Hi. I'm asking because I would appreciate any guitar speaker cabinet suggestion for my amp.
bigbadbassHi. I'm asking because I would appreciate any guitar speaker cabinet suggestion for my amp.
Hello. Thank you. It's a Peavey 6505 Piranha head (hybrid solid state power section and tube driven pre amp section). The guitar is an SG Yes you guessed it right. It's for heavy rock. I've been told that any cab with a Celestion V30 or similar speaker will sound well. It will not be terribly loud, since it's a hybrid amp (15 Watt at 8 ohm, 10 at 16), but I would definitely like a good cab for another head. There's a 1x12 loaded with a Greenback in same price range. It's a question of playing and choosing between Hughes & Kettner, Orange and Peavey (sound, weight, etc.). I don't know if you have experience with these speakers. Thanks again. P.S. I tried the head with the Orange PPC 112 and it sounds great.what amp, guitar, type of music? in an actual band or home practice setting? (Is volume and power a consideration)
Is your amp a combo (amp and speaker, and you are looking for an extension speaker?
Inquiring minds want to knowwwww : )
1000 watts?!. Wow!. I knew that bass amps were powerful, but 1000 watts?. Tha's probably loud enough for the Yankee Stadium!.
in a home setting, any of your mentioned Celestion speakercabs would sound fine. Also, explore 2 x 10 cabs, the smaller speakers are "driven" a bit more and deliver the "crunch" so familiar with rock guitar.
A combo amp (amp and matched speaker housed together) also an affordable option...Fender of course.
Once you get into playing "out"...power becomes essential to both penetrate a room, meanwhile deliver clarity.
To contrast..my Genz-Benz GB1200 is rated at 1000watts @ 4 ohm, 1200 @ 2ohm. I vary the load via using different cabs.. depending on the room single 4 x10, two 4 x 10...
4 x 8, single or two 8 x 8...single 15, single 18....or combinations. I own a ton of vintage SWR bass cabs, accrued over many years.
Bug is currently living amongst the many cabs stacked in my music room.
Of course, effects pedals (wah, delay, chorus, etc) can enhance your sound. There are oodles of choices out there.
Hey, good luck and keep rockin' !
