I used John's speakers in conjunction with an old silvertone head,and got the coolest
most authentic early sixties garage band tone. I'm definitely a convert.

Great work Guys! I just bought a 10" alnico TT for my 1967 Princeton Reverb and had to drop you a line to say thanks for the greatest speaker! I guess it's just what the PR needed, because it sounds sooooooo good now i can't believe it... the 40 watt TT seems to have made the amp more powerful. This PR runs at 18 watts! it's a jem, but the ***** 25 watt ceramic speaker that i had in there just couldn't deal with the power of this little amp and sound sharp and papery .. But now with the Alnico TT in there it's simple sounds beautiful ... like a little deluxe Reverb . The 67 PR is an awesome amp and the TT deals so well with the wide range of tonal and sonic possibilities of a great old fender amp like that one and really makes that vintage sound come to life. Thanks to Charlie for hooking me up with my TT..... your right they do sound great right out of the box! So things are looking very up thanks to Tone Tubby. Gratefully

Hey Charlie, thanks so much for the 2x10 cab. I have been finding lots of use for it. The sound is different from a 1x12 or 2x12.... Kind of in between those two but with its own kind of extra dimension. Anyway its great, thanks to you and John and all the good folks at Tone Tubby for your excellent products.

I purchased a 2x10 cab that I use in smaller venues with a competitive speaker config inside and have gigged that way for several months... I just came across a good deal on 2 TT Alnico 10's and played my first gig with the updated 2x10 cab the other night. Once again I'm completely sold on the remarkable product that you offer. Anyone reading this and wondering if Tone Tubby's are worth it... think no more ! It will be the best investment you can make to bring life to your amp
and smiles to you face. Happy again,

I put one alnico 10 TT in my Brownface Fender Concert. It's amazing how by changing just 1 out of 4 of the original Oxfords adds noticeably more smoothness and clarity with less mud and yet keep the amp sounding pretty much the same as it did before. It's a bit like recording your amp with cheapo mic into a portastudio and then upgrading to a recording in a pro studio. Whenever I record this amp I mic the TT exclusively and the results have been mind-blowing. Yet another advantage of the hemp cone..... an awesome speaker when mic'ed up!
To hear the results for yourself, feel free to listen to clips of The Lost Angels new album on which every guitar sound is a recording of a TT alnico 10. I hope you enjoy what you hear and appreciate what the TT can do.
Regards.

The Tone Tubbies sound really sweet in the Black Face Super Reverb!!!! Two Ceramic's up top and two Alnico's down below. Very happy with the sound.
Thanks again,

Hey TT guys, I got my 2x10 da bomb cab yesterday. Played it at rehearsal last night and am very very happy, it sounds smooth and just great. If you need an endorser that is somewhat less famous than Clapton I'm all yours. Keep up the great work
Best,

Hi ,
Just loaded the 4 (2 AlNiCo,2 ceramic) Tone Tubby 10's that I ordered into my '65 Super Reverb. It sounds great! No suprise... I've been using a Tone Tubby 1x12" cab w/ Dr. Z Route 66 amp as my
gigging setup for over a year. Many thanks for great service, timely delivery and a fantastic product.
Best wishes,

Hi Guys........got my Tubby Alnico 10's this morning and they are successfully installed in my Music Man 210-65 Amp........they sound incredible!! The amp I've had for almost 30 years has taken on an entirely new personality and will now enjoy "favorite amp status"! I talked to Charlie and a Tech this morning........thanks for speaking with me and answering my questions. Here's a Photo of them nestled in their new home.....thanks again. Sincerely,
Thanks.................

Tone Tubby 10" Review |
Since their introduction in 2001, the Tone Tubby Alnico hemp speakers have been enthusiastically embraced by Carlos Santana, Billy F. Gibbons, Kirk Hammet and Eric Clapton, among others. But John Harrison is a tinkerer, and despite the accolades he's received from so many of his rock idols, he has continued to experiment with the evolving art of speaker craft. His latest version of the Hemp Tone Tubby features a super lightweight, copper-clad aluminum voice coil that will permanently silence critics who have claimed that the hemp Tone Tubbies were too dark and lacking treble. We received some of the first 10" hemp Tone Tubbies with the new voice coil (initially developed for Eric Clapton in an effort to eliminate the subtle dropouts that can occur when extremely subtle, soft passages are played on a big stage with a band). The hemp cone Tone Tubby 10's are utterly magnificent, with an incredibly solid bottom, fat mids, and gloriously detailed, creamy highs. Uncork these bad boys and you'll hear rich, textured harmonic overtones that you've never heard before. We don't pretend to understand how hemp versus paper pulp can deliver such a radical step up in dynamic response and tone, but Harrison has taken the basic design of the Alnico Celetion G12 (call it 'blue' or 'bulldog' if you wish) and forged an instrument that can inexplicably handle 50 watts of your best whoop ass. Quest forth... |
Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to let you know, I installed a pair of Tone Tubby Alnico 10's in my Budda Twin Master. Last night was the first chance I had to really "open" her up. And the results were amazing. Every musician at the Jam commented on the killer tone I was getting. You guys have created a great speaker !!!
Thanks,
Rick/ Hawaii
I got the 10" Hempy and put it in my 3x10 Tweed Bandmaster. Instantly made a difference! Big , full and articulate sounding speaker! It's really great! It made the amp sound bigger and more toneful.
Thanks.................

A Brown Soun: The all-new Hemp E Cones, Bass 10’s, and 10’s for guitar are here! In addition to A Brown’s original hemp cones, John Harrison has created a new “E” cone that is a bit brighter than the original hemp cone. Killer tone for Fender amps, or in combination with the original Hemp Tone Tubby speaker. The bass 10’s have received rave reviews from none other than Tommy Shannon, and the 10’s for guitar will knock you out in your Princeton, Vibrolux, or Super. A Brown Soun was founded in San Rafael, California in 1974 by John Harrison – a working musician who refused to settle for the few reconing choices that existed when he first needed speakers repaired in the Bay Area. Since then, John has been recognized by artists such as Carlos Santana, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Van Halen, and many others as California’s top speaker reconer. In addition to its famed reconing services, A Brown Soun also custom builds speakers and cabinets for virtually every application. The renowned Tone Tubby speaker developed by A Brown Soun has received rave reviews from top professionals around the world. Brown’s recently released series of speakers for guitar and bass featuring hemp cones is setting a new benchmark for guitar and bass speaker performance, with dramatically improved clarity, note definition, frequency response, durability, and power handling. Whether you need new speakers, custom built cabinets, or vintage speakers rebuilt and sounding right, A Brown Soun is your professional resource. As the Tone Tubby logo says, “We’re committed to tone,” and that means yours.
Last night I removed two blue bell, made in Italy, Jensen’s from my Fender Bassman RI. Put in two 10 inch Tone Tubby’s. Turned Amp on and played for the next 6 hours. I can’t stop. This is the most incredible “upgrade” I’ve ever made in my life! The old tweed now puts out this tone that just grabs you and stands the hair up on the back of your neck! Oh I look forward to growing old with my Tubby’s!
