10” speakers are better than 12” for guitar?!! Most of the time, maybe yes!

Most of our guitar customers buy 12” cabs - but should that be the norm? We’re comparing our Upsetter 110 with our Reformer 112 - that’s a Celestion G10 Vintage vs Vintage 30. Like most guitarists, Lewie’s own cab is a 12” one. Time for a rethink!

Lewie is playing his PRS SE Silver Sky and our own Sire Larry Carlton L7 (we'll call it the Les Paul) through an Egnater Tweaker.
