speakers - duane allman

[buzzp]

If I want to chase Duane Allman's tone... what are those JBL speakers he uses?

[MikeVB]

Think Duane's were the Unobtanium model.

[gillman royce]

Not sure if they were the stock celestions ( Live at the Fillmore) but the 4x12 cabs were turned into open back and he was running 50 watt head(s)

They were Cerwin Vega ER123's I have chased this tone for years and these are the missing link.I have this setup in a 4x12 marshall 100bhw cab,this is what he used on the fillmore recordings,also rumours say he mixed these with H30 celestions?

Weber makes good reissues for either,good Jbl's are going for up to $350.00 per speaker and the Cerwins if you get originals are insane,try Er124"s they are just as good and less if you find them,I would contact weber and ask them what your looking for? It took me years to find the Cerwins.

You might want to flame me for this, but I was playing through an Eminence Texas Heat, (about $75 new) and I thought it got pretty damn close to that Fillmore East sound

[buzzp]

Is it worth changing my celestion v30 and g12h30 out to get "closer" to the duane tone? I have a budget keep in mind

[big mike]

maybe lose the V30 for a JBL.

Check out member edgewound...believe he's a JBL Reconer/restorer.

[buzzp]

I'll start there then.

Yep mixing C Vega ER 123s with Celestions or clones like Scumbacks is the ticket. He did use JBL D120's as well - but switched to the CV's sometime in 1971. This clip is a plexi Marshall 1986 clone into a 2-12 with a Scumnico and CV ER 123.
