I got one of these awesome little amps....they sound GREAT right out of the box...was wondering about any recommendations for a 10" WGS speaker upgrade? This amp can sound from Fender clean to Marshall dist....lots in between.
Any thoughts?

Yea man ... I would be all about a G10C in that cool little gal. Would make her sound a bunch bigger, bolder, fatter, juicier ... and just plain louder!
Thanks! How about the Retro 10?
Hi. I also own the combo, and I will change the speaker in the future. I’d like to preserve the amp’s vintage British feel, and I’m looking for a British voiced speaker that’s not too dark (the amp is very warm). Which speaker would be better for this purpose?. The Green Beret 10 or the Retro 10?. I suppose the ET10 would be out of the picture.
I agree with Vaughn on the G10C to bring out… well, everything in the amp! It will likely brighten it a bit, as would the Retro 10. Built a 2x10 custom amp (based off brownface Princeton) for a client using a Ret10/ET10 - it sounds full and warm, yet clear (ET10), but also tight and spanky, with just enough sparkle to make it sing out (from the Ret).
In the Brit line … the Retro 10 would REALLY bring out both solid bottom as well as extend the top-end response … and make it louder! The GB10 would make it sound more straight-up Marshall Bluesbreaker/JTM 45 tone-wise.
Installed the g10c. It just sounds GREAT. Simply better and louder.
The WGS is much better than the original speaker but also much heavier. My little combo became a HEAVY s.o.b.
Yeah, that’s the speaker that brought me to the WGS family … I’d NEVER heard a 10 sound that HUGE and beautiful!
Thanks for taking the time to post your results here for everyone to learn from ![]()
I have to agree with magic. I purchased a Bassbreaker a couple of weeks ago. The tone from the stock speaker wasn`t bad but decided to switch it out with the g10c and it made a world of difference. Just all around a way better speaker and I was able to find the tone I was looking for. What brought me to WGS was the WGS g12c. I had a Hot Rod Deluxe and was searching for something to tone it down and warm it up. I installed the g12c with a new set of tubes and it was an incredible difference, excellent tone. I live in a condo and the Hot Rod was just way to loud to play here at the house so I sold the amp and started the search, found the Bassbreaker and paired it with the g10c and new tubes. Well found a perfect replacement for the Hot Rod. Thank you WGS.
UPDATE
I loved the 007 so much with G10C that I tbought the limited edition Bassbreaker 15 for the extra- features.
Well…
As this is not a Fender forum, I shall not elaborate any further on my disapointment.
I just wanted to stress that the WGS g10C in the little bluesbreaker 007 is REALLY a good match!
(Of course I kept the 007 and sold the 15.)
