Jensen C10Q Ceramic Vintage 16Ohm

I decided to swap one of the Vaporizer stock speakers. It instantly blew my mind. Those who own the amp, will know that it can sound very "boxy" and harsh. After reading about a lot of mods people do, I decided to go with the speaker swap which is the simplest one.

Instant tone improvement. The cleans are beautiful, the amp break-up is much better. Throw a heavy OD pedal in front and you can go full on AC/DC. Tested with a Strat and an Ibanez RG in various settings, both channels. This speaker really does the job. This specific amp is now far more gigable (thanks 2020).

However I must say that I think two of these on a Vaporizer would make it too chimey. In my case, it added whatever was missing from my amp and interacts well with the stock speaker. If I ever wanted to replace the other stock speaker, I would go for something with more bass probably. Consider that if you intent to use it on this amp.

The speaker is of excellent quality, the boxing seems to have protected it from all the transporting. Would definitely recommend.

The HH invaders in my Laney VC30 were sounding dull. Chose these as they were fitted to later models and had good reviews. Definitely better as soon as fitted, and they are improving as they break in. Tastes differ, but i find these speakers have a warmer midrange but sound brighter overall. they will mellow with use, but already are an upgrade. Next step try these with other amps, see what they sound like. An interesting alternative to the ubiquitous Celestions. I have the 10" versions. At this price a worthwhile alternative for a vintage sound. Everone mutters about tone - but it is very subjective. Without the time and money it is difficult to recommend speaker swaps. All you can do is decide what you want to change about your tone, and then do the research to see what is on offer. I was lucky. there are lots of reviews of Jensen celestion and HH equipped VC30s, which helped me make up my mind. Thank you internet!

Le son d'un HP, j'aime ou jaime pas, c'est une question de goût. Et de style musicaux derrière.

Mon style : de la folk, du blues, de la Surf Music et du rock US.
Je suis un amoureux du ''son Fender''. J'aime le claquant des single coil, le brillant et le cristallin du son d'un Vibrolux , d'un Princeton ou d'un Bassman.

Ce HP en 10 pouces, c'est la quintessence de ce type de son.

A savoir donc :
- Son très brillant et ouvert
- Excellente dynamique,
- Très mesuré sur le registre grave quand il est seul. Attention, je ne dis pas ''pauvre''.
- Grave percutant et efficace quand on les mets en parallèle, par 2, 3 ou 4.
- Il vaut mieux avoir un réglage de Tone ou de Présence après la partie pré-amplification pour pouvoir enlever un peu du brillant du son.
- Un mordant intéressant et très plaisant en gros crunch.

Voilà. C'est typé, mais pour faire du beau son à la Fender : cristallin en haut, creusé en médium et percutant en grave, montez-en une paire ou plus dans votre enceinte.
