Eminence Speaker Demo: The Governor & Man O War

[thejohnnyh70]

lovely tones....where can I buy Emminence Speaker chassis`s in England!! i.e.who stocks them!! can someone please tell as I want one asap!!

[jp6l6]

I'd say Billy Gibbons sound is closer to a Patriot Texas Heat

[guitarnoize]

@jp6l6 well Eminence told me that it was this combo in his live rig, not necessarily on recordings

[Sgalaga]

seen both of your Red coat and Patriot series demo, awesome demo!!! what do you think of mating Governor and the Swamp thing? thanks

[getbackgoodtimes]

Nice playing . Vintage 30s and G 75s will do the trick ..

[DrRobotnikYNWA]

Great demo, great playing! I think you found me my new speaker combo!

[guitarnoize]

@DrRobotnikYNWA thanks! I'm glad you liked it, hope you enjoy this speaker combo too

[llangwyk]

Beautifully well played chap !

[pvbaelen]

The gold standard of speaker demo's......really nice....

[guitarnoize]

@pvbaelen thank you very much!

[llangwyk]

What a first class demo, and lovely composition. Beautifully played. Thank you.

[Wolharigbadeendje]

Nice piece of music!

[guitarnoize]

@bmerfunitec thank you I'm glad you found it useful, yes this combination makes for a killer cabinet. Billy Gibbons uses this combo of speakers in his cabs

[bmerfunitec]

Oh and...thanks for your professional setup to allow this insight.

[bmerfunitec]

Their voices together make for a very good cabinet choice? Great individually but...insanely good together.

[patton1970]

Excellent presentation. I wish all speaker manufactures would present their products in a similar fashion. Side by side comparison in an actual musical setting really shows the potential in each.

Ironically I have been debating on which one of these very two would be best suited in a Mesa. I think the Man O War may fit the bill best, being my Mesa is a bit dark in the first place.

Thanks for posting your review. It help me very much.

[jp6l6]

@patton1970 Actually I wonder if the Wizard would not fit better again for you ? Clearer than a Gonernor and fuller than a Man O War. Just my opinion.

[patton1970]

@jp6l6 Funny you would suggest the Wizard. Since my initial post, after a bit more research on the Eminence site, I actually ordered up a Wizard and installed it. It is working out perfectly for what I was wanting. A great speaker..

[jp6l6]

@patton1970 Great minds are probably meeting :o)

[Krankenstein4]

man this is some really good guitar playing i really like it a lot man thanks for the demo

[guitarnoize]

@MrDanielf2413 have you tried different preamp tubes? Maybe switching the V1 for something else would have more effect?

[guitarnoize]

@MrDanielf2413 wow lots of questions, do Eminence suggested matching speakers as I have in my demos rather than patriots with red coats so not sure how swamp thang & gov would sound together but Swamp is more like a Brit speaker than Texas heat so might be ok

[jp6l6]

@guitarnoi

[jp6l6]

@guitarnoize To me the Swamp Thang sounds typically american, a real dream to swap Celestion V30 for these when coupled to a Fender Supersonic.

[guitarnoize]

@MrDanielf2413 the speaker cabinet is open backed

[MrDanielf2413]

What about the eminence patriot SWANP THANG ? into the HT-club 40 combo ? I just heard it and I wonder if it would watch with HTV 212 cabinet with the eminence governor and man-o-war ? I'm new at this speakers combination...that's why I refer to your expertise...I'm 58 years old and use to have a Fender Super Reverb and a stratocaster. I learned with that...that's it. Now that I'm hooked on TONE...lol I refer to a much more experienced TONE addick then I. :)

[MrDanielf2413]

oups sorry I repeated myself ...I hope you understand.

[MrDanielf2413]

.If I keep my 40 watt, buy a MXR 10 band EQ and buy a HTV212 cabinet, I would end up with 3 speakers when hooked up to the combo. If I change the two speakers in the cabinet for the eminence combination; what SPEAKER would I put in the combo ? What would you recommend ? And if I keep the 40 Watt what SPEAKER would I put into the combo amp ? In order to match or compliment the HTV212 cabinet with the eminence combination? scuse my English writing I'm Francophone. lol

[MrDanielf2413]

I'm thinking that I should get the stage 60, change the speakers with the eminence combination. And then, get a blackstar HTV212 cabinet...change the speakers with the same eminence combination. If I go and play with a friend one on one, I just take the combo with me. However, If I go play with the band, I take the cabinet with me. Understand ? There's the bug...lol....

[MrDanielf2413]

Wow love the sound ! Question ... did you close the back of the cabinet or did you leave it open?

I own the Blackstar Ht-club 40. The clean section excellent sound.  Overdrive channel...If I raise the gain past the middle, I can't hear the chords...only the picking solo sound great...even with the ISFbouton ..to me it is not that great. Anyway, I was going to exchange it for the Ht-stage 60 because I would get 2 speakers and better EQ. That being said here is the reason why I wrote to you

[kranskyman27]

Governer = Vintage 30, Man O War = G12T75

[Rrracket]

BTW I wonder what tune this is - is your original song? Very catchy and beautiful playing. Great combination of mellow and fire breathing licks

[guitarnoize]

@Rrracket Thanks, well kind of. It's a backing track available from Jamtrackcentral that has no guitars on it, I layered the rhythm tracks then recorded solos over that

[Rrracket]

@guitarnoize Then I would say it's your composition, arrangement etc. - you are the creator. Very original. You should put it on iTunes. A longer version would be even better

[Rrracket]

yeah, excellent demo

[HappyOrangeTheBand]

Very good demo mate.

[Coonstev]

Can you please do one with Eminence Governor and Swamp Thang combo? Please Please Please???

[Cyprusg21]

Fantastic demo! nice job, subscribed

[CRANKYONE100]

do you like Steve Stevens by any chance Jon? :-P

[trhnpc]

they blend nice together. But the governor sounds a bit more clear which I like.

[pastorkev777]

WGS (Warehouse Guitar Speakers) are the best, you should check them out. For me my favorite Eminence speaker is the Cannabis Rex. -PK

[HappyOrangeTheBand]

@pastorkev777 Yes I love my Cannabis Rex as well.

[omarerosas]

do governor vs wizard vs tonker... hell do all red coat series!! great video by the way!
