Basement Rig Transformation - new gear before and after pics

....well not really a basement, more like room above the garage...

BEFORE....

AFTER....

I'm basically in love with the Fryette Fat Bottom cab loaded with Fane speakers, I was lucky enough to get a second one locally - used/mint at a decent price so I couldn't resist. Every amp in the first picture sounded better through the Fryette cab - vs the Diezel cab and my rear-loaded cabs. Ultimately though the UL won out and the rest of the amps were sold off. I'm going to set this up as W/D.

I even loaded some Fane F70s into one of my Wizard cabs - I'm a big fan of Fanes - I absolutely hated the Fryette FB cab when I had one with the p50e, but I've never played an eminence speaker that I liked.


also this transition is currently in process.....

BEFORE....

ALMOST AFTER (still waiting on the new Wizard cab)....

Just got the new Modern Classic II KT150 loaded with 4 KT88s. I just unboxed it yesterday so not a lot of time on it yet. But so far, compared to the el34 version, it pretty much takes it up a notch...thicker, more girth/balls. A little more modern sounding with an even tighter low-end. Basically what you'd expect when comparing the tube types in the same amp. It does have a different transformer than the el34 version. I'm a big fan of KT88s in amps so I couldn't resist buying this.

WoW , that says a lot about how much you like your Fryette gear ! And obviously the Wizard stuff. Having owned a Ultralead and CLX I understand where youre coming from. I also had a couple of the Fatbottom cabs but with the speakers they used to use befor the Fanes. I liked the cab but didnt love it , it has a nice punchy sound but the mids were little hollow in certain frequencies and they could have been a bit thinker sounding in general ....

Anyways you may have covered this already in other threads but what do you like so much about the Fanes in comparison to other speakers.

Curious if you had any insight... Are there Fane F70G speakers that Fryette puts into their cabs any different from a regular F70? I've half a mind to swap my P50E's for the Fanes.

I don’t think they are different other than cosmetic...based on statements in the thread I linked above.

Thanks for that link.

Did you by chance ever mix the Fane F70 with P50E's in the same cab? Curious how they would go together.
