Ipswich, UK (June 25, 2018) — Celestion, the premier manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers with a celebrated history in creating the world’s renowned classic guitar tones, is pleased to debut the V-Type IR as the latest addition to their acclaimed line of Impulse Responses, the definitive digital representations of the company’s renowned classic tones., One of the company’s newest guitar speakers, the V-Type is sweet-sounding with a superbly balanced character that imparts a real vintage musicality; built with the modern player in mind. The new V-Type IR, as well as the rest of the collection of genuine Celestion IRs, are available for audition and download at CelestionPlus.

The new V-Type has a vintage pedigree, combining elements of the company’s most classic speakers, particularly the G12H Creamback and the G12M Greenback, to deliver well balanced tone right across the frequency range. The V-Type offers an alternative tonal flavour and a warm tactile feel.  Highs are open and airy, but never shrill or brittle; complemented by full-bodied lows and a well-balanced midrange. The speaker’s distinctive percussiveness is sure to bring joy to rhythm players, with a lower midrange that gets agreeably punchy when played dirty. Clean sounds sparkle and glimmer, but there’s still plenty of raunch on tap when it’s time to rock out.

The V-Type offers open and airy highs, chime and sparkle in the upper mids, a warm, well rounded mid-range and punchy lows, making it a great choice for a range of playing styles and rock genres. Now it’s easy to experience the modern vintage tones of the Celestion V-Type at home, in the studio or live, by downloading the new V-Type IR. Great on its own, or mixed with another speaker from Celestion’s range of IRs, the V-Type IR is a perfect place to start as a first addition to a Celestion IR collection, as well as an exciting addition to an existing collection.

Five individual IR varieties of the V-Type are available for download, which correspond to each of 5 separate types of cabinet, including: 1×12 (open back), 1×12 (closed back), 2×12 (open back), 2×12 (closed back) and 4×12 (closed back.) These can be purchased either separately, as an entire collection for a savings of over 40%, or as part of a Pick & Mix option. Celestion’s Pick & Mix option features IR combinations of either 3 or 5 cabinets from the company’s full range of IRs, offering customers flexibility and value pricing in building their personal IR library.

“Celestion is pleased to continue to add to the extended family of Impulse Responses with the introduction of the V-Type IR,” says Nigel Wood, Celestion CEO. “As a modern speaker with a vintage heritage, the V-Type is a great addition to any IR collection.”

The new V-Type IR joins the ever-growing family of authentic Celestion Impulse Responses which are available for purchase on Celestion Plus,  including the G12T-75 IR,  G12-50GL Lynchback, Classic Lead 80, Classic Gold, A-Type , Neo Creamback,  G12-H150 Redback,  G12M Greenback, G12M-65 Creamback, G12M-75 Creamback, G12H Anniversary, G12-65,  Cream, G12-35XC, Celestion Blue and Vintage 30 models.

About Celestion Impulse Responses

Celestion IRs, which capture the essential behavior of the cabinet in the specific space in which it was recorded, including the frequency and phase response of single drivers as well as the interaction of multiple speakers, offer the user significant benefits. In both recording and live production, Celestion IRs enable the desired tone to be precisely and consistently reproduced regardless of the music recording or live sound environment. And IR users can escape the limitations of a single mic and cabinet setup and explore a universe of possibilities to create the perfect tone. Once you find a tone that you love, it can be precisely recreated, in the studio or on the road, time after time. And the IRs allow Celestion customers to audition specific models before purchasing one or more physical speakers.

Ipswich, UK (April 5, 2018) — Celestion, the premier manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers with a rich history in creating classic guitar tones known the world over, is pleased to debut the G12T-75 IR as the latest addition to their acclaimed line of Impulse Responses, the definitive digital representations of the company’s renowned classic tones. Famous as one of the world’s best-selling premium 4×12 speakers, Celestion’s classic G12T-75 guitar speaker has long been recognized for its combination of assertiveness and great clarity. Customers who desire this robust modern tone in an Impulse Response can audition and download the new G12T-75 IR at Celestion Plus.

Known also by many players as the T75, the Celestion G12T-75 was originally conceived in the 80’s, as a “hot rodded” more powerful version of the company’s G12M Greenback, ideally suited to the high gain amps that were becoming more common around that time. It’s hard to say whether the G12T-75 helped to influence the development of a more modern, industrial sound that characterised 80’s metal, or whether it was the other way around; but either way, it has become well established in the Celestion firmament, proving itself to be far more than just a speaker of its time.

As you might expect, the G12T-75 is much favoured among professional guitarists looking for a full-on, heavy but modern tone for metal or rock. Its punchy low end, aggressive mids and balanced highs have been incorporated by successive generations of metal artists from the 80’s through to today, such as Iron Maiden, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Deftones, Slipknot, Shadows Fall, Mastodon and beyond.

Five individual IR varieties of the G12T-75 are available for download, which correspond to each of 5 separate types of cabinet, including: 1×12 (open back), 1×12 (closed back), 2×12 (open back), 2×12 (closed back) and 4×12 (closed back.)

“Celestion is pleased to debut the G12T-75 IR as our first Impulse Response to be introduced in 2018, says Nigel Wood, Celestion CEO. “The speaker’s well-known heritage makes it a natural extension of our Impulse Response collection — providing our celebrated speaker tones in a convenient digitally downloadable format.”

The new G12T-75 Impulse Response will appeal to anyone who enjoys mixing up their tone with a touch of the unconventional or rebellious. Enjoy on its own for some hardcore, high volume grunge–or use it to complement the tone of one of your other favourite speakers for an unexpected tonal twist.

The new G12T-75 IR joins the ever-growing family of authentic Celestion Impulse Responses which are available for purchase on Celestion Plus,  including the G12-50GL Lynchback, Classic Lead 80, Classic Gold, A-Type , Neo Creamback,  G12-H150 Redback,  G12M Greenback, G12M-65 Creamback, G12M-75 Creamback, G12H Anniversary, G12-65,  Cream, G12-35XC, Celestion Blue and Vintage 30 models mounted in 1×12 and 2×12 open and closed back and 4×12 cabinets. Celestion’s new IR Pick & Mix option features combinations of either 3 or 5 cabinets from the company’s full range of IRs, offering customers complete flexibility and value pricing in building their personal IR library.

Ipswich, UK (March 13,  2018) —   Celestion is very pleased to announce a new way for customers to acquire and build upon their library of Impulse Responses, the company’s authentic digitally downloadable speaker tones,  The Pick & Mix option, which is available in combinations of either 3 or 5 cabinets from the company’s full range of IRs, gives customers complete flexibility in the way they choose to build their personal IR library at a significant savings compared to purchasing individual IRs.  The entire family of Celestion Impulse Responses, which currently includes 15 sets of classic Celestion loudspeaker IRs introduced during the past year, are available for audition and download at newly redesigned Celestion Plus.

With the Pick & Mix offering, customers can choose to include IRs from the same speaker or different speakers, and in any combination of cabinet types (1×12, 2×12, 4×12, closed or open back.)  This option makes it simple to build a Celestion Impulse Response collection that includes only the speakers and cabinet types that match particular interests and style of playing. For example, heavy metal players might favor a 4 x 12 cabinet, the choice could be 4 x 12 closed back cabinets for the Vintage 30, G12M Greenback, G12-65, G12H-150 Redback or the G12-50GL Lynchback. And for “purer” speaker tones, perhaps more appropriate for melodic lead guitar, a player might want to focus on 1×12 or 2×12 cabinets, together with speakers that have been tried and tested on countless solos throughout the years, such as the Classic Lead 80 1×12, , Neo Creamback 1×12, G12H Anniversary 1×12 and 2×12.

The Pick & Mix collection options of 5 or 3 cabinets offer significant savings over the cost of buying cabinets alone. The 5 Cab Custom Collection allows customers to pick any combinations of five cabinets for almost 50% off the price of buying the cabinets separately. And with the 3 Cab Custom Collection, customers can pick any three cabinets for more than 40% off the price of buying 3 cabinets separately. So it’s never been more affordable to quickly build an entire IR library of favourite Celestion speakers.

“The Celestion collection of Impulse Responses have received overwhelmingly positive acclaim from customers around the world,” says Nigel Wood, Celestion CEO. “We want to be able to offer our customers more creative flexibility and value when purchasing our IRs, and so we’re delighted to introduce the Pick &Mix options.”

The Pick & Mix option is also a valuable audition tool for customers planning to buy physical Celestion speakers.  As choosing from the company’s extensive range can be challenging, as there’s no easy way to get a true like-for-like comparison between several speakers at the same time, the Pick & Mix option allows customers to create a shortlist of their 3 or 5 speakers and try them all with their own guitars and amps before they buy.

The ever-growing family of authentic Celestion Impulse Responses which are available for purchase on Celestion Plus. include the G12-50GL Lynchback, Classic Lead 80, Classic Gold, A-Type , Neo Creamback,  G12-H150 Redback,  G12M Greenback, G12M-65 Creamback, G12M-75 Creamback, G12H Anniversary, G12-65,  Cream, G12-35XC, Celestion Blue and Vintage 30 models mounted in 1×12 and 2×12 open and closed back and 4×12 cabinets.

Anaheim, CA (January 24, 2018) —   In  the past year since the Celestion first debuted their Impulse Responses at the NAMM Show, customers around the globe, including many of the world’s leading producers and musicians, are embracing  the company’s digital downloads to achieve exactly the tones they are looking for.  The acclaimed family of Celestion Impulse Responses, which currently includes 15 sets of classic Celestion loudspeaker IRs introduced during the past year, are available for audition and download at Celestion Plus.

Producer, engineer and musician  Bob Rock, known for producing a number of the world famous rock bands and artists such as The Tragically Hip, Aerosmith, The Cult, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe,  Metallica, Bryan Adams,  Michael Bublé, Black Veil Brides,  and David Lee Roth, has become a big fan of Celestion Impulse Responses.

“The Celestion Impulse Response Speakers are a Sonic Revelation — great speaker choices for my Kemper profiler. I’ve been using them as a plug-in to shape existing guitar tracks to sit just right in a mix, and this is just the beginning of the possibilities. They are a “must have” for pro studios and home recordings, and I am looking forward to more speaker profiles,” says Rock. “I have been using Celestion Speakers for 40 plus years and now this!! Thank you Celestion! You Rock!”

Legendary guitarist Steve Stevens is also a fan of Celestion Impulse Responses, and he describes how they respond and sound great at times when you can’t necessarily mike up a vintage guitar cabinet — and often, even when you can.

“I’ve been into the idea of using impulse responses for quite some time,” Stevens explains. “I have a Kemper profiling amp at home, and a Fractal Audio Axe-FX. I’d used some IRs from other companies, but I gotta say the ones from Celestion are on a whole other level. The descriptions of them sound exactly like the speaker drivers I’m used to. The other thing is that they’re totally phase-correct. I can treat them the way I’d treat combining real guitar cabinets, bringing them up on two channels on my mixing board. They just sound great. They’re full, and the best that there are. And I’ve used them all!”

And guitarist and musician Pete Thorn, who has performed worldwide alongside legendary artists such as Don Henley, Chris Cornell and Melissa Etheridge, has been using Celestion Impulse Responses since their debut: “Celestion are not just taking impulse responses and giving you the sound of that speaker. They’re giving you the sound of that speaker in a great speaker cabinet miked up in a world class studio with a terrific engineer doing the positioning of the microphones, setting the mic preamps and everything else. You’re getting the added benefit of the experience and knowledge of a company like Celestion, with a great recording engineer and recording in a world-class facility.”

In addition to leading producers and musicians, customers from around the world have offered praise for Celestion IRs, a sampling of which can be found here.

“Since their premiere at last year’s NAMM Show, we are delighted to announce that Celestion Impulse Responses have been received with great praise by our customers around the world,” says Nigel Wood, Celestion CEO. “We are committed to continually adding to our offerings with interesting and original IRs, as well as special bundles, so that our customers can continue to enjoy a great variety of tonal choices available as digital downloads.”
