Do you have thoughts on the similar Eminence Texas Heat? It’s similar but less low end and top end. I had one once and really liked to for heavy riffs, I regret getting rid of it. It’s often described as boxy since I guess it’s mid heavy. I have a Celestion Redback in an open back combo, which I love. I’ve considered a Texas Heat or Swamp Thing in a closed back cabinet. I play lots of doom and classic rock.
they compliment each other in reaching frequencies the other doesn’t do perfect. match them up sounds great. from cleans, blues, rock, SRV, to hendrix fuzz.
After the Alnico Blue, this is my second favorite speaker. I love the aggressive mids and tight chugging lows for high gain stuff. I love the Alnico Blue with a clean tone and a neck pickup. I really need 2 amps...
@@ZillaCabs The Swamp Thang I think is a speaker best paired with another, more mid forward, speaker. Definitely worth trying different combos, especially as you have lots of speaker options to try.
swamp thing sounded better then the tonker in all you played. another area to try is “blues and SRV style.” it shines! glad i’ve had one in my HRD for 7 years now and absolutely love it.
At first I thought ok it has that T75 beehive thing going on and it turned out that the Tonker was just super muffled in comparison. Quite a bit of gain was pushed through at the end and it sounded pretty balanced, not shrill at all but aggressive high mids. Good stuff!
@@ZillaCabs I think my next Zilla procurement will be a 1x12 Mini-Stack. One cab in Fender livery and the other in Hiwatt My back has made a "management decision", that my 2x12 stack is agoraphobic :-)
Tonker sounds really dark, which i think complements really well with the Swamp Thang sound, or other speakers that are oftentimes used for high gain tones.
I thought the Swamp Thang sounded way better than the Tonker. The Tonker sounded like it had a blanket over it, while the Swamp Thang sounded like it had more treble and was a lot clearer.
I like this but the Hempback just pipped it for me personally. I see both these as two sides of the same coin. I like bluesy riffs, and clean lines with ambient delays.
The mids are probably closest to the cream neo, but it's got that massive chugging low end. Which is why if you play a 7 string or Baritone tuned to A standard, this is the speaker you need to actually capture those low notes.
@@nunninkav Looking at the frequency charts the Hempback has more low end. Its more cliff-like a rolloff from 250hz down. The Swamp just cuts way more out there. They both have the 2-5k hump than a massive drop-off from there. However the Swamp has a deeper cut at 1.5k which could make it sound thrashier in places. I would not use the Swamp for bass unless backed up by a dedicated bass speaker.

What do you think? Do you think you could make the Swamp Thang work for you?

also swamp thang paired with a texas heat is pure heaven.
I've read this a few times. What it is about that combo? I'm curious!

@@kenodysseys Sounds great!
I’ve got two of these in a Marshall 4x12 paired with a couple MojoTone Greyhounds. It sounds good and doesn’t sound like what you’d get off the shelf.

One of my favourites for sure. I have one paired with a Redback in a 2x12 and it sound HUGE
Cool that sounds like a nice mix.
Your guitarist is top shelf. Very versatile as well
I have 2 Swamp Thangs mixed with 2 Weber Silver Wolves in an Orange PPC 412. That combo has been a winner for me, and I'm constantly experimenting.
Swamp Thang paired with a Fane F70 is also an incredible combo.
OK cool, I get that... maybe we'll have to do a video of it mixed with other styles.

So many cool speakers. Not enough cabs :-(
haha you need a 6x12 next time ;)

I really love the swamp thang. Emi and Jensen make great speakers too.
I have a jessup 4x12 with all swamp things heavy fuzz standard B tuning. Takes down walls! Bout to put them in a zilla build 🤘🏼
I know this is about the swamp thang but just to say the tonker is the sweetest thing for leads.
It's good, if you like that flavor. I would use it but not make it a main cab just a spare wildcard for certain toans.

I'm going to have to make a video on these I think... maybe a video on dark sounding speakers.
@@ZillaCabs Great with Metal Zones, DS-1, all the "fizzy" gains.
So maybe not the best choice for Tom Quyale or Santana type tones? Maybe Red Fang er All Them Witches? Lol.
Good shout.
Sounds great to me.
Actually I think it came out pretty good in this session, it's not been my favourite in the past but I quite liked this.
What Celestion is it mostly comparable to?
From personal experience I'd say the Hempback, but thats slightly darker sounding.
None of them. It is a 200W bass amp speaker with huge low end.
