Re: GK vs et all
My personal tastes are for a little old National, or maybe a
tweed Champ. I love small speakers and massive speaker distortion. I
bought a cart full of trashy 8" speakers from a local electronic surplus
sore and experimented with cutting the cone.. ala the Kinks. It sounded
interesting, but somehow put more of a load on the curcuit driving it, I
don't know why. What I mean in these most amateur terms is that a
resistor popped, and volume was far decreased.(Obviously because the
speaker was cut, but that meant that I had to crank the volume up, which
could be a problem with transformer "saturation")
Heck, I borrowed a friends Fender Squire 15 and loved it.
Playing through a Nalcad Green Bulletish thing, with the bass cranked all
the way up, (feeds back at above 1/4 through 3/4), treble and mids all
the way down... man cannot live upon Bassmen(?) alone..
