Which model Amperian? I just ordered a 65 watt and can’t wait to try it out

@@HamzaVLOGs Explorer. Right now it's plugged to a 12 watt 68 Princeton Reverb I just bought. I was worried about the high power rating on the speaker for my little amp when I ordered it but dealer said it was no problem and he was right. It was a total fluke I ended up with the Amperian. I wanted to order the Warehouse Reaper and had never even heard of Amperian until the dealer suggested it because my choice was out of stock. He just said it was like the LEXUS model of Warehouse Speakers for 50 bucks more. I said send it. I stuck it in an really old beat up stage monitor box I found in the trash. magnificent!

I have 4 WGS G12Q’s in my cab and I couldn’t be happier.

Quite inefficient? I’ve always heard they’re some of the most efficient… And surely ceramic magnets are generally more efficient than Alnico!

@@zuperdee wgs veteran 10 sensitivity is 93.8 dB, actually one of the lowest for modern speakers (as far as i've seen). wish more speaker companies would do the right thing and put out many more low sensitivity/ low efficiency speakers.

@@zhou_sei There's variance between reported db ratings.I just bought one,had one before.The efficiency is closer to a Greenback to my ears(I also have),it's overall sound projection is not as much because with a 17 oz magnet & 10' cone has it;s limitations.It's a nice speaker and inside say a Pro Jr it'll keep up with a drummer.This is good as it allows the player to open the amp up wider.

They do! Fender does make “Limited Edition” 1x12 versions of the Princeton.

@@zuperdee yes I've seen that model but I'm talking about a redesign of a full Deluxe with its long tail pair phase splitter and slightly higher power but no second channel (having a bright switch gets both channel's sounds pretty much). Might be possible to get the benefits of a DR at the price of a PR, could even leave off the tremolo circuit and keep the spring reverb circuit so you just get the core of what most people need. Adding a power control like the Bassbreaker 45 could take it up a level of versatility.

Lots of guys like the Weber 150T as well. I put the 50 watt in mine and get endless headroom.

I think Uncle Doug has covered most of that already. Rob Robinette also has some very good stuff on his site.

@@PsionicAudio thanks will take a look there

@@PsionicAudio Unfortunately Uncle Doug is unable, it seems, to highlight tonal and touch-sensitivity differences in different amp circuits, in response to playing technique You do a much better job in that regard. I will say in Doug's favor that where he really shines is in cleaning up and repairing and refurbishing beat up old amp cabinets. Guys who restore old cars are usually pretty good at that sort of thing.

The Lil' Buddy is a lovely speaker. I love how it "doesn't " break up.

@@strumminronin great for jazz

You got it.

Too subjective. But many many players really like that combination.

In the next week or so. They take time and I have a bunch of amps that need finishing.

Hard to say. Many good alnico speakers won't fit in a tweed Champ. The Weber CV8 does but it's out of stock. If it fits, the WGS G8A would be good. I don't know if the Jensen P8R fits but I know it doesn't sound very good.

The last one that came in I had the original speaker reconed.

@@PsionicAudio thank you so much, you’re doing the lords work.

@@PsionicAudio In a previous video you mentioned that you didn't know if the Goodman's speaker in that Vox amp was any good or not and whether it was worth repairing or reconing, because it was a PA type speaker from a school intercom system. I don't know if that speaker would be good for that particular amp, but as regards speakers from school intercom systems I have scavenged many an 8" Jensen alnico speaker from old schools, mounted into the little wood speaker cabinets that all the schools of my youth had hanging over the classroom doors. I've also found some very nice, beefy Utah ceramic magnet 8" speakers as well. I toss this out to people so that they will know to keep an eye out for any old schools in their area that are being renovated and updated. It's quite common ---- or it used to be anyway ---- to get Bogen, Masco or other beefy PA amps from old schools as well, and maybe a Shure or Astatic mic or two. A lot of this stuff has unfortunately been junked by now, but you never know, especially if the school is old and you live in a part of the country where things don't change very quickly. That said, "I ain't never going back to my old school", except maybe to dig through the dumpster when they renovate!

I put the Weber CVA8 in mine and it sounds great. Not sure why it’s currently out of stock. You might want to check with Weber for a lead time…

12" sounds a little better but the cab dimensions are a limiting factor. The speaker is only part of the puzzle. Upgrading to a better 10" speaker can suffice.

I have this speaker in my Vibro Champ Reverb and love it. It fits without the metal cage that protects the tubes. Psionic Audio has a video of it.

That's not what the 18K does. If you remove it you'll have no tone stack and all and too much gain.

@@PsionicAudio 🤔 that not what I was reading it feels that I have more control on the bass I can put it at 3 and it feels right

@@PsionicAudio the r34 resistor

The 68 adds an 18K between lug 1 of the Bass pot and the 6.8K resistor to ground. If you jumper that 18K you get a much better tone stack. If you just remove it you get no tone stack at all.

@@PsionicAudio the tech jumbed it sorry it’s is not off just not in use it’s still there if I want to put it back

That would make you a purist!

@@foolhardymcpain I guess so, technically… Though I think some aspects of Fender are better today, and others worse. The Custom Shop, for example, is higher quality than ANYTHING Fender did in the past, pre-CBS, CBS-era or otherwise, but commensurately expensive, too. The PCB wiring in their general production models is something they clearly MUST do nowadays to have any hope of survival in the marketplace, but surely Fender could have at least have taken proper measures to address the most common and predictable failure points, as others like Marshall and Vox have done! It seems like most failures in standard Fender reissue amps result from things like poor quality filter caps, poor wire routing, and poor heat management resulting in things like cooked PCBs and failed solder joints to the tube sockets! If they cared at all about the customer or making a quality product that lasted longer than just 2 years, surely these things could be addressed in cheap ways without necessarily going all-out on hand wiring.

Have you looked inside the 57 Champ? See if you can spot the fuse on that.
