a Blues Deluxe Reissue and although its a pretty good lil amp, its a bit bassy and note clarity can get flubby in the low frequencies when cranked to jamming levels. Not horrible, but certainly not as articulate and dynamic as say a standard blackface SR. I really want to like the amp and well, dialing it in is a knife-fight. But its inexpensive, high headroom, great cleans and takes pedals great.

My buddy who is older and wiser let me know that the speaker that comes stock with the Blues Deluxe is not great and to try a Warehouse c12 or ET-65. After going back and forth I finally decided on the ET65. (Kinda like a creamback thing).

Wow. What a difference! I am a believer. I don't know if the stock speaker in the Blues Deluxe is that lousy, or the warehouse speaker is that good?!?!

Really opened that amp up and cut that flabby bass.

I may just start putting warehouse speakers in all my amps and cabs.

I really like the ET-65 as well

Goodsell amps used them for awhile. I like them to tame bright amps

I have a Retro 30 that I use in my Marshall DSL40. I’m a fan of WGS.

I have a Veteran 30 in a 2x12 cab paired with a Celestion Vintage 30, and an ET65 in a 1x12 cab. Love them both and recommend WGS to friends. WGS and Weber are my first call speaker manufacturers.

ET-65 is the perfect match for my Pro Jr.

I have an ET-65, I use it sometimes with my Quilter 101 Reverb head, I've used that speaker with other amps too, it's a good un!

I have a Warehouse Veteran 30 in a custom built Deluxe Reverb. I love it. The low-end in a DR can get really flubby when overdriven, but if I dial the bass back to 2-3 it’s a nonissue.

I bought a SFDR that had one, and it was fantastic for both clean and overdrive. When I sold that amp, the buyer didn't want the speaker, so I used it in a 1x12 cab with a couple different Marshall clone heads. Sounded great with those too!

I really like it.

"I don't know if the stock speaker in the Blues Deluxe is that lousy, or the warehouse speaker is that good?!?!"

A healthy dose of both, I am sure. Big WGS fan here, also,
