I just play songs through my boss rc3 looper for hours and I noticed it worked nicely with my sv20 combo..
Though I didn't like the speaker much in the end😅

[@BuddaGuedes]

But usually that takes way more time.

[@melexdy]

@@BuddaGuedes 2-3 days, maybe 5 hours per day? The speaker sounded good after that. Used it for another week before it sounded 100%

[@tiagolopesaraujo]

Good trick and very clever! GNR didn't show up? 😅

[@BuddaGuedes]

Not that loud

[@mikelundquist4596]

I used black pepper and cumin to season mine.

[@BuddaGuedes]

You can also use mustard

[@44dognut]

I season mine with a bit of salt and pepper

[@BuddaGuedes]

😂😂😂

[@northernmonkey8652]

Hmmm can't we just play zeppelin through it :p How long do you have to play the sine wave to break in an alnico speaker?

[@BuddaGuedes]

24 hours is a good start

[@monzajunior7337]

Far out. Sounds like a 1950s science fiction B-movie soundtrack.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Eh! Eh!

[@saturnskull1242]

So many expensive gear protected by a crappy door....

[@BuddaGuedes]

That’s just the inside door. The whole building has camera security system and bullet proof doors

[@saturnskull1242]

@@BuddaGuedes cool!

[@UltimateWobbleBoss]

Hi, electronic engineer specialising in audio here… please don’t waste your time doing this. Have a great day.

[@monzajunior7337]

Guitar speakers DO need to be broken in - probably rather more to do with the speaker suspension/surround than the cone itself, but the sound new is not that great and not what the designers intended.

[@monzajunior7337]

@lukio5116 They just do! You can hear it. When the speakers are new, the surround is too stiff for the best sound, it has to be loosened up. I suppose the manufacturers could do it, but it would put the price up.

[@a.vanwijk2268]

White noise would be better

[@BuddaGuedes]

Not as good in my opinion

[@a.vanwijk2268]

@@BuddaGuedes why?

[@pinatacolada7986]

A mix of white noise, frequency sweeps and a bunch of sustained frequencies would end all the arguments about what is best.

[@a.vanwijk2268]

@@pinatacolada7986 According to Fourier physics, white noise is all of this.
