Piedrot « His reputation is well deserved »
Published on 10/05/11 at 09:21I finally decided to give an opinion on the HP after trying in many different configurations.
I use it for about two years, but I had already met in the past, without knowing it was him (on an old brand combo Acoustic).
I start trying a lot of things fairly standard (Celestion, Jensen, Eminence, Weber, etc. ...); so yes I have tried a lot of HP (no, not mental hospitals, whatever ...) baffle in open, closed, 2X12, 4X12, etc. ...
The characteristic I like most is its perfect definition in all frequencies (at least those with a guitarist), its accuracy, its low and low mids.
If you are tired of the side, albeit biting, but the Celestion loud, try it.
It is said particularly suitable for clear sound. True, but it is also ideal for saturation. Two examples: On my old JCM800 I installed a Celestion Alnico Gold and it's great (one bite and aggression!) And then to see, I added a 2X12 closed (on the model of Mesa Boogie) by Electrovoice. By Jove! my combo ended up with big bollocks like that! I have never had such a good sound in 25 years of experience and stage. So I offended my tests, I was ready an old Orange OR120 head: a baffle mounted 4X12 Marshall Celestion greenback was hairy, but a little too loud and aggressive. I was going to the amp, a little disappointed. Great idea, I plug the speaker cited 2X12. O miracle, never heard a sound as thick, I felt like taking a kick in the ass every time I swung a power chord, and yet I do not like kicking ass! Enjoyable.
I could multiply examples of his clear, crunch, saturated, but it's useless. Electrovoice I ride now, and you do as you please.
Its only drawback is the weight, it must weigh 7 or 8 pounds. Think about it before installing it in an already heavy combo.
I bought mine secondhand for about 150 euros. Yes I do it again this election and I have already done because I just get me an old pair again (like Dad). What makes me four (not like Dad).
