What Speakers does Michael Schenker use ?

Does anybody know ? The guy has a JCM 800 2205, and a killer tone. I'm thinking Vintage 30's or Greenbacks...

Re: What Speakers does Michael Schenker use ?

I saw from the 2001 DVD with UFO and Uli Roth (u can find it on youtube) that he uses regular 1960 Lead cabs.

but probably he used everything in the years, both studio and recording...

.. and in that dvd he gets bashed by Uli! Uli is crazy ... but when he's (in)sane and he plays it's pure poetry

And I love his guitar, Gary Kramer makes affordable knock-offs of his (but without the pickup underneath teh fretboard, but probably a custom-shop order may do it)

Ok enough off-topic blabbering

they are 1960 cabs but you cant see the badges... They may say vintage or classic.

oh yes, and.. you can't see the speakers inside too lol

But regarding the sound, he uses a classic Marshall distortion on that DVD.

Notice how Uli sounds different, but that is more due to its guitar and his very particulat technique. I play the violin too, this is what gives that strange melodious feeling to the notes

Re: What Speakers does Michael Schenker use ?

Even if you can read the badges, that doesn't mean that there are that kind of speakers in the cab, they can easily replace them....

Re: What Speakers does Michael Schenker use ?

Its surprising that no one has the info Shenkers speakers. They do have a grittiness to them, so maybe G12H G12M?
