    EV 12L

    I've tried out a lot of speakers in my Boogie. For years I was on a quest for the perfect Boogie speaker. I tried Celestions, EVs, many Eminence models etc. The EVs were my favorites. Nothing beat the sound of the EVM-12L BLACK LABEL in the Boogie. Very rich, lively, and dynamic. Plenty of...

    Here's my S.O.B. Here are some recordings that feature this S.O.B. Boogie. I sing and play guitar in a band called the Fitzroy Terrors; http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/1207729

    Wasn't very impressed with the Celestion G12H-100. Not much bottom end. Kind of gritty on the top. Oh well, the search continues.

    Thanks for checking out the track! No pedals, just straight into the amp. For the recording enthusiasts, the amp was set on a chair in the middle of a 15' x 15' room. I used three microphones. One on axis in the middle of the cone, one on the back, and a PZM mic 5 feet away on the floor...

    Just bought a second hand Celestion G12H-100 for $125. I'm about to install it. I'll let you know how it goes...

    Here's a recording I made of a song called Aura. Listen for the solo and you'll hear the S.O.B. shining! http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/155521

    Interesting. The EVM-12L and the C90 seem like the classics. I take it that both of those speakers are 8 ohms? I'd love to test drive those speakers in my S.O.B.

    Tried out the 8 ohm Eminence Wizard speaker. It was a bit louder sounding. The sound improved somewhat with burn in time but it didn't sound nearly as sweet as the EV Force 16 ohm speaker plugged into the amp's 8 ohm output. I put the EV back into the amp. Much better! There's a juicy...

    Son of a Boogie

    With all this talk about power tubes I just changed mine. Put in some new GT6L6CHPs. They sound great. Much like the GT6L6Ss but fresher. It's hard for me to compare the sound of the S.O.B. to a famous guitar player's sound. It has a sound of it's own. Throaty, rich, expressive but not...

    I'm talking about GT-6L6C. I sat down once and tried out all the Groove Tube 6L6 types back to back. Also tried Mesa Brand, Sovteks, and Fender. Mind you, this was a few years back but the GT-6L6C was the best sounding tube for the S.O.B. I purchased a pair with a rating of 7. I would go for...

    Love the SOB combo. It's got a tone that you'll never tire of. Juicy. Use the Groove Tubes Sylvania 6L6s. This amp is something special.

    Best speaker for S.O.B. combo

    Hi everyone, I've been playing and enjoying an early 80's S.O.B. open back combo. I believe it's around 50 watts. I'd like to put a better 12" speaker in it. I've been using an EV Force 16 Ohm speaker plugged into the 8 Ohm output. Maybe that's why I'm not getting as much loud clean volume...
