Speaker help for Dual Rect

[mwalluk]

Right now I'm running my Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb through a 1X12 Avatar cab w/ Vintage 30s and I'm looking to pair it with another 1X12 cab. What would be a good speaker match to mesh and contrast with the Vintage 30s? The Vinatge 30s are in a partial open back, the next one I'm thinking will be a closed back, if that helps?

There are lots of things that will do well to compliment a V30. First off though, what kind of tone are you going for? Off the top of my head, I would say either another V30 or a G12T-75 will get you somewhere.

The thing that comes into my mind about your setup, however, is that 1x12s don't typically sound very big or open. I would really recommend that you upgrade to at least a 2x12; I think the 1x12 is really limiting the tone from your amp. If it's an option, I would even go so far as to try your amp out in a couple of things before making a decision. Bring it to a guitar shop, and they should allow you to plug in. I think you'll find that a larger cab will vastly improve your tone!
