12" G12Q - 20 watts

12" G12Q - 20 watts

Impedance

Building on the popularity of our G12C, we developed the G12Q for those times when you want the speaker to add some natural, vintage breakup but maintain clarity. With a 20 oz magnet and a 1" voice-coil, the G12Q definitely has a vintage American flavor. We highly recommend it with 5E3 style circuits.

I'm not sure yet. I put it in a Blackstar Series One 10AE, which is rated at 10 watts. I picked the speaker because I loved the tone in the sample on the website. I understand it's more of a 5E3 compliment, and an American voicing.

There was some rattling/buzz with chuggy palm mutes for like F and G power chords (not my style of music, just something I noticed). I haven't cranked it again to see if it persists.

It's definitely changing as it's broken in, so I'm going to withhold judgement. With 94db sensitivity it certainly tamed the ridiculous volume of the 10AE with a 70/80.

My parents live outside of Metropolis, IL and when I learned Warehouse was in Paducah I knew I'd be a lifelong customer. I'm not giving up on the G12Q yet, it sounds "good" but not sure if I'm in love. Time will tell.

Exactly what I was looking for

As the sales description says, a speaker that maintains clarity while having that great sounding speaker breakup. This was what I was looking for and got. Thank you WGS!

Good Alnico alternative for 5E3

Keeps the character of the 5E3 while taming some bass.
Gives the typical alnico choices a good run for the money !
An amazing ceramic …

replacement speaker

I have a Crate 1R from 1978 that just never sounded quite right to me. Your G12Q took the sharpness away. I sounds very good now clean, and with overdrive. With a good spring reverb on board, I didn't want to waste an amplifier.
This changed the game.
