Curious about these. I know on the older models you could unplug the internal speaker from the chassis and use a different speaker cab. Is that still the case with the new SE, or is it hard wired?

Yes ! Not about the speaker but that you brought this amp up .

And - besides Jake’s question, did they change the biasing and onset/type of distortion on this current iteration ?

I did notice in some up close pics I saw from a dealer (forget which one now) the GT power tubes were clearly labeled “2”. The way GT grades tubes, that’s gonna make for real early breakup. I’d also like to know if that’s the standard tube they’re shipping these with. If so I’d need different ones. When I buy GT I generally go with a #7 grade.

The SE is a Pro Junior IV with regular telex and a cheaper speaker. If you look at the manual for the Pro Jr. IV in the Support section of Fender's site, you can clearly see the 1/4" speaker jack is still on the outside of the chassis just like the earlier models. I can't answer the question about the tube grading.
