Snagged a classic chorus 212 yesterday for next to nothing and I'm thrilled with the way it sounds. It's a back breaker, but man it honks. Here's my question:
The speakers are nondescript, don't know what they are. I've got a pair of celestion speakers laying around. Should I swap em out? |

| If the speakers are stock they are scorpians and hard to beat, I would leave them in. Dale |

"Man, it honks."
Sounds to me like you just endorsed leaving it alone.
Scorps have a reputation for early breakup, sounding great on guitar. If that's not happening for you, or not bothering you, I'd leave 'em alone. If you like the tone, why F$#@% with it?

Well said, sir.
I'll soon enough have the chance to play in a band setting and I'll see if she punches clean. So far, Its just been me playing at woodshed volume. Anxious to get this thing out and give it a run. |

You sure it honks? I have one (in storage) that I used with my electric guitar 15 years ago, and it had a lot of 90's-ish era marshally bite with the electric, but was hollow and shrill with my steel.
Mostly due to the Scorpion speakers, I'm sure...maybe you'rs has greenbacks or something...those honk. |

| Its heavier than a tank, but I'm thrilled with the way it sounds. I had the volume at three today and it rattled the windows. What ever the speakers are, I have yet to find their breaking point. I've been playing through a roland cube 80xl or a deluxe reverb. This PV sounds better than both for the psg. I guess i'll lug it around till I get a hernia : ) |
