Can anyone tell me the difference between the standard Blues Jr and the tweed model besides the speakers. I know the B. Jr. I have has a 12" lightning bolt by Eminence, and the tweed has a Jensen.

Sorry for the snafu the speaker is by Eminence not Celestion!

only the speaker & cosmetics, other than that they're the same.

I thought so, thanks for the info. The Jensen speaker is a 50 W and the lightning bolt is I think a 40 W.

Both are 50W.

Is the Canibis Rex a better speaker than either the Jensen or Lightning bolt? I want to tame the fizzy highs and bring out the lows and mids!

"Better" is subjective, but for me the CRex is an awesome speaker in the BJr. :D

As far as I know the Tweed is still a version 2 if it has the chrome face plate but here is what's different on the BJ III;

Black panel with white letters, reversed so it’s right-side up when the amp is behind you
Screw-on knobs
Rattle-reducing retainer for EL84 output tubes
New “Lightning Bolt” speaker
“Sparkle” mod
Dog-bone rubber handle.

Heavily considering the Cannabis Rex for an upgrade in the near future!
