I had one of those Bandits with the same speaker in the 90s. Sounded fizzy. "So much for all-tube amps", I thought, and bought a Marshall Valvestate instead.
yeah, the speaker in the amp isn't amazing. The same speakers were in the cabs that came with the peavey 5150, and nobody really realized how good that amp sounded until people started running them through different speakers
I love that people hate the Sheffield. Just shows how many people got coddled by the V30. It's a great speaker, just gotta know where a bass guitar lives (hint, it's not in subs and highs only)
I've only got personal experience with the Sheffield and with V30s - V30s are certainly easier to record and make sound good, that's for sure For what it's worth, I don't hate the Sheffield - I was listening back to this recording and thinking about how a blend between the Sheffield and V30 might sound really cool. It's just that I'm not the biggest fan of how it sounds on its own
I would like to see someone put diferent size dust caps on a Sheffield and see what it does to the sound. Larger dust caps may cut some of that "bad" noise out. Of course cones affect sound also. I actually don't think they're that bad though but you might want to mix them with something else.
Speakers are annoyingly difficult to predict how changing stuff like that will affect them, by which I mean that I am too lazy to sit down and work out the maths for it. However, I did blend the sheffield with my V30s and thought it sounded killer, it's the guitar tone on the cover of Hypocrisy's Apocalypse that's also been up on my channel for a while now I think I was also doing a blend of speakers on my upcoming EP, but it didn't quite work as well as I had hoped because I didn't quad track the guitars out of laziness. But then again, I'll probably retrack the whole thing anyways because the drums kinda suck on it
Wow. He loves the scorpion but not the 1230?? Its a vintage 30 clone..and clone of the good ones. Lol. 1230s in tube amps sound ridiculously good. After getting the "ultra" scorpion, i really dont care for the regular or plus. Scorpions do good for solidstate amps imo
@@mordenacus3793 The point I was trying to make was there were several Sheffield model speakers - not just one single ("the") Sheffield. Off the top of my head, I remember there being a 1200, 1230, 1290, and XXX, and they all sounded quite different from one another. The speaker in the silver stripe Bandit was the Sheffield 1230. The Sheffield 1200 was the 5150 speaker. Those speakers are nothing alike.

Love videos like this. No sponsorship bullshit or clickbait, just straight to the point
Thanks dude!

Your space is a mess... are you my brother?
I prefer to call it an exhibit of entropy. That way I can point to a physics textbook to justify the mess (ᗒ ᗨᗕ)

...Um...It's PEAVEY, NOT Peavy.
I feel like I've just been Mandela Effect'ed.....
@@mordenacus3793 There's also no such thing as "the Sheffield" speaker. That's like saying "the Celestion".
a quick google search would beg to differ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
