![]() I tried this speaker in my Blues Deluxe out of curiosity and there was a lot to like about it. Overall the Eminence Red White & Blues speaker is perfect for this amplifier if you’re not into a super-bright type guitar tone. It has a thick spread and tone that I can only compare with the Texas Heat but it feels a little less dark sounding to my ear. ![]() With that in mind, if you opt for a non-bright sound you will love it. ![]() It still retains a Fender tone on the most part but not quite as much as the Swamp Thang. It has less top end than the Swamp thang but it also has a fatter overall sound. The Eminence Red White & Blues speaker is a beast. This means you’ll be able to stay clean a lot louder than the stock speaker. Being the Swamp thang is rated at 150 watts, you get lots of clean headroom and very little speaker distortion. In my opinion, this is the best speaker for retaining the Fender Sound but also adding some good stuff. It also has a pronounced bottom end which will fatten out your overall tone. The Swamp Thang retains the top end clarity Fender is known for without having cut out any of the highs. I remember testing the Eminence Swamp Thang in my Blues Deluxe against a Two-Rock Studio Pro 35 (that I purchased) and I thought the Blues Deluxe with the Swamp thang killed it on clean. This speaker turns the Blues Deluxe from an off-the-shelf guitar amplifier to sound a lot more “boutique”. It’s been a fixture in my amplifier now for a number of years. The Eminence Swamp Thang is my personal favourite speaker for the blues deluxe. All of this stuff is up to your own ear and you can take my opinion on it if you so choose or just trust your own ear and experience. That said, if you like it then it is fine. I persisted with my Blues Deluxe for a while and then I realised the stock speaker wasn’t for me. ![]() It’s a nasty top end that is hard to tame. Personally, I find the stock speaker to be way too bright and also way too bass heavy. “What is the best speaker for a Blues Deluxe?” The “best” anything is subjective but I am going to give you a list of the 5 best speakers I have heard in a Fender Blues Deluxe Amplifier and you can decide if it’s right for you. This is a question I have seen come up time and time again. ![]()
