I am transitioning away from Fender amps after forever with them and now have a used JTM45 Ceriatone that arrived last week. I kept my 112 Avatar traditional open back cab just in case I needed it down the road but I also bought a Sourmash 2061cx cab closed back with option for partial closed used to pair with the JTM45 which arrived with two et65's in it. I popped those out as soon as it arrived and put in two Scumback M75 PVC's (I used to run just one 8 ohm M75 PVC in the Avatar 112 and it sounded fantastic). I put one of the ET65's in my old Avatar 112 cab. So I'm playing around with the Ceria JTM45 and it's sounding kind of sterile. I can't quite place my finger on it, but it's just not working for me. I'm doing some final testing today and seriously thinking of popping it right on Reverb and just being happy with the bassbreaker 15 head. I mean, the cleans are good and it's clean headroom is ridiculous for my needs but something aint working with the sound and oddly enough, the bass really isn't that heavy to my ears, I have it cranked to noon and then had it on full and it thickened up the tone some but I mean, it wasn't that big of a bottom end like everyone talked about. I checked my ohm switch on the JTM, everything is correct. I tried going partial closed back, full closed back and even tried moving the closed back section with the top open, bottom open etc. I tried reversing the wiring on the second speaker in the 212 sourmash, that made it sound incredibly thin and horrible so my wiring was correct in order to have my two 8ohm M75's be wired to 16 ohm. Finally for ***** and giggles, I tried plugging the JTM45 into the 112 avatar cab with et65's, switched the ohms back to 8 on the JTM45 and.... holy ****, there's my tone! HUGE bottom end, I had to turn the bass to zero and it's still nice and full, everything felt alive, it felt proper. Oh my god, the Ceriatone JTM45 through this 112 Avatar was so amazing. So... I know the M75's sound awesome in the Avatar 112, it can't be them... so I'm left deciding:
1. Is the wiring incorrect in the sourmash cab? When I received it, they obviously had created their own wiring inside as it's really thick speaker cable they're using where as the avatar shipped with much thinner black wire - I've attached pics.
2. Is this sourmash cab the worst cab ever made before? It's certainly beautiful on the outside and feels sturdy.
3. Is my Avatar 112 cab the greatest ever built
Ideas?
