The Jerry Deluxe | JBL D131 Vintage Speaker x Fender Deluxe Reverb

We got our hands on a vintage JBL D131 speaker from the 70's & we put it in a Fender Deluxe Reverb to compare it against the stock Celestion Greenback Speaker. Let us know what speaker you think sounds better.

I have vintage speakers in most of my amps. My B15 clone has a D-130, my 64 Princeton has a Vox blue in new baffle, my 67 DLR has a Jensen C-12., my AC50has the original speakers. I do use Weber speakers in my builds.

So the recone technically made it a K120. The D131 preceded the D120 and was more of a HiFi speaker than a guitar speaker. The recone made it a guitar speaker and a really good one at that. You'll also notice that this speaker really shines when pushed into clip. Unfortunately it'll have to be really loud to do that. Garcia would run his Fender Twin with the EQ's set at Bass 0, Treble 8, Mid to taste. And lastly, the JBL is "louder" because it's a more efficient speaker than the Green back.

Thanks the knowledge! We definitely hear the HiFi depth and presence of the JBL. 🔉

Killer video!!! MAN those magnets are HUGE on that JBL!!! 🤯…beautiful amp!!! LMK if you ever get tired of it! 😉😏😏 …loved the tones btw!!

[@followyoursound]

Yes, the magnet is huge and the rim is super thick. Had to use longer screws to put it in. 😅

[@tempest2000]

Heh -- nicely produced video. Dig that sped-up repair section with Joey the cat hanging out for a bit. And great ending jam session!

[@followyoursound]

Thank you! Jo the cat is the true star

So wait, did you use the one with the aluminum dust cap or the paper dust cap? 👀 🔈

[@HamzaVLOGs]

Oooooohhhh I just watched the video again without distractions and heard the answer 👌

[@followyoursound]

@@HamzaVLOGs Yep, had to go aluminum to get the full vibe! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sallucido7859]

You made that greenback sound like crap. Celestions just don't work in a Fender.

[@cesarmateus3490]

The JBL is fuller and fatter with more Mids. The Celestion is thinner and funkier!

[@followyoursound]

Thanks for the comment! It was much heavier in weight as well lol
