Fane A60 Ascension Series...My New Favourite AlNiCo Speaker??

Описание: Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!

Today, I've got a really wonderful loudspeaker for you...the Fane Ascension Series A60. I've been wanting to check this one out for ages - and I've spent the last few weeks breaking it in so that it's sounding at its dynamic best for you today. (The tones I've been getting out of it have been unbelievably good!)

It's 60 Watts of AlNiCo goodness - and to me, sounds so perfectly balanced....it really chimes but is never harsh; it's thick but the low end doesn't get overbearing; and the midrange really lets the characters of different amps come through. It 'feels' so lovely to play too with a smooth & exciting compression - and lets good old fashioned tube amps perform at their best.

Whilst I was breaking it in, I learned that whilst it still sounds lovely at low volumes, the A60 loves to have a good amount of wattage thrown at it. So today, I'm not going to use my pedalboard (uncomfortably 'cold turkey' for me!!) Instead, I'm going to put it in four different non-master-volume amps and just crank them up...all the overdrive you'll hear is good old fashioned power tube & output transformer breakup.

You can find out more about this killer speaker here: https://www.fane-acoustics.com/view-p... And as a special treat from the folks at Fane (and for reading this far through the description!), if you buy one directly from their website and use the code 'PERKY10' you'll get 10% off...how cool is it of them to do that?!? :-)

What do you think? One of the most balanced, pleasing, articulate speakers ever made? Or do you prefer a ceramic? Comment below!
