Heritage Series G12-65

Originally created in the late 70s using more modern materials and techniques for a higher power handling the G12-65 is widely regarded as one of the best guitar speakers ever produced for use in a 4×12 cabinet. With its fast attack and tightly controlled low end the G12-65 had become a firm favourite with hard rock players by the early 80s. The precisely tuned mid-range and crisp defined top-end contribute to an aggressive crunch sound that punches through the mix while the mid-range warmth and detail give weight and depth to single notes.

Heritage Series G12H(75)

It’s hard to escape the sound of the G12H; just listen to any Hendrix recording and chances are you’ll be hearing a whole raft of them powering the guitar out of the mix. These faithful re-creations capture the unmistakeable mojo of late 60s rock guitar tones. The Heritage Series G12H (75) features a 75 c/s ‘lead’ cone for an alternative tonal balance that places a little less emphasis on bass frequencies. Choose this version if you prefer a tighter bottom end with a punchy upper mid-range and sparkling highs.

G12K-100

Celestion’s very own monster of rock the G12K- 100 makes full use of the heaviest G12 magnet to combine huge power handling with superb clarity across a wide frequency response. A massive bottom-end rock-hard mid-range and restrained top-end make this the perfect guitar speaker to add thump and grind to modern high-gain tones. Loaded in 4x12s it delivers its famous sledgehammer lows but it also often finds use in small boutique combos bringing a powerful mix of low-end warmth and mid-range attack.

G12 Century Vintage

In developing the G12 Century Vintage we set out to use our Neodymium technology to design a modern speaker with a distinctly classic vibe. The result is a unique blend of extraordinary note definition and vintage character.Exceptionally lightweight and loud with a tightly controlled low-end the Century Vintage exhibits a clear powerful mid-range and crisp bright top- end. With super-fast attack and superb tracking this neodymium guitar speaker is ideal for use in amps favoured by high-speed guitar players – both high gain rockers and clean country pickers.

G12T-75

Featured in what is probably the world’s top selling 4×12 cabinet the G12T-75 guitar speaker is a high powered rock player’s dream. Built to meet the demands of high gain amplifiers the G12T-75 combines a huge, tightly controlled low-end and aggressive mid-range, with a softened top-end that adds a welcome sweetness to overdrive distortion alongside aggressive upper harmonics.

These are the characteristics that make the G12T-75 the weapon of choice for Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani.

G12M Greenback

The G12M Greenback has evolved over the decades but still retains its essential sought- after tone. Angus Young has been a Greenback devotee since the early days of AC/DC.

This model is voiced with additional broad mid-range attack and restrained top-end to give a forward punchy attitude to chords and a searing lead tone without fizz. With its well-controlled low end it can be used singly in low-powered amps or in multiples for high-power rock heads. It’s an ideal guitar speaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps.

G12H Anniversary

Originally re-released to celebrate our 70th Anniversary, the G12H guitar speaker remains hugely popular with players looking to recreate the classic sounds of 60s and 70s rock.

With a strong aggressive low-end and powerful low-mids the G12H penetrates any mix with an attacking upper mid-range and an ice-cool top- end. Used singly or in quartets it provides serious attitude to soft amp tones easily cutting through loud stage levels for chord work and imparting a hard edge to single notes. A favourite in the ’boutique’ amplifier market the G12H guitar speaker is often used on its own or paired with a Celestion Blue or Gold for a full-bodied sound that adds ceramic attitude to the chime of an Alnico speaker.

G12 EVH

Throughout his career, whether in the studio or on the stage, the Celestion 20-watt ‘Greenback’ has played an essential role to Edward Van Halen in making the tones that rewrote the book on guitar sound.

When it came time to select speakers for his new EVH Brand 5150-III signature amp, there was only one choice – Celestion.The Heritage Series G12M guitar speaker faithfully reproduces the sonic qualities of the original ’60s version Greenback used to make EVH tone from day one. With the addition of a black rear can featuring the EVH logo and his unmistakable red, white and black stripes, the G12EVH was born. Unmistakable look, but more importantly unmistakable tone.

Midnight 60

The Midnight 60 continues Celestion’s tradition of delivering rich, classic British tone in innovative new ways, featuring the moving parts that were inspired by the V-Type design, but with a different magnet assembly which has the effect of shifting the tonal balance to give a sonic character more reminiscent of Celestion’s vintage G12L speaker.

Whatever the genre, Midnight 60 provides an exhilarating sound in the classic Celestion style. Cleans are well balanced with just enough top end to make the high frequencies sparkle. Overdriven this speaker brings searing rock tones with plenty of low-end warmth and mid-band character.

Neo Creamback

The Neo Creamback is every ounce a Classic Celestion delivering all the magical tone you’d get from a traditional Creamback at around half the weight.

Voiced to be “in between” the G12M -65 and G12H-75 Creambacks, you still get the low end punch warm vocal midrange and sweet refined highs the Creamback is famous for: push it hard and enjoy the ‘race-car growl’ that sets pulses racing. But pick up a cab that’s loaded with Neo Creambacks and you’ll see what makes this speaker truly different.
