I picked up a red alnico Tone Tubby from Captainron (thanks man!) and dropped it into the Lux. I have never owned a hemp cone speaker (or a Tone Tubby) so I was flying blind. Some reports I read were saying it was kind of dark so I thought it might be a good combo with the Lux. Well, I giged it with the band last Friday and LOVED it! I was very surprised it worked so well. The Z speaker is obviously a great combo with the Lux but what I enjoyed was it seemed to soften the attack some.
It was just one gig so we'll see how it goes but for now it is staying put!
I did not come across any TT reports with the Lux so I thought I would pass it along.

I know some people call it dark, but I call it a warm sound. I use mine with my Ghia, and it just sounds like the guitar sings if that makes any sense. I like that you're spreading the word to the Lux crowd.

I like mine also. It's in a 2x12 cab wired in stereo so I can play each speaker individually or together with a parallel cable. Doesn't sound bad with any of my amps when played as a 1x12. Mixes well with the alnico California in parallel. Glad you found something you liked in the Lux. I'll have to try one of those amps some day.

Glad someone grabbed it! I was super tempted to buy that. Glad it sounds good with the lux. I have a hempcone weber in my DRRI, and I think it's a perfect fit for the amp.

I have a rectangular Z 2X10 'Tremolux' style cab loaded with 2 red Tone Tubby 10's, playing my strat through a ghia head at my weekly Wednesday evening gig at moderate volume, my tuner and a King of Tone in line just to get a little grit goin' at workable levels, and somehow blew one of the 10's. Called Tone Tubby, they want $100 to recone it. I think I will just send it back to them and say thanks but no thanks and reload the cab w/ Z 10's.

I got 4 reds in my Super Reverb. And a Purple Haze in my lux! I may try the purple in the wreck.. Ive never had a problem with TT.
But manufacturers do tend to come up short! D’addario strings, ive used them for 27 years and their new nyxls Bought four packs of them. 3 of the packs broke under normal use.
D’Addario rep said he was busy with important things and basically blew me off. It would be nice if these companies backed up there products!
