Best speaker to tame upper mid heavy amp

[Swanation45]

I have an amp that has a ton of upper mids, even if I scoop the mids it is still pretty strong. My 4x12 cab has V30/Creamback H75's and it's just too much IMO. Any recommendations on a speaker that has a scooped eq curve to tame this? Thanks!!

The good ol' G12T75 found in most Marshall cabs does a good job of getting rid of an upper mid spike, no doubt. That'd be my first choice.

This was the first speaker that came to mind

Greenbacks, the best speaker ever made imo

I would keep the H75s put them on the bottom and get some G12T75s up top . I use that combination in my rig in my avatar which was pretty mid heavy with all the other speakers I tried and the G12T75s did the trick

Thanks, I was thinking G12T-75 or K100's too

I had the same problem in my 412 with the V30/H75 combo. I kept the V30’s, swapped the H75’s for Jensen Electric Lightning’s and now it’s hands down my favorite speaker combo I’ve tried. The Electric Lightning are just what you’re describing

I've seen you comment on these Jensen's numerous times...you are peaking my interest & and I don't thank you Lol!


OP, K100s are a bit neutral, not scooped by any means, but they've played nice with many many amps I've run through them.

What about G12-65's or redbacks?

They may do what you want in reducing uppermids, but I find those too dark for my taste and the 65’s won’t scoop the mids from what I remember them being like in my cab. Maybe the 65’s could work well with the V30’s, but my 412 with all 65’s was way too dark imo

The T75 isn’t a bad option either, but I think the Fane F90 does what that speaker does a bit better. I swapped the T75’s out in my Ubercab (stock was V30/T75 combo) and prefer the Fane F90’s a bit more, but still liked it a lot stock

M65 instead of the V30's. I have an H and M mix cab and it sounds warm and great

You're referring to creamback 65M's and creamback H75's yes?

Not saying it's a bad sounding mix or it won`t work but the Creamback H&M mix didn't work for me . Warm might not be something the OP is after if he wasn't to tame the mids i`d think something bright would help . For me the G12T75 was just what the doctor ordered and it's a fairly inexpensive speaker . It's been working great paired with the H75s

Smoother/warmer tone with the G12T-75's on top and Creamback H75's on bottom?

Thats how I've got those speakers set up in my Splawn 4x12 using my Splawn SS EL34 . I wouldn't say its a smooth warm tone , it's got bite and snarl without piercing highs . I go for tones like George Lynch , Warren D , Blackout era Scorpions . It was a warmer tone when I had the M65s mixed with H75s
