I get these asked so often from players that I've finally decided to post a thread with the six questions I need you to answer before I recommend a Scumback for improving your guitar tone.
When I recommend speakers for players, it’s important to know their tone needs. Can you fill in the blanks on these questions for me, please? Then I can make an informed recommendation on speakers to improve your tone. Thanks!
1. Guitar/pickups used, how hot do you set your guitar volume?
2. Amp type/tubes used/clean RMS rating (volume of 4-5) and OD power rating (over 5-7)?
Where is your amp’s volume set?
3. Fx pedals used?
4. Style of music or name a famous guitarist tone you’re trying to get close to?
5. Size and depth of cabinet (dimensions), is it straight or angled, open or closed back type?
6. What speakers are you using now and what do you think needs improvement?
If you can answer these six questions for me, I can do a much better job recommending a replacement speaker for you.
:)
Thanks!
