90's Blues Deluxe running through a 2x12 cabinet

1

I’ve read through the forum posts, and that really through video on the Hot Rod speaker shootout. Made some references but wanted to ask what you thought would be good for a 90’s blues deluxe running through a 2 x 12" cabinet (closed back).

What would you say would be for a good “still Fendery sound”.
A more “stepping into Marshallesque gain sound”.
And finally to over-complicate things if you want to recommend a mix of 2 different speakers.

My main concern is the gain channel to sound good because I tend to keep it on that channel and just dial the volume back instead of switching back to the actual clean channel.

Thanks!

Hummm … everything I say is just an educated guess, because I’ve never ran that amp in a closed 2x12! but here goes…

I’d actually probably recommend a combo I rarely recommend … a G12C for the Fender like upper-midrange & top-end, and a Reaper HP to keep it from getting too shrill.
