Product Rating Product Review I didnt know how good this speaker really sounded until now. I like that it gave my tone a fuller sound and so clear. I really recommend this if you are looking into upgrading your current sound.

Product Review I was looking to tame the highs and mids of my 6505+ and make it more usable for a project of mine. It does that but with an unexpected HiFi sound. This speaker would be great for a modeling rig. I use it for sludgey and melodic leads so now its allowing me to lean more into the mids and highs and its muted midrange really help calm down a traditionally "fizzy" amp. I'll be getting more for the 412.

Great Speaker to upgrade Deluxe Reverb Reissue

Product Review Upgraded my Deluxe Reverb with this speaker. It gave it a little more headroom and more mid to cut thru club gig. I expect it to improve overtime as the speaker breaks in.

Product Review I put this in my deluxe reverb Ri. It gave it really nice low end and got rid of the strange mids that come from the stock speaker. Very flat and powerful.

Product Review Swapped out the stock speaker in my Blues Deluxe reissue for this and it made a huge difference, tightened up the low end and calmed down some of the harsh high as well as made the drive channel more usable, I did also swap out v1 with a 12ay7. Got the speaker at a great price, with superfast shipping what more could I ask for, American Musical Supply came through again .Thank AMS..

Product Review Loaded this into my Harley Benton 2x12 to accompany the V30 in it, and the cab is even more of a beast now!!! Sounds great live and is a perfect speaker for death metal and metal styles in general! It cleans up nice too!

Product Review This speaker is going be huge upgrade for anyone in low tunings . Thing just sounds nasty and gnarly. In standard sounds sounds dropped is the only way to explain it. Beautiful low cutting tone . Replaced my peavy extension cabinet with the Texas heat swamp thing. Don't regret it one bit, swap all the cabinets !!

Product Review I built a 2 x12 cabinet with a pair of these, using a tube amp and pedals, clean and distortion are both amazing, with effects the clarity is amazing, however the tone is so outstanding that no effects still give a five star sound

My mesa duel rec cab now is amazing it sounds like a producer spent 10 hours mixing the clean channel .I put cris cross 2 swamp things 2 mana wars and my rec cab went from amazing to out of this world amazing . I've put these Eminence and the Eminence mana wars in 5 cabs now . And my tones incredible.

Solid Choice

Product Review Is a solid choice for my blues deluxe. I was hesitant at first to follow the traditional route of a swamp thang in the BDRI, and am very happy with the result. Gives my drive channel some aggression and plenty of clean definition which basically gave me new hope for such an expensive amp. Worth every penny.

Product Review If you like the Machine Head, Slipknot, Korn knows this will do it. I paired 2x2 with RedCoats and damn! It gets that traditional metal/ thrash with all the low end you can take. Makes the windows rattle and the paint peel at the same time without being muddled or scratchy. Using a Randal Diavlo 45 with these. Gonna go up to a 100w. Just so the next city over can hear me a little better.

Product Review I have this paired with a Texas Heat and man is that sound crisp, but full. This thing is just thick, so your cleans will be perfect. Pair it with that Texas Heat and you've got a rhythm machine built for rock. American tone with a boost in the bottom.

Product Review Running these in an X Pattern, Swamp Thang/Texas Heat. Huge improvement over the stock Celestions in my MF280 Marshall cab. Massive, punchy, and excellent low end handling.

Product Review I have been playing guitar for 46 years, I’ve been playing in classic rock bands for half of that time. Growing tired of lugging my 4-12 Celestion cabinet around, I began to look for an easier solution, after many hours of researching speakers on YouTube, I decided to give the Eminence “Swamp Thang” a try, I loaded it into a 1-12 closed back cab, then later on I opened up the back of the cab because of our small rehearsal space and to increase my mid’s a little, I am a pedal junkie, and this speaker can handle anything I throw at it with warmth, clarity and sparkling high end, handles natural amp breakup or distortion pedals very, very well. I’m definitely sold on Eminence Speakers! Every amp is different and you need to find the speaker that will best compliment your amp. I will definitely be replacing all the speakers in my combo’s and cab’s with Eminence speakers.

Product Review I've got 2 of these Swamp Thangs paired with 2 eminence Texas Heats in a 4x12 cab. I use a Boss Katana 100watt head a Peavey 6505+ and I have a Orange CrushCR120 I use. These speakers sound absolutely fantastic and have been able to handle anything I can throw at them from these heads. From Crystal clear cleans to some serious grinding distortion from my 6505 they haven't let me down.

Product Review I did some research and honestly it was a toss up between this, the Gov and the Texas Heat. But man, I'm glad I got this. It's fat and rounded but it has enough clarity to prevent things getting muddy. I mostly play metal, and this covers all my bases. Killer speaker, especially for the price

Product Review The speakers are well built, heavy duty construction and Sound so thick and clear... The difference in sound quality is amazing compared to the stock speakers that came in my cab. Great for any style of playing, but especially perfect for the modern rock/ hard rock sound. All tones of Distortion comes through these speakers so tight and clear. Really allows you to dial in that perfect rock tone... We will see how long they hold up to full time gig use. But I think they are the last speakers I will ever need...
