I have a couple old Peavey Bravo amps (all tube, 2xEL-84, 1x12) that I have modded fairly extensively in an attempt to cop a VOX sound. I think that I am very close to my objective; they have lots of sparkly high end, chime, sweet compression and are capable of delivering a blizzard of razorblades tone, but are missing some of that AC 30 midrange "honk". There's not much more I can do at this point except replace the speaker. I have a Mojotone (v30, I think) in one, and a Peavey Scorpion in the other. The most obvious solution is to drop a Celestion Blue or Weber Alnico Blue Dog in there, but I would would like to find something cheaper to put in one of them for now, that is close to the Vox Blue sound.
Any Suggestions?
How about these that I have seen on Ebay:
Old american made gold Bulldogs pulled from Super Beatles and other SS Vox amps ??
VOX Ceramic Bulldogs from recent AC-15 amps ?? (was winning the Ebay auction on one of these but the seller withdrew at the last minute !)
