Electric guitars, guitar amplification, and the birth of Rock-n-Roll in the 1950's collectively established a new use for loudspeakers. Speaker choices were limited in those days and amplifier manufacturers had to purchase products that were common to other applications. Usually, this meant a low-power speaker, often with an Alnico magnet, and limited cone and coil travel.
Due to the nature of the speaker's construction, the sound of the guitar and amplifier combination was impacted by the speaker design. Amplified guitar was a bit more aggressive duty than most other speaker applications at the time and the speakers were frequently challenged in terms of their mechanical movement and linearity. Guitarist learned how to control this non-linearity and use the resulting tonal characteristics to their advantage. Speaker break-up became cool and was a desired feature by most guitarists. The great guitar tones we know now are a result of those events.
Although there are a multitude of distinctive guitar speaker tones available today, they can be broken down into two main categories. We have Marshall and Celestion to thank for the distinctively "British tones" that we are so familiar with. Fender, Peavey, and SLM (Crate/Ampeg) worked with speaker companies like Eminence, Oxford, CTS, JBL, and Electro-Voice to establish tones that are distinctively "American".
Eminence is proud to present the Patriot™ and Red Coat™ series of guitar speakers. Incorporating both British and American cone technology into speakers that are manufactured in the USA gives us the ability to provide you with virtually any tone you desire. Be it British or American, clean or dirty, big bass or screaming highs, we have a speaker that will allow you to "Pick Your Sound".

As other reviewers have, I purchased this speaker as an upgrade for my inexpensive Fender Champion 40. Installation was very simple and took all of 5 minutes (of note, you will probably to clip the negative terminal on the Cannabis Rex to fit the half width connector on the amp). The sounds is much tighter and better integrated than with the stock speaker. It is lightyears ahead of stock. Obviously, you will need to tweak the amp settings to get exactly what you're after tonally as it definitely has a different balance than stock but no matter what I have done it is better than it was before the switch.Overall, a great, inexpensive, easy upgrade to a Fender Champion 40 and well worth it if you have one!

I have replaced speakers in two amps with this speaker, one in a Fender Blues Deluxe-Tweed and one in my Fender Blues Junior. This speaker provides a warm t smooth tone, yet still very loud. The two speakers that I replaced, were the original Celestion speakers, which were brittle and sharp. I highly recommend this speaker. Mine are the Cannabis Rex 12 inch 8 ohm 50 watt.

This really warms up over bearing Fender amps. Sometimes the mid scoop and harshness is just too much, especially with single coils. This speaker really solves that problem at a respectable price. Be warned, this will take around 40 hours for proper break in, and be sure not to over tighten the mounting bolts or you could induce voice coil rub from the speaker frame warping.

Smoothed out my Katana 50 MkII to be more jazzy. Only problem during installation is that the basket is a bit larger than the stock Katana speaker making it necessary to shave a BUNCH off the wooden brace on the amplifier chasis assembly. As well, I guess the posts are larger than the stock Katana speaker so you have to kludge that a little. Tisk, tisk...all trivial things. It has that smooth Hemp Vibe and produces a more balanced tone range. The price is reasonable. I'm a fan. I'd do it again, probably will.
