If you are not a guitarist this will make little sense to you. If you are, you have done this before, are considering doing it, or will immediately ponder the possibilities.
A fender SuperChamp XD
Guitarists, as a whole, just cant stop messing with stuff. I am no exception. I have a fender SuperChamp XD amp- small, 15 watts, great practice or small gig amp. I have a bigger fender that I love, but try not to move unless I really need loud (Fender Hot Rod Deville 2×12- it weighs 53 pounds- see the banner photo at the top of the page). So I dig the SuperChamp, but one can’t help but ponder the possibilities…
It’s here, it’s here!
So I ordered an Eminence Patriot speaker (the Ragin Cajun) to see what would happen. Swapping speakers is also something I can do myself- so a very low budget project with a high probability of fun (and perhaps significant tone improvement).
The old Fender speaker in the back of the SuperChamp XD
It was pretty easy to swap the speakers (I was glad to find that fender does a nice job of labeling their wires).
New speaker in the amp.
And then there was a new speaker…so what does that mean? Well, only one way to find out…
I’ve never been a fan of the word ‘sparkly’ in relation to guitar amps, but I see why it’s used. So I’m diggin’ the new speaker.
Also- rehearsing with a new band right now- summer gigs on the way. Stay tuned. Follow me wherever you are!
