Changing from a V30 to a Weber 12F150 50w with light dope definately changed the character of the Z28 and acomplished what I wanted- Bringing out the Fender character.
Weber describes the speaker as, "Tweed tone with ceramic punch...warm smooth breakup, aggressive, punchy, loud." I'd say htis is accurate. The speaker has much clearer highs than the V30, but with no schrillness- Perfect as I thought the V30 was a tad dark with the Z28. The lows are there and solid, but they aren't as loud or pronounced as they are with the V30.
Someone suggested the Z28 bass might be too much for this Weber, but I disagree. Perhaps they had an alnico or a lower wattage version of the Weber, but I think the bass is solid. Personally, I don't think 6V6 amps put out an overwealming amount of bass (though the Doc does a great job with the Z28 vs. say an old Deluxe). I got the 50w version of the 12F150 so I could do some experimenting with my 6545 as well.
I've read good things on the Eminance Patriot for Fender tones but I've never tried nor heard one. They're cheaper than the Weber, though I was happy to support Ted Weber as he's always been helpful and supportive whenever I've e mailed him.

ive got the same sreaker in my 2-12 cab. i bought a 12a150 and a 12f150 but got both un doped. i was also looking for a little more american sound from my rt 66 there are a little less highs but thats my preferance. sits in the mix very well with the band. most of the country guy think its too dark but thats why they make 7-up and pepsi
