Description
Building on the platform of the Blue, the Gold is a higher powered, Alnico-magnet speaker, that recreates the unmistakable sonic signature of a 'well played in' original. Over time, the high frequencies of a Blue soften and become less chalky as the cone becomes more flexible - a much sought after characteristics that the Gold exhibits straight out of the box.Also present in the Gold sound from the outset is an added warmth and complexity in a midrange which, coupled with the classic Alnico qualities of a laid-back attack, rounded low end and brilliant bell-like highs, deliver huge rhythm voicings and saturated vocal lead tones.
The Gold is a wonderfully expressive and revealing loudspeaker, affording guitarists an unprecedented degree of dynamic control. It has already become a favourite for many working players whether picking and bending with Brad Paisley, or rocking hard with Danny Spitz of Anthrax.
