Any suggestions on how to get a ripped speaker sound?

paults · Apr 20th 2014

"Country Fun" and the "Silverclone" amps have a 6" or 8" speaker.

There are many small speakers on the Rig Exchange, as small as 1" (Marshall MS4) and 2" (Studio T2), There are others with 1x3.5, 1x4, 1x6, 1x8.

Thanks guys, your help is greatly appreciated.

Duke, Paul,
Wanted to let you both know that the small speakers are way closer to the demo clip with the LovePedal, many thanks for the tips. Cone breakup seems to be the secret ingredient. Don Petersen asked me to profile the pedal which I'll attempt today. And I ordered a Marshall Mini MS2 to try to get the whole chain as a profile. I think some folks would find this sound interesting. Mucho obligato, gentlemen.

I'm looking forward to that profile - I could definitely use that sound for some music:)

I'm looking forward to that profile too! would sound great with a dobro man... gimmie some ol' Foghat funkiness...
(did it on an album with a 65 Blackface Princeton and a Tubescreamer... smoking'!!!

I'm profiling away, will pm you both just before I post ... as soon as I nail it. I'm getting close.
Hey Duke! Funny coincidence, I just ordered a Paul Beard Goldtone Signature squareneck with a Legend cone!

Well, then, all three of us will have one! My squareneck is a '30s Oahu.

lay the track as hot as you can... reamp it with the profiler!!! it'll be smokin'!!

have fun!!

Hey Paul. Wow, tres chic on the Oahu! Got a picture? Years ago I had a chance to buy a '30's Rick frying pan but didn't pull the trigger, wish I would have.

Duke, I'll crank the piss of out it.

My Oahu looks just like the one in the back of this picture. These have a metal (aluminum?) bridge - they have great sustain. I have a Dean Markley soundhole pickup for it, but it sounds great with microphones.

I do the same though I like a blended tone.. the pickup seems to get me a bit more umph to the KPA while the Neumann KM184 gets me a very sweet acoustic sound.. I like to track the pickup direct through the KPA and mic direct to tape... then I can get a nice blend... Kind of like dual amping (or now-a-days tweaking the amp stack with clarity, definition, pick and sag) where you get one tone and blend the clean track for clarity..

It's all good..

Agreed - I primarily use mine with mics for atmospheric, swampy things. But, I really like the hot rod sound of adding some gain with the pickup/Kemper for rock slide.
