So I have been trying out an Andrews Spectraverb 20 watter and it comes with the WGS G12C/S in it. That little Andrews amp sounds so freakin good. Out of curiosity I put one of the WGS G12C/S in my 1x12 Mesa Boogie Maverick and it sounds really good in it.
I have never been one to like a C12N type speakers due to how they sound dirty. The cleans are great but the overdrive tones are not to my liking. Now I'm talking about recent vintage not 50 year old speakers.
So this WGS speaker sounds really good. It has a very BF pleasing clean tone, then it crunches really good, and it goes dark/smooth when you throw the gain to it. I never would have tried this type of speaker given my experience with similar speakers in the past but this thing is very good.
As compared to the stock Mesa/Celestion MC-90, I would say it's just a tad brighter, a bunch crunchier, and much smoother when overdriven. It also yields a kind of kwirky vintagey type tone in a way (if that makes any sense).
Just thought I would mention it.
Dang!
