Outside of the looks, from the specs, the difference is all in the speakers.
I haven't played through the Jensen P12Q but I have through the
Cannabis Rex.
Which you like best depends on what you want to hear, of course.
The Rex is good if you like generally clean tones. It excels at smooth
clean tones and has a strong low end, less about the mid-range. It's not
a speaker that is about bite. I've heard that jazz often players like them.
It has a ceramic magnet, I believe.
The marketing blurb for the P12Q, OTOH, says: "The P12Q has a very warm,
mid-focused bite with clear, bright highs. When presented with overdrive
distortion the P12Q remains well-balanced." It's an AlNiCo magnet speaker.
You could always buy the lower priced unit with the C. Rex and if you don't like it
you can buy a P12Q ($133) and swap it in yourself. You would not be out much,
if any money and have both sounds. Just a thought...
