Just west on the A14. No urgent rush, Ive had these two drivers for about a year so a few more weeks is no problem. When we can get together it will be a good excuse to test in both combos. I could bring my Plexi for you to hear and use as a reference. I just need the excuse to cock about with amps and this could be it.Originally Posted by longtallronnie
Young man!
Yeah still in Harwich so would be up for meeting up. Might be a while before I get a chance though as my weekends are pretty stacked with worknand gigs etc. You're near Ipswich aren't you? Or am I thinking of someone else? It was easier to keep track with avatars!
Sounds good. Once things get a little less hectic we'll sort a day out.
Anyone know what size pot those volume boxes use? Might knock one up for rehearsals.

Anything from 10K to 1Meg will work, Log taper. I'd go halfway (in a logarithmic sense) and make it 100K if you're going to buy one rather than just using something you have to hand.

Lots of all-round gorgeousness there. I do think a bit of judicious lacquering would cap it off nicely.
Looks quite nice with 335!
I've also got a couple of Jensens in my fender amps (C12N and C12K respectively) and FWIW really like them. The C12N I believe is rated up to 100w so should work fine in the blues deluxe. Very nice AASing there

No, 50W - unless you want to believe the highly optimistic "music power" rating - but still enough for a Blues Deluxe which is not quite a full 40W either.

Oops - I meant to type "C12K" originally in that sentence. Would there be much difference using the C12N instead of the C12K in a blues deluxe?

You'd get more clean headroom and a bit more bottom-end punch with the C12K - it has a bigger, more open tone than the N. I'm still not convinced it's a real 100W speaker either, but that doesn't matter here.
I'd go for the K if you're aiming for the cleanest clean sound, and the N if you want a more Tweedy overdrive.
