I put in the Jupiter 12LC 50W to replace the Eminence Custom Fender Design to try to tighten up the flub on the bottom end of a Surf Green Fender Supersonic 22 combo, and while I will probably reconfigure the amp from 6V6's to 6L6's to remedy the issue at hand with more power, I was immediately struck by the warmth and musicality of the Jupiter speaker. I've tried several speakers in this amp, most of which sounded less resonant and colder than the original Eminence (especially the various Hemp cones I tried), but this is the first time in a long time I immediately heard a much warmer, but well defined tone out of something other than the Eminence custom design. The adjective that kept coming to mind is "musicality" and I was pretty happy with that idea from the perspective of a speaker replacement.
It doesn't hurt that the Jupiter 12LC is one of the best looking speakers I have ever seen. It is a shame it is hidden away.
Thanks for the quick delivery, and for initially returning my phone call to dial in the right selection of speaker for my need.
I used this speaker to replace the stock neo speaker in a Milkman The Amp combo. Absolute game changer, takes this lightweight combo into Deluxe territory. Night and day difference. Tim uses these in other Milkman amps, he should offer this option in The Amp combo as well.
Had to downsize from a 100W modeling combo (Boss Katana) to a stompbox-sized tube amp (Milkman 100) due to moving across the country. Unfortunately that also meant playing through headphones temporarily. I was worried I had sacrificed my sound for saving space. Now that I have my Jupiter speaker plugged into it, I have never heard my guitars sound better. Every note I play jumps to life and it can get LOUD. Still super articulate as well. Thank you!
Great speaker. Arbitrary ended up with one and had to get another. Great for DR’s.
I have researched speakers extensively seeking to determine the precise tonal qualities I wanted. This is it. I pair it with a Milkman the Amp 100 and it is sublime.
Orders have a lead time of approximately 1 week to ship.
