hello all, ive got a Fender Blues Deluxe but the stock speaker is overly bright. i play chicken pickin stuff (ie Brent Mason) along with classic rock tones. mostly pushed clean and dumble like overdrive tones. ive been looking at a few different speakers but dont know which one to pull the trigger on.
ive looked at 12L, G12c, G12c/s, Retro 30, Vetran 30
so if i had to rate em it would be 5. 12L (super heavy and i dont feel like breaking my back) 4. Retro 30 (from what i can hear its pretty bright sounding) 3. G12C (bright as well from what i can tell but more of a fender tone) 2. G12c/s (has that American tone but warmer sounding and cuts the highs) 1. Veteran 30 (its what Brent Mason uses and that the tone im looking for)

As the HRDX and BD are VERY similar amps !
