It's Fender 2x10" time! A Vibrolux Reverb always satisfies me, but this time I'm considering another option - a Deluxe converted to 2x10". I don't need 40 watts, I prefer lower weight and lower cost, and I can do all the mods myself.
But ... how will a DR 2x10" compare to a VR 2x10"? Assume identical speakers, stock iron & PTP circuits, same era (probably silverface). It'll be played mainly at low volume (i.e. around the house, or for recording clean/rhythm parts.) I have good dirt pedals, so no real need to crank the amp. And I have fine gig-volume amps for playing out
I just want that beautiful shimmer that I always get from a VR 2x10, but I wonder how a DR 2x10" will change the equation? More or less shimmer? Warmer? Crisper? And will it save me much (any?) weight, cash, maintenance, etc.?
Please chime in! I know that ultimately I'll end up with a DR AND a 1x12 VR AND a 2x10 VR ... but right now it's VR vs. DR 2x10.
Please share your experiences and opinions!
