Great Expectations

I previously had a Celestion G12 Century Vintage with the neo magnet in a Billm modded Fender Blues Junior.. It was an upgrade from the stock speaker, but the Celestion just wasn't the sound I was looking for, so the search continued. After hearing great reviews of the Eminence Texas Heats from the Fender Forum members, I checked out a couple of Eminence speakers. Their website was very helpful in helping choose the sound you're looking for. Not only did they have sound clips of their speakers, they also have a very descriptive chart of what their speakers' differences are and what they feature. I was looking for more low end response that is also fat and round while keeping the highs from being spiky without it being muddy.. and to my surprise.. that was exactly what Eminence's tone guide chart described for the Swamp Thang. After comparing the sound clips, I was sold. I have a PRS Korina McCarty plugged into my Fender. I must say that I am very satisfied with the tone of this setup. It's now more full, warm, and lively.
