About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!
For the case of dustcaps pushed in, l recommend using a vacuum cleaner to suck it out again. Use the hose without any adapter and start with a low vacuum. Increase the power until the dustcap pops out again.
Had to do this every time my kids, who were toddlers then, came across my SWR cabs. Those toddler fingers are small enough to go into the stretch metal speaker cover. Small children will use any tool to do what they think is a good idea - until they are ready with destruction.
"Doom is just slow surf" is probably the greatest burn to doom metal I have ever heard. lol.
slowwwwwww fuzzzzzyyyyyyyy serrrffffffphhhhhhhhh

@@60CycleHumcast and Black Metal is just distorted Surf music. Check out trve kvlt surf music like "The Emperors- I am the Surf Wizard" on UA-cam!
In that case, you can just refer to Doom as "Slow Tide".
I’d love to record some surf music in Glenn’s Studio just to see the look on his face
This is the widest spread of music youtubers I’ve seen in one video. Gave me a little more hope for humanity.
(Sure there are more extremes out there, but I actually follow both of these guys:))
At first it sounded like there was a thick blanket covering the cabinet. After taking the back out it started to roar. Awesome, I never thought about using anything but wood for a cab's construction, this opens up a lot more possibilities.
For a real brutal metal tone be sure to use the bodies of your enemies, just be careful with the high end, it can get a little bloody, especially if you shove the speaker in their still screaming face. Metal \m/
He's not kidding about surf not being that far off from metal. Just check out Anthrax's cover of Pipeline. It really fits.
I’ve got strong words like Glen! 😂
I want to thank you Glen for some of the ideas on you're show its improved the quality of my work I'm just really getting started with building my own small studio and primarily focusing on my solo material.
Glenn...you rock!! I hope to get your Cockblocker gate soon...can't wait to rock out with no noise! Happy Festivious!! 😎🎸
Damn that thing sounds so unique but not in a bad way at all. I can totally see somebody making some new sounds with that cab.
They really do sound that good if you are ever in the UK come and try them out
i liked the tone better with the back on the cab. sounded a bit tighter to me.
Love the collaborations Glen! Cheers from Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰
I like the G12k-100. I have tried them in a few combinations with V30s, WGS Retro 30s, and passive radiators. The mids of the V30 style voicing with the bassier higher power handling G12k seem to work well.
I would have loved to hear it with reverb and tremolo. I bet the open feature would make that sound pretty great in the room
Sick looking guitar glen
My favorite thing at the moment is combining DOOM and PROG... like Tool or Karnivool but 10 times heavier... and prob 10 times shittier too! hahahaha
Also, I wish they'd chuck Ryan on the high gain just for a second for shits n giggles! Dude can play some cool stuff.
Why not aluminium cabs?
They made HiFi and guitar cabs out of poured concrete to have the pure tone of the speakers and no resonance or tone of the housing.
And to have maximum floor coupling. I have heard that some studios have one, and the tone is great.
Throw some backpack straps on that amp and a decent battery and you'll have the worlds most powerful portable amp!
omg yesssssss
I have the triple row guitar case, great for touring. Was interested in what these are like since seeing them on the website. Not much out there about them. Thanks for the video!
Hi Ryan, where in the world are you in the world.
They are so light after glenn picked them up he did the mic placement by moving the cab.
Glenn, talking of small amps. Lead tone: I've had a discussion with the lads in our band about then fact that I prefer a lower wattage amp (Mesa 5:25 or Marshall 50 watt Super Lead) cranked on the Master Volume and pre-amp gain a little lower Vs a bigger amp with the Master Volume turned down but pre-amp turned up for lead guitar tones.
I dig the old school Michael Schenker and Yngwie tones for lead work. The compression that seems to happen when the power tubes are made to work for their money makes the lead tones sing, IMHO. What do you think?
Shits & giggles, surf & metal. Great way to start out an early morning.
My favorite surf rock band is Man Or Astroman. I actually partied with them back in 1998.
dave ethridge I saw them live a few months back. I’ve been listening to MOAM since the 90s.
Kinda wonder how light (or heavy) a "normal" 2x12" cab would be, with neodymium speakers like those Copperbacks...
Hi There, I cant say what your your cab would weigh but our Scott Dixon Cab with the lid cover is only 10.5 kg
Hughes & Kettener & Scott Dixon are explosive and cataclysmic for Metal and Hard Rock 🎸 😎 🎼🎵🎶🔊🎛
Glad somebody found a use for all my recycled Mountain Dew cans...
Thank good for aluminum and neodymium magnets
Good to see you on here Ryan! We gonna shoot any more piano demos? Ha!
oh dang! i haven't heard from artesia in forever. That whole thing kind of dried up.
Our favorite nice guy
Would be nice to have some of the playing samples played through the room microphone :) In any event, it's interesting how Glenn said that the bass should come out more when the back of the cabinet was removed, when the opposite happened in the mic'd up audio. The flubbyness was gone and the guitar was able to cut through nice and even. Even more proof for the pudding that the cabinet has a far more significant effect to the guitar sound than many gearheads seem to think :D
Someone has to say it, but those cabinets are ... metal as fuck.
I'm very interested and I want to see a future demo of this in your own studio.
I'd love to really get a sense of the tones you can get with that cab and if the metal construction has a noticeable effect on the tone. Also, I'm curious about all the specs and features since their website for the cab really doesn't say or show much.
I would love to see these questions addressed in a future demo!
Hi Lore4597 you could get me on my web site email were in the world are you.
if you want to get in touch, i can answer your questions.
He looked like the type of guy I would not get along with. But I like that quality in a guy! I gonna go check him out!
I like not getting along, its fun.
@@60CycleHumcast lol I'm subbed! I was sold when I seen the kazoo plugged into guitar pedals!
I wonder how this cab sounds linked up to a Joyo Zombie.
Interesting ... they do bass cabs too, and they're based in the UK so shipping to me in Ireland wouldn't be insane ... but you have to contact them for pricing, which is code for "you can't afford this"!
Expectedly, there's less bass (or more mids/treble) with back off... obviously it's acoustically different so it'll interact with the room differently so it might not sound the same on mic that it does in the room...
Hi Mtaalas, when you here it on a computer the sound will be different but Glen was demoing the Cab and i was there at the same time, and it did sound as he said.
if you need any more information please contact me via the Website John
I need some nice Glenn mix reviews!
Nice how does it feel to play a fanned fretted guitar.
Please do a video on a great affordable bass amp
Before this vid was an ad for learning to play worship guitar in 10 days!...Wait...Shouldn't it be sooner than 7? I'm trying to write a song for this "Helpmeet" that I've been hearing about.
Not new... I had one back in 2006 an 2007. Was basically a cab that was a flight case. Sounded... different... but I got rid of it. Was made of aircraft-grade aluminum. Had a front and back cover that attached like rackmount box covers - much sturdier than the one you presented today.
That's the Ibanez Prestige AZ2402 Sea Foam Green - that's the Prestige AZ2206S little sister :)
Blackbacks and 65 watt Celestions, Emminence EM-12,(EV clone). If you are looking for other speakers.
Can we get an update on the gate pedals? I want mineee already dudeeee
I don't know, sounds pretty fizzy to me. But it might have to do with the amp settings, the micing and a whole lot of other factors. But it's cool to have a small cabinet like this!
The fizz is likely because of the Hughes and Kettner. They're known for it. Probably they did all their development on passive pickups. They sound better with those.
cool. And it could be used to play connect four.
Sounds pretty good to me!
Kind of off topic. But I was looking around in reverb for a flanger pedal. Originally I'm looking for a substitute for the ada flanger. Greatest flanger in my opinion but just so expensive. Anyways I came across a line 6 liqua flange. Now I know line 6 doesn't exactly have the best history of equipment. But from the looks of the features of this pedal, this actually looks promising. Would you be able to in any way review this in the future?
Not at work so I can't truly hear but it sounds killer on my headphones
Damn Glenn, you lost some weight, you must feel amazing, keep it going!
Glenn: if you're digging doom and looking for a new sound to mic, Eminence neo 112/115 cabs made by Tyrant are just beyond brutal.
Gotoh hardware the AZ, if it's a prestige it's a titanium saddle wonder and very nice indeed. Maybe 4x the price of Wilkinson hardware for an end user to buy. But Wilkinson hardware is made by gotoh...
You had me at reverb abuse.
If Travis Bean and Electrical Guitar Company can make guitars with aluminum necks, then I don't see why not make cabs out of it too
I love my Harley Benton cab that Glen turned me on too,but dayamm it is like lugging around a dead body.Hard to lift and always awkward.I bet one if these in a 1×12 would be the cats a$$.
Glenn, you should try the neo celestion century vintage, only weights 1.7kg , sounds like amazing with 5150s.
Hi Filipe the Copper Backs are 250watts each and the G12 Vintage and Vintage 30 speakers 60 Watts each the difference in weight between the two of the is negligible
hope this helps John
@@scottdixoninc.4317 ok, but if you use two of them in a 2x12 with a 50w amp there's no issue at all. 250w is more than enough for my marshall major, but I really don't use it at all. despite being 250w the copperbacks are rated at 100db just as the V30s, the CVs are 98dbs. so I don't see how the power rating would be the reason to choose a copperback, tone qualities I can accept because that's personal.
It chugs!
So now you only have to break the bank and not your back. Sounds gnarly too.
@2:04 he says it's a 500w cab but when I go to the website they only offer up to 120w in a 2x12. This is exactly the cab I've been after but it doesn't seem like it's available :(
Its available!!!!! I know personally the owner of Scott Dixon, email sales@scottdixoninc.com
@@jacksonsystemslimited I'll have to look further into it and maybe give him an email. Thanks!
the Cab Glen is trying out has 2 x 250 watt Copper Back speaker = 500watt the cab you are relating to is the 2 x 12 Cream Guitar Cab those speaker are 60 watts each
the 500 watt cab Glen Tried out is the first of the high powered range of Guitar and Bass Cabs, for further information please contact me through our website.

Ryaaaannn ❤️❤️
;-)
Great for crunch and metal...
...but you'd get a better clean tone from a Pignose...with reverb.
Sea Foam Green = Surf
Harvested Earth Camouflage = Metal
Another nail in the coffin for Tonewood. That thing is an eargasm even with my phone speakers.
... So you're saying that material makes a difference, and that somehow disproves that material makes a difference?
People have misunderstood the tone-wood debate forever - There is no objective 'better'. There are no magic wood slabs that make your guitar sound better. Brands selling you specially cured woods are selling you snakeoil. That there is a difference in sound between two equally cut slabs of wood is hardly controversial though.
@@skatterpro not that, but the aluminum cab here was very light unlike Glenn's Engl cab. The thing I hate most about tonewood is that it's effect on tone is not worth trashing forests.
I had an aluminum necked Kramer once, it was heavy, not heavy sounding, just heavy
His finger???? No bass players are lonely. Nice cab I feel lonely
My friend had one of these at his place recently. It sounded god awful compared to the other cabs he had there. Really harsh and no bottom end compared to other cabs we tried. We had to flip the cab upside down to access the latch to take the the front cover off?! Then we needed to get a screwdriver to wedge the front off before we could use it. Fail.
I did a short and sweet comparison video of this cab to a Marshall 4x12 and Vox AC10 speaker after trying this one out at 42 Gear Street myself. Let me know how you think it holds up in a side by side comparison ua-cam.com/video/1mVCjI5nKjM/v-deo.html
Whoa, that’s sounds beefy as fuck
Where Mayoneses are manufactured?
Okay, but how much does it cost??
Leave the back on..lol
I thought the title was "Aluminum Guitar Cables?"
Just by listening to this on my phone speakers it sounds like they are being covered up
I NEVER would’ve EVER expected to see these two guys together in a video.
I dont even wanna know what that cab costs
You'd be surprised... contact John - sales@scottdixoninc.com
@@jacksonsystemslimited whats the price i cant find it anywhere
@@jaredhermans8478 Email sales@scottdixoninc.com - someone will get back to you.
Wow, very bass-y. Probably not perfect for Metal however perfect is boring..! ^^
Glenn, you may want to check out Scott Dixon’s reviews and FB page comments; It seems like he’s scamming customers, or just not communicating during extremely long order delays (some people are complaining that they haven’t received orders from over a year ago.). He does however seem to have the bandwidth to send out demo units or units to his personal associates. I know (or think at least) you’re reviewing the idea of aluminum cabs, but the mention of Scott Dixon may end in some poor experiences for people watching your channel.
"better known as baldi-con"
It looks like the electric guitar tone wood believers have lost. Not even the cabinet is wood now.
Let's stick to TONEWOOD
Chickenbrowncow.
I believe it’s pronounced Al you miny um 😂 I’d love to see one for bass with some aluminum cone drivers 🤘🏽 for the full soft metal tone 🤘🏽
Aluminium*
Alumin*I*um
Cabinet sounds great, however, after the nightmare a friend of mine had with Scott Dixon cases not delivering the cases he paid for, I decided to take a closer look into the business.
Looking at their Facebook page, there's a heap of unhappy customers who haven't received the goods they've paid for, including a couple of repeat posters who have been trying to get a response from the company for months to no avail.
I'd highly recommend everyone avoid Scott Dixon Inc like the plague.
Sorry to shit on one of the sponsors of such a great event.
Hey man, take another look! I know the owner personally... He's had a real bad time of late and everyone who did had an issue had it resolved!
@@jacksonsystemslimited yeah, just looked again, there's a fresh post from yesterday with a bloke threatening to take legal action after having been ignored, as well as a multitude of unanswered and repeat posters so I still wouldn't be buying anything from the business.
hasadegaegawaei XDDDDD
4:20 you're welcome
Soooo I just got an ad for christian guitar lessons lol. Look advertiser, I don't really care what space ghost you believe in, everyone has at least ONE crazyperson belief, buuuuut pretty sure this isn't a high conversion rate channel to advertise on lol.
Get some competent players in there, and keep Glen away from the mixer please.
I don't like it
