If they sound like shit, you can always mull up the speakers
and get stoned :D

Henery Garza and Carlos Santana use Tone Tubby speakers. They are not cheap. They make them in San Fransisco.

They should call em "Green Tone"

[Panamark]

Or perhaps "Rainbow Sound" if they are from Frisco..
Sturdy lookin buggers.... That red one looks like it
has a serious actuator/voice-coil happening ...

Actually, ABrown (manufacturer/owner of TT) is in San Rafael, where San Quentin Prison is located. They re-coned some old Greenbacks for me some time ago & did an amazing job!

I know that Randall Smith, the creator of Mesa Boogie, at one time used ABrown speakers in many Mesa cabs...

When I picked up my Greenbacks, they had a load of Hetfield & Kirk Hammett's gear there & one of the tech's told me that Metallica had started using Tone Tubby's in many of their cabs.

Fuckin expensive though.... I think they're even more than the Celestion Alnico's(?)

Anyone ever tried the Z.Wylde Electro-Voice Black Label's? I can't understand why the fuck these EV's are so expensive.... advertized as "the greatest guitar loudspeaker in the world," somehow I doubt they'll live up to that claim...:rolleyes:

The guy who started Avitar Speakers in Idaho is from the San Fransisco Bay area and saw the opportunity to compete in the speaker enclosure market because the prices of the gear were so inflated and people were used to paying for it.

He makes some great cabs and knows his stuff about speakers. He says a lot of it is hocus pocus.

Is a Tone Tubby going to sound better than the equivalent Eminence or Celesian? I doubt it. I think the whole hemp thing is a clever marketing tactic myself. Not knocking them but I noticed little difference in Santana's sound when he went from Altec Lansing to Tone Tubby.
