This totally changes the sound of your amp #guitar #guitaradvice #guitarlesson

Take a shot every time Rhett says ‘moving air’ on this channel

"The biggest thing you can do is change the speakers or speaker cabinet" Glenn Fricker has entered the chat.

Love hearing someone that actually knows it is the Speakers and Cab ... not tubes, pu's or tone wood! Thank you!

[robertnickel]

Adding side by side audio clips exhibiting comparison sounds would have been compelling

[adamziolkowski]

Gosh. I wish 4x12s and big boy amps would make a comeback. So cool.

[pyroman]

To add to your comments, i was astonished when i found out just how many EPIC guitar solos and sounds from back in the day- were actually played through a small combo turned all the way up.

We all saw the walls of stacks onstage, as well as the big hogh watt heads they were known for using. It was natural to assume that's what we were hearing. But...

Imagine being in a small recording studio with that monster dimed- for hours and hours- while recording. Imagine LIVING near that studio, lol. You'd kill your hearing!!

Makes way more sense, when you understand how tube amps work

[claudevieaul]

True!!
I normally use a 1x12" cab during rehearsals and live, but for recording I have an oversized 2x12" cab (primarily closed but can be partially opened too) with a Celestion Vintage30 (Anniversary) and a lovely vintage Rola-Celestion G12H Greenback - both are very well played in, and the combination gives me plenty of options for micing, regardless of the style I'm currently playing!

Friendly reminder that tone wood and pickups don't matter. Only real difference is single coil, p90s, and humbuckers. Don't waste money on new pickups unless your pickups are microphonic

[ili-ili]

You always talk 5000$ stuff but the biggest sound difference is microphone and speaker placement, before just going yolo with high end stuff.

[Dan.Solo.Chicago]

Speakers are as important to tone as your pickups, but they’re the most overlooked, and taken for granted aspect to tone.

[Metalbass]

Agreed! Old Crate amps sounded terrible with their own speakers. Change them out or the whole cabinet and they were amazing.

[christianjforbes]

Amps are like engines
Speakers are the tires and suspension
Lots of epic horsepower into a crap cabinet gives bad results … but a simple amp into a brilliant cab/speaker combo is always lovely

[theballpythonproject]

Dont forget the different color changes whether anyone gives two fucks or not about what music youre playing.

[rickmiller]

You know the tone is good, when the bottom lip sticks out.

[Bhraonain]

Cool - I have a little 1x8, but I'm currently building a 1x12... Excited to hear it now!

[ummagumma]

Would love to see you and Rick talk about recording in the 1950s specifically I Only Have Eyes For You. No overdubs apparently

[tonekilltech]

Wait, so you're telling me the biggest factor in how an amp sounds is all the different variables that change the sound of an amp?! I'm shook. 🤯

[bryanwilliams]

Would 2x12" speakers or even 1x 12" speakers work in a 4x12 Cabinet or is that large box simply WRONG soundwise with that amount of "free space" undamped in that box.

[JimmyKSimmonsOfficial]

My #1 4X12 cab was a DL Monsoon - deep and chunky - roadie's called it the "dead body" because it was so heavy 😂 - #2 was an old slanted Laney - The thing would give you a haircut if you were up front 😂
