We use it to describe a “natural” tone, meaning a relatively flat frequency response. The term “American” speakers is wide and not a very precise term. They have a balanced and transparent characte that works good for most music styles. After many years with vanilla ice cream, the taste of chocolate will be a tone explosion, not to mention a mix of the two. Variation is the key and therefore, my friend, you need several guitars, amps, pedals and different speakers.Īt we prefer mostly the American type of speakers for vintage Fender amps. What is also interesting is that our own taste developes over time. Smooth overdriven tones can mean very different things for heavy metal guys with Marshall and Celestion stacks and country musicians playing twangy Twin Reverb amps. What someone finds harsh can be beautiful sparkle to others. It is interesting to hear other opinions but it can also be confusing since we lack a precise vocabulary to describe tone and taste. You need to experiment yourself and taste the hundreds of speaker flavors out there. Some like strawberry while others like chocolate. Speakers are like ice cream we all have our favorite taste. You may compare these with your own speakers to determine what you have. See our Buyer’s guide to vintage Fender amps for a guide and picture gallery of the known original speakers in the blackface and silverface amps.
