bubs_42 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have been using them for 8 years off and on. I have kept a very special 40/40 that comes and goes, but here recently I installed it into the Mather Cab that I just had build. I did it only to try it because I was bored and I was floored. I think its just the size of the cabinet that made it work. I have been using a CV65, Red Fangs for about a year now and they work for and I like them, but they are loud ass speakers and don't break up as fast as this one does. I'm going to try a 10" Version soon in my 2x10, I have been talking it over with a TT Dealer, and I may pull the trigger soon. What I really need is just more cabs.

Jakeboy Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I had a TT 40/40 in my old Lil Dawg Pug for a while and found it was the PUNCHIEST speaker I had ever heard. I bet the 10s would kill with my blonde Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Having put the brakes on playing out, it is time I should cut some of my builds loose. But it has been a good learning experience to experiment with different sizes and types of cabinets., then pair them with different size and type speakers. I def think the "Forte" type rule. But Shawn should try one of these for "casual" gigs......Assuming he has at least two strong backs......😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 @django49 nope, not going to happen. LOL I wanted too do that for a long time, but now I don't want to carry anything that heavy. I just ordered a 10" 40/40 and one Red to mix in my 2x10. So we will see, I will move the "Extra" 10" Red Fangs to offset the purchase. Those are amazing speakers as well, but I never use them as singles always mixed. They are rocking Alnico Speakers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yeah, with two EVM FIFTEEN Ls, that is about the equal, size and weight, of a heavy duty 4 x 12. FWIW, you might want to try one of those "Plug and Play" plates for your 2 x 10. It allows you to easily use the 2 x in either 4 or 16 ohms (when you have 2 8 ohm speakers) or to use the speakers separately if you have a stereo amp. Or just a single 10". I makes it easy to experiment, esp if you have mismatched speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two amps (EL84 and 6V6), two cabs (2x10 and 1x12) with convertible backs, and a handful of guitars. I have three non guitar related guitar projects that need money and time. I also have to keep coming up with ways to talk my wife out of moving. I think she has finally had it with IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogieMKIIA Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have one in my Mesa./Boogie Express 5:25 and am digging. It is a bright and I was able to EQ things nicely. I also have a Winterland which is brighter due to the thinner cone. Two things I experience with TT speakers - 1. They need to be driven a bit to get the best tone. 2. They really respond to different tone/EQ settings, pickups and amps. I don't have many cabinets to play with. Of course the cab is a sensitive component in the tone chain. Would love to spend some time with this collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Slightly OT, but I bought a Red Fang 10 off Bubs and it is simply a fab alnico. The 12” Fang has always been my fave in most applications, but the 10 sounds every bit as good but a little faster due to the size. If he sells the others, someone here should buy them.

bubs_42 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Bass Cabs, I do believe. A 15", horn and a tweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Never tried a TT, but I put a Cannabis Rex in my '65 DRRI and it sounded real good (traded it for my Dr Z a few weeks ago). I really like those cabs, Django. I just got this funky old Univox 12" ported PA cab (converted for guitar w/ a Greenback), great small rig w/ the Quilter; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 The Rex is a smoother pickup than the Tubby. The Canis Major was really smooth and smokey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1x15s and 2x12s on either end of the middle row are powered by a stereo power amplifier fed by a mixer for the acoustic side of a duotone. I built a jfet splitter to run all the heads together for the electric side. Great for living room noodling. The whole rig is pretty full sounding.

bubs_42 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Red Alnico showed up today. DOA!! Everything worked out with the seller, it appears to have taken a shot in shipping and has a ton of cone rub. I didn't even bother plugging it in.

bubs_42 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 He did just fine, I put it back on a big brown truck yesterday and he supplied me with my refund. It was easy, I hope he can recoup some money. He bought a Red brand new, paid to have it broken in and then never used it. I was lucky to have found a Red, 10," 16ohms, but now I may end up buying another 40/40 new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
