Clips: Eminence Governor vs. Celestion V30

[Lasse Lammert]

I'm just experimenting with a x-pattern of Governor and V30 in my Earforce cab.....

here are some clips for you

Speaker1

Speaker2

which one of the above clips do you prefer?

and just for fun here is a clip with the Gov on one side and the V30 on the other side



and for even more fun: a blend of both speakers on both sides
In this clip both speakers are equally loud, you can of course achieve interesting tones by different balances between the speakers....blending different speakers is fun!


which one do you like best overall ?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Speaker2 by a long shot. They all sound kinda hollow, though. Is it the cab itself?

 

[colonel_claypoo]

I prefer either the second or the blend.

it's mainly the EQ setting on the amp, didn't tweak it before reamping.

The EF does have a little bit of a mid scoop (hollowness) though, makes is sound less "smooth", but somehow very brutal at the same time IMO

 

[Derpsicle]

I like nr 2 also, more phat and shit..
Excited about the results!

 

[ttrentt]

Im also gonna go speaker 2, I like the high end cut of it (which makes me think its the V30.) I recorded a Legend1258 and it was bland.

 

[Mago]

Jop speaker 2 here too, a bit dark both clips are though

[Jevil]

Second and/or the blend

 

[Scott Horner]

Speaker 2. I can still hear more of speaker 1 on the blend but it also sounds good.

 

[jangoux]

I had a V30 / governor cab a couple years ago and the Governor sucked for recording. Too much fizz, weird midrange. Live it was awesome, tho'.

 

[chesterfieldblues]

Speaker 2, more attack, the other one is smoother, maybe better for leads

 

[BrettT]

Definitely prefer 2 for this kind of material.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Speaker 2 for sure

 

[Mago]

HAHAHA
thought the same when I clicked submit, was too lazy to edit it though
bare with me, I'm dizzy these days

 

[arvoitus]

Without watching all comments, i guess:
1 = Governor
2 = Celestion

I like the low end of the governor, but also the cutting midrange of the Celestion. The combined clip is the best!

 

[akbeda]

vote for Speaker2.
hope its the v30 cause i got my 1x12 with a v30 yesterday.

 

[Sloan]

on these KRK Rokit 5's they sound so close, one seems to have slightly more bite, i'm guessing the v30.

 

[Sloan]

Ah, after hearing the straight up chords near the end of the clip, I think the extra bite in clip 2 helps a ton, clip one sounds unclear and muffled in comparison.

I prefer 2 over 1, but the blend with both sounds class.
