Horrific Guitar Speaker Modifications (For Science) [GONE WRONG]
Check out my official shop for NAM Models, IRs, and more! https://nickleonard.gumroad.com/ Performing some sick mods on a tiny speaker to find out what things affect the tone and performance. I tried removing the dustcap, sanding, CA glue, and hot glue, and took measurements along the way to see if there's anything to learn from this madness.
This video was inspired by the great @TheOtherJohnBrowne and his fantastic speaker work: • World's BIGGEST Celestion Vintage 30 Shoot...
You can download the IR's made for this project (and more) over on my discord: / discord
For the demo, I used blends of the IR's for guitars, and as a final vocal filter, it was actually recorded to (type I) cassette, because all good black metal has to be. Guitar amp sim is Audio Assault Hellbeast (for thematic reasons), bass amp is Aurora DSP Mammoth, and drums are Ugritone OSDM.
