G12H-75 Creamback

Back in the late 60s the G12H was created by fixing an ‘H’ type (heavy) magnet to the body of a G12M guitar speaker. Result: a speaker with more power and a different tonal balance: firmer bass and a more pronounced top end. So we added an ‘H’ magnet to the G12M-65 Creamback to create a guitar speaker that delivers the sonic signature of a G12H combined with Creamback levels of power handling. The result is the G12H-75 Creamback. It delivers 75-watts of power handling with ease and has unmistakeable G12H tone with a tighter low end than the G12M-65 Creamback and a punchier more dynamic high end. The H magnet brings additional focus body and girth to the Creamback tone. It thickens single notes resulting in a highly articulate vocal character. These additional characteristics mean that the G12H-75 Creamback offers exceptional performance when used for lead guitar and sounds massive loaded into a 4×12 cab!

G12M-65 Creamback

The G12M Greenback is perhaps the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. Developed in the mid-sixties it was quickly adopted by players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page who typified the louder and more aggressive blues rock playing styles that came to characterize that era.

The G12M-65 Creamback produces the familiar woody G12M tone but handles greater power, making it ideally suited for today’s amps when a vintage tone is desired. The increased power handling brings with it additional low end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid range crunchy upper- mids and sweet refined highs.

G12 – 50GL Lynchback (Legacy)

One of the most recognizable names in the world of heavy metal guitar, George Lynch, has recorded more than twenty albums and is famous for his accomplished and inventive guitar playing. In 2010 George challenged Celestion to build his dream guitar loudspeaker. He wanted a new style of speaker blending world-renowned Celestion vintage tonality with the capability of providing on demand a harder-edged and more modern sound.

Tonally the G12-50GL Lynchback incorporates the kind of detail and harmonic complexity found in vintage models of the late 1960s combined with increased headroom and the attitude aggression and mid-band character of some of the more modern Celestion speakers. The result is an ideal balance between a detailed vintage warmth that makes your lead sound sing and an up-front attitude that delivers punchier rhythm tones capable of cutting through the mix.

Heritage Series G12M (Legacy)

The original G12M of the 1960s was Celestion’s first guitar speaker to use a ceramic magnet and paved the way for high power guitar amplifiers. The G12M uses a medium weight magnet to produce a sound that is smooth and warm but bright enough to hold its own against any rock backline. Known simply these days as the ‘Greenback’ the G12M’s fabled ‘brown tone’ is characterised by a warm controlled low-end a rich vocal mid-range and a delicate detailed top-end. Loaded into a 4×12 and driven hard these speakers exude warm crunchy chords and sweet searing single-notes.
