Speaker Size

Now. I have tried and tried and tried and tried to replicate that trombone tone ever since. Nothing, I haven't even really gotten close. Same bass. Same settings on the same model amp into the same board. Not even similar. I don't know why.


Overtones - it was the mix/combination of all the tracks that caused the effect.

PS - thanks for sharing the story, I enjoyed reading it.
 
I have a 30w class A tube amp... I don't need to play that loud either. Closed back Orange 2x12 guitar with Celestion Vintage 30s worked best for me. I will say all the better 4x10s sounded great as well, Aggie, Berg, Epi, Schroeder, etc.
 
For a single cab rig I prefer 1x15, for the big rig I add two 2x10 cabs (and another 1x15)
If I use a medium sized rig I prefer 1x15 and 2x10, best of both worlds and best sounding imho.
I have the old Mesa Diesel series cabs (all EVM loaded) not sure if you would get the same result with the Hartkes/other brands though...
This pretty much echo's my feeling on the subject. I use a GK Backline 250 with a cerwin vega cabinet with a 15" JBL.
and I always though a 2x10 cabinet would balance it out.
