LEGEND 121 GUITAR RAW FRAME DRIVER:
OVERVIEW
Eminence Guitar Legends are specially designed for electric guitar amplifiers. Tuned by skilled ears, these hand-built specials feature a range of materials and ideas from nearly 40 years experience. Models such as the LEGEND B15, 121 and Modeling 12 are state of the art designs which meet the modern-day demand for power handling while other models feature vintage magnet and cone materials to recreate the traditional sounds of lead and jazz guitar.
The most difficult aspect of presenting a guitar speaker to the world is being able to describe its tonal characteristics. Your choice of guitar speakers is at least as important as your choice of pickups or strings. Just as you customize a guitar to suit your sound, so too can you customize - or 'hot rod' - your combo with Eminence loudspeakers.
Eminence is fortunate to have one of the foremost authorities on guitar and amplifier tone in the music industry as an endorsing artist. Greg Martin, lead guitarist for the Kentucky Headhunters, was kind enough to lend his ears and hands in an effort to present to you the most realistic and accurate tonal descriptions for each of the Eminence Guitar Legends.
APPLICATIONS"
Warm, rich low end, smooth mids and very loud. Greg Martin* tried this speaker in 2X12 applications both in 'The Twin' and with the Marshall Head, using Strat and Les Paul guitars.
With a Les Paul and The Twin, the speaker is very mellow before it breaks up. It delivers more high end than the Legend V12 and has more headroom. With a Strat, it is pure Fender! Greg recommends this combination for a 'Traditional Blues' sound and for Jazz, Funk, Country, or other applications where you need a big, fat, clean sound!
In the 2X12 Marshall application, the Legend 121 is exceptionally clear. Greg suggests that this is a good combination for Heavy Metal or rhythm applications where lots of headroom is desired. The Legend 121 is a great replacement or upgrade!
