Ah ha! Perhaps I shot myself in the foot way back in 1975 when I replaced the 8" Jensen in my Silver Face Champ with a 10" JBL K-110. And then, just recently, when I replaced the JBL with a 10" Weber Vintage.
Looks like I've made it necessary for me to play even louder now to achieve a particular level of overdrive from the Champ. Thinking back to 1975, when I replaced the 8" Jensen with the 10" JBL, I probably was trying to get a cleaner sound with the Champ, as I was using it while teaching guitar in a music store. Fast forward to today, I'm not sure just what my motivation was to do that back then. That seems like a different lifetime for me now.
Perhaps I need to put together a small cab with a 4" or 6" speaker in it, and drive it with my Champ. Any suggestions on that?
I never thought of going with a smaller speaker to achieve that tone at low volumes.
