5.0 out of 5 stars Greenback 10" Improves Fender Champ XD, June 28, 2011

I recently replaced the stock Fender speaker in my Fender Champ XD with the Celestion G10 Greenback. The stock Fender Champ XD is a good sounding, lightweight, and relatively inexpensive amp. It regularly receives favorable reviews, but for me it needed a little "more" in the lower frequencies. A thinner bottom end is not really surprising for a 10" combo amp, particularly if you are playing single coil pickups like the Stratocaster and Telecaster that I like to play thru this amp. Having read many favorable reviews of the Celestion 12" greenbacks, I decided to install the Celestion G10. The result was a very pleasant improvement. Not only did it add a bit more bottom end, but the richness of the midrange and smoother high end of this speaker really filled out the sound of Champ XD. It now makes great sounds playing both clean tones with full chords, and slightly over-driven, bluesy material. I should note that I rarely use the modeled sounds of the amp because I like the normal channel so much. The somewhat lower efficiency of the G10 also means that I can push the output tubes just into mild breakup at levels that won't shatter windows. Well worth the price and the minor effort involved in it's installation.

This is a great sounding 10" speaker to add more grind to your amp. Low efficiency and the greenback growl (yup, really) transformed a stiff and clean 2x10 into something way more usable.
