You might be better off asking in the modelers forum what other people use for theirs, as I don't have experience in what to look for with a modeler. More country/jazz/blues you might lean more towards an open back cab with American voiced speakers.

For instance, if you want to play more rock or aggressive type of music, you should lean more towards closed back, british voiced cab's. If you are looking for good tone for any setup, figure on what type of tone you are looking for. I also got a SoundCity cab for $50 from the same guy, that wasn't a deal. I picked up a 1978 Marshall 4x12 for $50 on Craigslist a while back. It's not a matter of cost, but a matter of tonality. Around here is difficult to even give those cab's away. Ampeg isn't known for making stellar guitar cabs. If you are looking for something that made your financial worth go up, then it probably isn't. If you are looking for a cheap addition to your arsenal, then the Teisco is probably a good thing.

how do i know what to look for?ДЄ good deal depends on what you are looking for. What do i need to look for in a good speaker cab? especially in the case of modelers, all i know is that the choice of wood, open vs closed, choice of speakers all play a part in coloring the sound which may or may not negate the modeling altogether. now should i assume despite all the reputation that precedes this cab that it should suck based on the fact that its only $250? thats sort of the approach i thought i would take with the Teisco cab, that yeah it may be cheap, but that just might be God smiling on me and giving me a great deal. I thought I just scored a great deal, i mean i was gonna almost gonna get an Ampeg cab with Celestion V30s wired in stereo for $250, which I'm guessing makes up a great amp on the basis of reputation alone as far as i know(V30s are great, Ampeg is reputable, most don't come or would be charged extra to be wired in stereo) but the deal sort of went sour. the thing is i really need a primer on this stuff because i wouldn't even know where to start and so i wouldn't know if its something i should or shouldnt dump money into. None of the Teisco databanks I've found so far even mention this amp, there are no videos or soundbites on Youtube, there were no topics about the amp here, etc.Click to eat advice SA. The Internet is very short on any information when it comes to this amp. But in the meanwhile, I'd like to hear if any people out here have ever tried or even heard of this amp and what do you think about it. I am planning to go out and try the amp out again -this time with my own Tele- as soon as possible and see if it still sounds as bizarre as I remember. But now I've found myself thinking about the amp an awful lot. Now, seeing that I play both guitar and bass almost daily and have a thing for strange amplifiers and genres which exploit such amps (post-punk, '60s psychedelic rock, noise, art rock.), I did enjoy the amp quite a bit, but didn't buy it. I didn't get a chance to try the amp out with any pedals. Worked pretty well with both guitar and bass and it did provide quite a kick when played with a Precision Bass. The EQ was pretty straightforward, a little low on middle if memory serves, but nothing too special one way or the other apart from that. It did sound like a spring reverb, but I distinctively remember it sounding almost like a very, very quick delay, as if the sound had been stretched. The reverb was perhaps the strangest I have ever heard. When tried out with a Telecaster, the sound was quite thin, the distortion was dirty, rattly and screeching -Wilco Johnson-esque, if you will. A friend of mine, who has a very peculiar and old-fashioned taste when it comes to amps and playing in general, said the amp sounded cheap and horrible -and I can see where he stands. Soundwise it was one of those amps that you either like very much, or you don't like at all. It had two speakers, but I have no idea what kind of speakers they were, since the amp was completely closed from behind. The amp had two inputs (low and high) and the controls included volume, distortion, reverb, bass, middle, treble and something called 'high treble'. The amp definitely caught my attention and I tried it out. Here are two pictures from different sources: In June I happened to stumble upon quite a bizarre vintage solid state amp from the '70s (I presume): a Teisco GL601. Hopefully I am posting this on the right board and am not making myself look like a complete ass, but here goes: Alright, hello everyone! My first post ever and so on.
