"Right for RIVERA Clubster 25 Doce"

Overall:

(see rating details)

My Rivera came with a Celestion Seventy / 80. After breaking it in I was satisfied with the clean tones using my Les Pauls and Teles and Strats. But I could not get the overdriven sounds I was after from the drive channel. I wanted a Plexi-to-JCM 800 tone but it was elusive through the Seventy / 80. I picked up a Wizard based upon my experience with one in a Blues Deluxe and I'm very satisfied with it in my Clubster 25 Doce. The cleans are wonderful-like listening to angels striking perfectly tuned bells..that's the tone from the clean channel. On the overdrive channel the Wizard just screams MARSHALL with the mids at 8-10 and the bass / treble at zero. I know it sounds crazy...but the Wizard is articulate with a perfect balance on the overdrive channel, with those tone settings. I love this speaker and would recommend it. BTW the Clubster pushes 25 watts using a pair of 6V6 tubes. The cab is open-backed but I have no issues with cone cry as some have mentioned. The Wizard's efficiency make my amp much louder and super sensitive to guitar volume/tone controls as well as pick attack. It perfectly compliments the Rivera, which has a super sensitive preamp. To me it's the perfect choice for the Clubster and I love it in the Fender Blues Deluxe as well. A keeper, for sure.
