Reconing an EVM12l with hemp?

theAntihero · Post by **theAntihero** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 6:27 pm

I need to recone a EVM12L and v30 and i was thinking of getting them reconed with hemp because i already have multiples of both with standard paper cones. I know i can get the v30 done but im not sure about the EVM.

What say you GABlings, anyone have a normal coned speaker that they reconed in hemp?

Good question. I'd be interested in the answers

Well, I'm interested, but don't really have anything much to add.

From what I know, but I have no experience, a hemp recone is supposed to give a bit of a warmer sound. For the V30 I can see that working, but I'm not sure if the EV needs warming up IMO.

Then again, if you've got a few of each anyway and you don't give a shit... why not? :(|)

whoa, cool idea.

I could ask my local speaker guy. He just happens to be an EV fan, plus, he does work for Billy Gibbons.

I would appreciate that, i think it might be an interesting idea.

Im thinking it might kill some of the highs and make it a little less hi-fi sounding, both of which i would welcome.

Well yeah, I suppose if you'd like a warmer EV then it's probably worth a shot. Personally I love the EVM12L the way it is, so I guess that's where our opinions on the hemp option differ.

I love it for super cleans and some high gain but not so much with anything else. Maybe a hemp cone will fill in the other areas.

I did this once. Afterwards, all the EV was good for was eating potato chips and giggling at Family Guy for hours.

:o)

talked with my guy. He doesn't know of any hemp cones out there that will be the correct dimensions for a recone.

You might ask around though.
