Mojotone BV-30H 12" British Vintage 30W Speaker 8 OHM

Picked up an older one of these at a local MusicGoRound and it's made a major improvement to my recently acquired Blues Jr. I actually have an older Mojotone 1x12 cab with a British G12H Anniversary in it and that's what I'd been playing the Blues Jr through prior to the speaker swap.



Right after installing the BV-30H, the amp sounded exactly the same (I didn't re-EQ anything) as the Celestion (which is broken in by now). However, tweaking the EQ some revealed a very smooth top-end when driven--something that's VERY hard for me to get to with the Celestion. That's since come to define how I feel about this speaker: "Smooth", versus the pure "Raw" sound of the Celestion (both good and bad).



A friend even noticed the improvement in the amp the next rehearsal; noting that it was sounding much smoother and less harsh than the stock Eminence the Blues Jr came with. Even now I feel like the amp could be used as a "dual" channel amp with a Fat switch since I won't feel like I'm cranking up a can of woolen bees like I did with the original speaker. I love the G12H Anniversary, but given how this is cheaper and much more easy to get useful tones out of with just the amp (or pedals), it's hard for me to not give a 5 out of 5 or recommend for friends when they want to swap a speaker!
