Full, rich, excellent.
I bought the Swamp Thang to replace the stock Eminence-made speaker in a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, as I found that stock speaker to lose clarity at higher volumes, tend towards a rather shrill high-end even with very low treble settings, and become very flubby and distort quite easily.
The Swamp Thang remedies all of these issues. The bottom end is tight and powerful and never gives in to flub (this speaker handles bass frequencies extremely well, I've played bass through it, and some rather extreme sub-frequency octave effects, and none of those frequencies seem to just "disappear" as they do with many standard electric guitar amp speakers ? Eminence actually state on their site that this amp can handle 7-string and bass guitar easily), the mids are clear and punchy, and the highs are actually manageable now.
If you're looking to retain an "American" tone for a Fender amp, whilst vastly improving sound quality and volume efficiency, I highly recommend this speaker.

Speaker with the balls!
Has its own unique style and character. Excellent sounding clear mids, good sustain, punch & breakup, cutting through upper mids and high frequencies. It is perfectly readable in the mix, giving a distinct stable roar on the power chords and lingering single notes. Moreover, it mixes well with other English speakers, complementing the overall picture.

Bought a long while ago
Forgot to review these. They are used in my 1971 Fender Twin, which has been partially 'Black-faced', and took over from the JBL D120F pairing which needed re-coning. They have slightly less of the harsh highs of those speakers, but still offered the clarity higher up, and the weight in the low end was wonderful. I'd highly recommend these as an upgrade for a Fender Twin of this vintage.

A serious upgrade for a blues junior amplifier
Yes a great speaker a bit heavy but sounds more thick with rich lows and mids and without sacrifice of the highs.
My previous experience with eminence speakers proved me right.
Get it ASAP

Bonne équipe
For my Musicman HD one thirty I needed a sufficient speaker. I used to work with the Vox AD212 cab but I sold that one.
So I bought an empty Palmer 112 cab, put a metal grill in front of it, bought and mounted the Swamp Thang. Now the Musicman just breezes in all its force and splendour.
This speaker is sheer music, that is how happy I am.

Replacement Speaker
I bought this as a replacment speaker for my Fender Bules Junior, for me it was the right choice, Just perfect for the sound I was looking for, Nothing that I did'nt like about this speaker, It's very loud, and very sweet sounding, I think It's the perfect choice for a Blues Junior. Thoman sell lots of replacement speakers and if the Swamp Thang does'nt do it for you they have a fantastic returns policy, Customer Service was superb as usual.
