Jensen electric lightning speaker

[moltenmetalburn]

No one ever talks about this one, almost seems like no one has ever tried them.

I've been using them for about three years now. Every time I come back to them I'm impressed again.

Nice throaty grind. Loves volume.

If I had to describe them I'd say its the "uber" speaker, makes me think of a v30 and gt75 mixed.

Good prices made in Italy not china, try these RT!

Sounds awesome. Can you make some clips? Or do you know of any? I would like to check them out.

Unfortunately this demo doesn't showcase higher gain sounds which is where it truly shines but does actually give a good idea of its tonality in the clean samples.

Also added link to Jensen site above which has samples also.

I have wanted to try these speakers since they came out. I have heard that they are a bit bright, and my 5150 III is already a bit of a bright amp. Threads like this remind me about how much I want to try them, and they are cheap. MF also has them at a reasonable price.

I have always liked the build quality of Jensen speakers. The frame seems a lot more solid than Celestions, and just the fit and finish is great. I had a Neo12-100, and some of the Earcandy greenmachines (made by Jensen).

How do these do at lower volumes?

I actually decided to bite the bullet, and order one. Only down side is that since I am in Canada I had to order a few other tings from MF to get my free shipping.

Looking forward to your review.

I should have it tomorrow, and I will be comparing it to my sugarcone, and scumback. I also ordered a dimarzio crunch lab so I might swap that into my main guitar after I try the different speakers.

Just got an update that my speaker is waiting for me to get home...I predict my ears will be ringing tonight!!!!

 

[GuitarGuyLP]

%#&$@$%^*^&$%@#^^&*## My speaker arrived damaged.....Now I have to wait again for a replacement from Musician's friend. On this order of four small items MF screwed up on two.

 

[moltenmetalburn]

Boo! At least mf will sort it out without hassles....

 

[GuitarGuyLP]

It will be about another two weeks until I get my speaker. They won't send the replacement until they get this one back. This is going t be a long two weeks.

 

[GuitarGuyLP]

So I got the replacement yesterday. I still have to deal with MF on the additional duty that I had to pay on the replacement, but I will get that sorted out.

I put it in my Mesa cab with the custom 3/4 closed back panel, and I didn't have a lot of time to play with it yet, but I will be cranking it tonight. So far damn this speaker sounds great for everything I have thrown at it. It is definitely clear, and defined, and has a unique sound to it.

 

[moltenmetalburn]

Anyone else try these? Still love them!

 

[GuitarGuyLP]

I am really digging this speaker. I don't get the comparisons that some people make to a Vintage 30. This speaker has its own thing going on, and it is awesome!!! It really seems to match with the 5150 III mini.

 

[moltenmetalburn]

I'm glad I could turn someone else onto them, I love mine , keepers.
