8" G8C - 20 Watts

The G8C was an excellent upgrade to my Champ 5 watt amp. Improved bass response and a clean and musical upper frequency response. Sweet!

Purchased the G8C for a nearly 20 year old Fender Frontman 15 I rediscovered and had forgotten about, as it was stored up in my attic. On a whim, once I made sure it still worked, I thought a new speaker would be just what this little amp needed. The G8C made the amp a fun little practice amp and sounds better than I ever thought possible.

I have the G8C and G8A combo in 2 different 2X8 combo cabs. They are a great mix.

One combo is a 10 watt tube amp that leans British

One combo is a quilter microblock 45 turned into a combo.

Both are fantastic matches.

Don’t know if you have ever run the math, but a 2x8 is 89% of the cone area of a 1x12 and 128% of a 1x10. You don’t miss any of the low end of the 12 and get the immediate response of a 10. Plus you get the advantage of the added harmonic and attack/decay envelope complexity of mixed speakers.

My only wish is that WGS made a similar ceramic and alnico in British voices to allow for more mixing and matching.

I strongly suggest you try a 2x8 sometime. It is now my favorite cab type. Light, complex, full, and loud.

I have a Bugera V5, an older one that isn’t an Infinium. I was never happy with the old speaker so I did some research and heard good reviews on the G8C speaker from Warehouse. Wow, what a difference! The G8C really opened the amp up, and seemed to have more presence than before. I play it now a lot more, it’s been a huge improvement, like I have a new amp. I’m thinking about upgrading the speaker in my Fender Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb, the black tolex one, with a G12C.

I upgraded my Bugera V5 with two 8" G8C's (one installed in the combo amp and one wired in parallel in a separate cabinet that I built for this purpose) and I love it. It seems bigger, fuller and louder to me now, and I'm really happy with the tube sound I'm getting out of this little amp with these speakers.
