Speaker - Jensen® Vintage Ceramic, 10", C10Q, 35W
Adopted primarily in the Vibrolux® and Vibroverb® amps of the Brownface and Blackface era, the C10Q is a very easy to drive speaker that breaks up nicely with straightforward biting character. It was also very common in many Silvertone® and Valco® amps. It loves the 2x10 configuration and the floating baffles.
Guitarist Description: Straightforward tone with mid-frequency bite. Presented with overdrive distortion, it can sound edgy.
- Lows: Loose
- Mids: Aggressive
- Highs: Bright
- Overdrive: Edgy

Hi there, would it be ''dangerous'' to use this 35w speaker with a 35w output transformer? No danger of blowing up the speaker? Thanks

It depends on if you are are playing your amp to the hilt and using pedals. In an ideal situation, you will want to use a speaker that is double the wattage of your amp.
Not dangerous, but speaker manufacturers usually recommend selecting a speaker that is rated significantly higher than what the amp can push into it. If you go over the rating, the coil may bottom out which will destroy the speaker. Why not get a speaker with the correct rating? A 50W will do it.
Product Reviews
Sounds vintage Fender. Jensen says the highs are edgy when over driven. If true, they can be tamed with tone stack or guitar settings. I use the Boss MT-2 at unity gain since Fender amps do not like to be over driven. The MT-2 has plenty of EQ settings to dial in tone.
