What would be the best speaker replacement for a fairly new Vibrolux ? I play classic rock and blues, using a tube screamer and wha for pedals. Mostly play my strat or Tele thru the Vibrolux. The strat has a S.D lil' 59 at the neck and hot rails at the bridge. Thanks in advance for your input. Dutch :D

How about Weber Vintage 12A150A (50 watt)?

Webers seldom fail to put a smile on their owners' faces.

You could also investigate the Celestion G10 Golds.

Pricey, but also a very worthy option.

Just curious, what's wrong with the stock Jensens? Personally, I'm finding that as they break in, I'm liking them more and more.

The stock speakers sound great, just looking for ways to find even better tone. I have a bad case of G.A.S, I can't help myself. Worst part is that I've traded in great amps and guitars over the years that I wish I still had.

Dutchy,

How do you like the Vibrolux? I am continually thinking about buying a new amp. The Deluxe Reverb, Twin Reverb, Vibrolux Reverb and Supersonic are amps that seem to fit the bill. I play mostly blues and I currently have a modified Blues Jr. but looking for some nice Fender cleans.

The current production Custom Vibrolux Reverb is NOT the amp I would suggest if you're looking for cleans. It breaks up very early. If you want serious clean, then the Twin Reverb is the holy grail of clean.

Vibrolux is not an amp I would recommend anyone buy without trying first.

Understood - thanks for the heads up....so, what is the main difference between the Twin Reverb and the Deluxe Reverb?
