hello, I have a question - what speaker is used in the VIP series amplifiers? is this a dedicated guitar speaker? Or is it a full range speaker like a speaker system? I can not find the characteristics and frequency range of the speaker anywhere.

It's a guitar speaker advertised as tuned/matched to that amp. I have a VIP II that I added a jack to switch from internal to external speaker.
Initially I connected to a Randall 2x12 (8ohms!) and it did not sound nearly as good as the original Blue Marvel.

thanks for the answer,
Is the blue marvel original for the VIP series? did I understand correctly? only he is tuned for VIP?
I think due to the fact that it accepts a bass guitar, it has a better extended lower end.
