Weber Blue Dog:

Combining the Excelsior Pro with a Weber Blue Dog:

• Enhanced Tone: Swapping the stock Eminence speaker for a Weber Blue Dog, particularly the Ceramic version, provides a unique tonal option that offers a blend of Fender's vintage vibe with a punchy, clear, and detailed sound.
• Increased Headroom: The Ceramic Blue Dog version is noted for having more headroom than the Alnico version, which can be beneficial for players seeking cleaner tones at higher volumes.
• Classic Vox-Inspired Sound: The Weber Blue Dog speaker brings a touch of classic Vox tone to the Excelsior Pro, creating a distinct and desirable sound.
• Versatility: The combination can be suitable for various musical genres, especially those that benefit from vintage, bluesy, or classic rock tones.
