I play with a group that plays a lot of varied music which includes a lot of GD songs. I get by with a Strat and a 335 through a 68 reissue deluxe reverb that's been retubed, for dead stuff but would like to get a little closer to jerry's tone. I was thinking about a speaker change in my DRRI to something like a Beyma Liberty. The problem is that from what I can tell these would be great for cleans or very light breakup, but for anything higher gain these probably would sound much worse than the Celestion I have now. Then it hit me, what if I made a 1x12 extension cab using the Beyma speaker and ran the DRRI speaker output to something like a Cabbone to switch between the current amp speaker and the extension depending on what I was playing. Does this sound like an idea worth merit, and would it get me a close approximation of Jerry's tone? Thoughts?
Many factors to consider. Speaker is only one piece of the puzzle. More info is needed...
