Tonker Clip
Here is a clip I put together today to see how much I like the Eminence Tonker. The speaker is in a small 1x12 cabinet. Amp is my first d-clone from a couple of years ago. This speaker is really different from the EVM's I normally run. The guitar is a Les Paul R7
The clip starts on the bridge pickup and at about 1:30 I switch to the neck and then back to the bridge at about 3:00.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Tonker Clip
sounds damn good gary...
Re: Tonker Clip
Sounds good, Gary. Very Santana-like on the neck. The Tonkers sound like they have some nice thick mids and I like the way they break up.
BTW, it's good to hear you play. For the longest time I thought all Dumbles sounded like Scott Lerner. It's comforting to hear someone closer to my touch and style. It lets me know my amp DOES sound about right.

Really nice Gary!
Loved it.
Now send me that backing please. I'll do an HRM clip with my Tonker cab.

Re: Tonker Clip
would be nice to get some backing tracks posted:)
Re: Tonker Clip
I had some Tonkers and I would never have guessed those were Tonkers. I had a GDS ODS100 here and tested a pair of EVM12Ls, Tonkers and Tone Tubbys all in identical cabinets, vertical 2x12s with a vertical oval hole in the back. The clip sounded great and it sounded like the Tone Tubbys I like. Smooth dark rich sexy tone. To my ear testing the Tonkers sounded too hi-fi kind of sterile.
Glasman your amp sounded terrific.
Here is a picture of the cab from the back. The amp is one of my MKIIC+.

Re: Tonker Clip
There was a slight bit of amp reverb at record time. When I mixed it down I added a little extra reverb and delay on the guitar, just to make it sit better in the mix. I think I added a bit too much after listening to it a few timesIcetech wrote:Gary is that reverb in the amp or added on?

Yeah, I had heard all kinds of different things about the Tonkers but thought I would try a couple (this is only a 1x12) for myself to see how they work. To honest I am pretty happy with the sound. Even my picky youngest son thought they sounded really good.
I will be taking it to the weekly Jam tonight and give it a workout. See how it hangs in a band enviroment. I usually try to get as many others as possible to play the amps/cabs so I can sit and listen and take notes. I hear more when listening than I do playing.
The other Tonker I have is a replacement for a "crying" Wizard that I put in a 20W SOD combo.
