Some classic rock guitarists in the 1960s deliberately kept amp speakers past the point of mechanical failure because a torn cone or stretched spider produces richer, more complex distortion than a pristine speaker; engineers now call this speaker breakup, and factory-repaired speakers rarely reproduce the same asymmetric overtones that vintage, battered speakers do. πΈπ₯
At TulipStuff we seek amps and speakers with documented vintage speaker breakup to offer authentic rock tones.
