So, I recently got a new Maz 18NR 2x10 combo for my birthday this year and I am looking to do what I can to minimize volume levels while maintaining the amps integrity. My playing comprises many realms of the rock genre minus the really heavy stuff. I do use a few pedals, but I am trying to incorporate the dynamics of the amp more into my playing. My goal is simple: getting the amp to volume with a bit of breakup, while minimizing the angry notes from my wife.
The amp currently has Docs 10's which are great, but are very loud. I had a G10 Greenback in a Ghia I had a while ago that I really liked, so I had been thinking about a pair of those in the Jr. I had been looking into other options, but most threads talk about the 12" speakers. I have heard that Weber's alnico speakers sound decent and bring the overall perceived volume level down quite a bit as well. Had been thinking about a combo of a 10" Blue Pup and a Silver Bell. I really like the idea of an alnico. Wondering how the Webers compare to the GBs in both tone and volume.
I know that there are a few on the forum who have tried this combination, but there really isn't much info that I can find. I have tried searching here on the forum and via Google, but no luck when looking at these options. I would like to hear opinions and thoughts from those who have used them in conjunction specifically with their Maz 18nr's, but would be happy with experience in general.
I am also looking for either an Air Brake (preference) or a Brake Lite SA, because I know that either one will also help to take some of the edge of. But the attenuator will have to wait until I find a good deal on a used one.
Thanks in advance!
