I vote for the Vox Bulldog. I bought three Pathfinders on eBay just to use the cab and that speaker. It has a very chimey (bright) sound when used with my Vox AC-15 lite. Could even be used as a gigging amp if mic'ed. If you can find one grab it.
Guess what: yet the speaker is sounding awesome, it is (very) very loud...sluckey wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 6:15 pm Just a little sidebar... Back in the '60s hum was not a problem with the AC-4, Champ, or other similar small SE practice amps with minimal filtering. Oh, the hum was there alright, but that cheap 8" speaker could not reproduce it very well, so you just couldn't hear it. Then people started connecting a better quality 12" speaker and all of a sudden there was hummmmm.

1. Break the connection between the junction of the rectifier diodes and point B+.
2. Install a 250Ω/10W resistor between the junction of the diodes an point B+.
3. Connect a 100µF cap between the junction of the diodes and ground.
For even better hum filtering, use a choke rather than a 250Ω resistor.
In detail, the plan would be: inserting a 47uF reservoir cap, which is the most the EZ81 is supposed to handle, but I'm not sure about the DSR/resistance value of the choke. I guess the most important the resistance, the better filtering so:
Yet another post for the sake of completion: I finally put a small 8" loudpseaker from a Marshall-alike transistor combo into it.sluckey wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 10:59 amI vote for the Vox Bulldog.
