My Triple Crown 50 through 2 Creamback 75s in a closed Orange cabinet sounds . . . the best sound I think I have ever had and maybe heard. Put my Friedman to shame in both high gain and clean channel modes.

I have a Triple Crown 50 arriving hopefully tomorrow. I am planning on running it through a small Orange 2X12 closed back with 2 Creamback 75s in it. I am hoping this will give it some lower end to match that monstrous mid range. I will also hook it up to 3 other 2X12s configured as follows...

Greenbacks are nice, but I lean toward the Creamback 75 because it matches the Vintage 30 in efficiency. Both are 100db. The Greenback I believe is 98. Still close though. The Anniversary and the Creamback 75 are both great matches for the Vintage 30 from an efficiency standpoint.

Cool. Always tinkering with speakers. Thanks for the recommendation. I do not know speakers that well outside the Celestion line up. I only paid $350 for those Orange Cabinets with the idea to the Voice of America speakers out and put my favorite Creamback 75s in as I like the cabinet...

I picked up 2 of those Jim Root Orange 2X12 cabinets marked down to half price here in Bali. They have those Orange Voice of America speakers in them. Gotta say, they really are not that bad. I dropped 2 Creamback 75s into one and added a Celestion Anniversary into the other and I honestly...

Love it. Could not pay me enough to set foot back in the US. I have stuff there I still need bring over such as music gear and own 6 houses there, but no way I would go back as I am afraid something would happen and I would get stuck there with all the crazy stuff going on. You really don't...

As many as we want. I have a female vocalist from Germany we are now grooming. One of the best natural talents/voice I have heard. Guitar player from Suicidal Tendencies and I are writing for her now and about to take her into the studio as I can get her signed pretty quickly back home once...

That little Tech 21 2 X 12 combo with a Cremeback and a V 30 will actually give you a Marshall tone with ease including JCM and a Plexi. My little Friedman demon really cannot be compared to a Marshall. It’s better. I grew up playing Plexis in large venues and small and now I am blown away by...

In Bali now and all of my good stuff is back in the US (VH4, Triamp and Dr. Z gear). I also have Vox and Tech21 with Cremeback and V30 here. Just picked this setup in Jakarta and had it shipped here. This Friedman JJ Jr. pumping through just 2 V30s open back upper and 2 Voice of the World...

Vox AC10 with new tubes and an Alnico blue or maybe a green back in the cab replacing the VX10. We plugged it into an open back cabinet with 2 X 12 Vintage 30s today and the amp blew me away. I put JJ power tubes and Electro Harmonix 12AX7s.

Dupe

So I picked up this little 10 Watt Vox used at Bali music store to use for this Bali school of Rock for local community children in Bali. Lightweight, cheap and etc. I just retubed it with JJ power tubes and Electro Harmonix 12AX7s and got a little Orange 2 X 12 open back with Vintage 30s and...

Not super worried about it, but do you think the use of the Richlite board will keep values down. Thanks for all the help. He is a photo of the Black Beauty with other tools of trade I have assembled here in Bali. Still waiting on my equipment to get over.

How do I check the fingerboard? So at least it appears to be legit? I found only 1 other just like it for sale on Reverb. They wanted $5,300 ish. As you may gather, kind of newish at Les Pauls. Been playing custom shop strats since early 90s and before that Jackson Randy Rhodes and 80s...
