Weber's H30 speaker with pre rola dope is fabulous...

[Meathead]

HAHAHAH!! Yeah the "For the money..." thing is retardedly overused. I interpret that as "It sounds terrific, but I can't let myself like it because it's not boutique!"

The only thing about the 65's is that I don't know what options are on them. Shreder got them 2nd hand from someone and doesn't know the doping specs etc...

The 65 will have less highs than the 1230 due to the larger dust cap. If he takes one out you can tell how much dope is on them just by looking. The pre rola treatment is a lot of dope. It's not just on the surrounding accordion, it goes on the cone as well on the outer and inner parts. If you are gigging and cranking up loud I recommend it, for home playing that's not very loud, it's not really needed as much. It's to keep the cone more in control at loud volumes and stop cone cry.

Weber actually recommends not to bother with the pre rola doping for mostly low volume playing, it could make the speaker sound better for low volume playing to have it less restricted from doping.

That's interesting...
Maybe some light doping would be perfect then.

How about that...a company that actually talks you out of spending more money on additives.

Imagine calling Celestion and asking for something more specific to be done to your speaker you are about to purchase from them.

When I first bought speakers from Ted in 1999 we emailed back and forth quite a bit, I was unsure seeing as nobody I knew had a Weber speaker, he was pretty unheard of. I would describe what I liked and he would recommend what I needed. Ted was a great guy and very honest and helpful...he wanted to deliver a great product from my experience, nothing else.

I know right? Novel idea.
I think it's because he's not catering to n00bs...

I have seen very little reviews on the Weber 1225 or 1230, so its cool to to hear that the 1230's with pre-Rola doping are nice. I just ordered a Scumback H75 65W. It and a scumico are replacing my 2 Celestion anni G12H30's for my Vox AC50. The anni G12H30's are going in another cab. I still like the anni G12H30's, even though they can be a bit harsh in the highs at times.

I also had a Weber 1265 speaker, not sure on the doping, but it was a nice speaker. Pretty dark sounding. I find the WGS ET-65's to be a little more balanced and not as dark.

Randy, when you get the Scumback H75 100Watter in, please post a comparison with the Weber 1230.
