The Celestion Interview: Jay Peabody, Founder of Loudspeakers Plus

25 years ago, Loudspeakers Plus found a unique niche for themselves, supplying music dealers all over the U.S. with loudspeaker components. At the time, there were few outlets for dealers to buy replacement and repair parts, and often major manufacturers would not stock these items. Loudspeakers Plus became the “one-stop shop” that supported all the major loudspeaker brands so dealers could quickly and easily solve customer repair and replacement issues. Today, Loudspeakers Plus stocks over 95% of the speakers, high-frequency drivers, replacement parts, and components for virtually any major manufacturer that matters.

Founder and CEO Jay Peabody says that their formula for success is simple “Give every customer the right product at the right price.” And his team’s dedication and years of experience ensure they will get exactly what they need when they need it. We spoke with Jay about the origins of Loudspeakers Plus, the importance of providing great customer service, his thoughts about advances in the speaker industry, and more.

What is your favorite album of all time and why?
That’s tough, I don’t think I could pick just one. My parents exposed me to a lot of different kinds of music. Before I was 10 years old, I had seen concerts by the Monkeys, Johnny Cash, and Andres Segovia. It was an amazing, wide range of music. As I was coming of age in the 70s, I gravitated towards heavier music like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Rush. But if I have to pick one, it would probably be Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy.
Great choice. Now, what first got you started in the audio industry?
I took kind of a convoluted path. When I left college, I had a degree in mass communications. I started working for my father’s promotional tech writing agency. I was writing copy and supervising product photography and things like that, but at the same time, I was an aspiring professional musician. I played bass guitar and sang background vocals. So, I was also a touring and recording artist for a few years. After some time, I realized that playing music probably wasn’t going to turn out the way I wanted it. My dad had a client in the music industry, and I started working for them. They made microphone connectors of all things. That snowballed into getting into the speaker business, and in 1999, I started my own company.

Was that Loudspeakers Plus? Can you tell us more about how it started?
Yes, it was. When I started with this other company, I moved up in the ranks and then I moved to another company and became a general manager, but the corporate thing didn’t work well for my personality, so I decided to do my own thing and just focus on speaker products. I took a chance with my savings and it seems to have turned out pretty well…at least I’ve been happy with it. Now we’ve been in business for 25 years. I must be doing something right. [Laughs]

Tell us about Loudspeakers Plus? We’d like to hear about both your business and the customers that you serve.
If you’re a speaker designer or small speaker builder, if you’re an artist or a musician, if you‘re a DJ or a PA company, or working on club, school, or corporate installs Loudspeakers Plus will not only provide you the original speaker parts that you need to design or build something, but also help replace and service them to get up and running fast. If we can’t help you, we’ll direct you to who you need to speak with.

It doesn’t matter what brand, people call us every day for help with JBL, EV, Mackie, and EAW products, to name a few. Those companies are great but contacting them is not the most efficient way for a customer to get support when all they need to do is replace one speaker driver. That’s where we step in. Basically, much of our business is supporting products that are out there to keep them going so customers don’t have to just throw them away when a part is damaged.
We don’t just do one-offs though; we’ll sell up to 50-70 speakers at a time. That’s the range where we operate.

How do you feel your background influenced your decision to do this, and how does your background influence the company overall?
Product-wise, I already understood what I was selling because they were the products that I used as a musician, speakers, so that was a no-brainer. One side of the business is understanding what it is that you’re selling. The other side is the attitude of how you approach people. Partnering with them and helping them solve problems has turned out to be the most successful part of our business. Over time we develop relationships where people can really count on us.

There’s no substitute for great customer service.
Yes, but it’s the kind of thing that you don’t see as often as you used to, especially with large corporations. As we go into the digital age, we’re less likely to connect human to human and engage with each other. Hopefully, as we continue to move forward, we’ll go back in the direction where we did have that more personal connection.
Where we’re a small business, when you call Loudspeakers Plus, you’re not talking to an endless phone tree or automated people who just push numbers, take orders, read from a script, and don’t know what they’re talking about. If I need something to help a customer, I can go back to the warehouse to find what they need or to the shipping department to send them what they need. I’ve done that from the beginning, so I know every aspect of the business. In fact, everyone in our company can be consulted to a point and do other things, outside of their job description to help customers, whatever it takes.

You and your company are well-known and well-respected in the industry. In your viewpoint, what’s the main reason for that?
In our small industry, word gets around and reputation is everything. If you talk to our customers, they’ll tell you that we help them, provide answers, give them advice, and solve problems quickly. We’ve done a great job of that, and I think our longevity reflects it.

What would you say the most important technological advancement has been in our industry?
There have been so many advancements, and it seems every few years those things are trumped by something better. I never thought I’d see wireless technology get to the point that it’s at as quickly as it has. I’m not just talking about wireless itself, but the integration of high-definition audio and acoustics with wireless technology. That doesn’t affect speakers as much as it does performance and musical instruments.We deal primarily with speaker components and it’s interesting to see their evolution over the past 150 years or so since the first speaker was built. The basic physics of speakers hasn’t changed much, but the technology and materials, and the understanding of acoustics and acoustic design have changed considerably. Those advancements have made speakers basically unrecognizable from products even 20 or 30 years ago, let alone 100 years ago.
So, the most significant innovations on the speaker side of the business have been in the acoustic design of speaker cabinets. Also using advanced materials like neodymium magnets which provide high power while being very lightweight. Those in my opinion, are the big innovations.

What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?
Our customers trust and respect us. I take great pride in that because we’ve built relationships where people can rely on us. I’m not just talking about when they need something in an emergency. Of course, we come through for them in those moments, but I’m also talking about the day-to-day when they are planning their business. Whether they’re doing a club install or getting a back line ready for a tour, they know who to call.
Can you tell me about your company culture and your philosophy for leading the team?
My philosophy is when someone asks you if you can do something, you’ll say ‘Yes, I can do it.’ If you can’t do it personally, you’ll talk to another team member, and they’ll help you. As a small business, we cross-train and can do much of each other’s jobs. Everyone here at Loudspeakers Plus can make a product recommendation or ship a box. Our customers count on that. It’s just whatever it takes for the customer at the time.

How are you poised for the future?
That’s a tough one. I never would have thought or predicted what we see today, even 10 years ago. We started the business in 1999, and things have changed in the world for everyone, in every aspect, not just our industry.

We think as a small business, our resiliency and ability to pivot and do things is how we are poised for the future. I’d like to think that we have an advantage over larger companies because it’s hard to stop a loaded train when it’s moving fast. But if you’re in a sports car, you can stop quickly and turn if you need to. That’s kind of a weird analogy, but the big players in our industry try to plan years in advance, and put so much energy into their focus on innovations. Because of that, they simply can’t switch and pivot like a small company like us. When the changes come, we can change quickly with them.
There’s no doubt that the customer relationships that we’ve built also have us prepared us for the future. One of the most important ways we grow our business is by referral. I can’t tell you how many phone calls we get every week that start with “I talked to someone and they said you could help…” In most cases, this starts a relationship that we’ll have for years to come.

What music are you listening to these days?
My musical tastes have matured in a lot of ways since I was playing bass in a metal band. I’ll listen to Eminem. I’ll listen to Megadeth. I’ll listen to yacht rock. I’ll listen to Paganini, and jazz, too. I’ve been listening to Charlie Parker and I’m reading a biography on him right now. I’ll even listen to house music. It runs the gamut.
Is there anything else you want to add?
I’ve had a long and wonderful relationship with Celestion and I have to say the whole 100th anniversary celebration with them at NAMM was just a total success. It was fantastic to get together with everybody and that night it wasn’t about business. We’ve already done the work to be successful and it was just about celebrating how we got to where we are through working together. My wife was with me, and it was such a feel-good thing. It’s one of those times I’ll think back on and fondly remember.

Celestion Celebrates their Centennial Anniversary with Release of the Celestion 100 Impulse Response Collection

Ipswich, UK (February 26, 2024) — Celestion, the premier designer and manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers, well-known as the “Voice of Rock and Roll” behind many of music’s most memorable guitar performances, proudly introduces the Celestion 100 Impulse Response Collection. This downloadable library of impulse responses meticulously captures the tone of the Celestion 100 loudspeaker — recently introduced in 2024 commemoration of the company’s 100th anniversary — for any digital music production platform. Whether in a DAW for recording or a modelling amplifier for performance, these impulse responses (IRs) place one of the most iconic and historically significant Celestion sounds within arm’s reach of any musician, recordist, or producer. The Celestion 100 IRs are available for audition and download at celestionplus.com.

The Celestion 100 speaker traces its roots to the original G12, a general-purpose 12-inch radio speaker that was later fortified to meet the rapidly evolving demands of electric guitar amplification in the 1950s and ’60s. This iteration became the T530 or “Alnico Blue,” which worked so well that it was installed in the Vox combo amps (a favorite of The Beatles) that powered the “British Invasion” of the early 1960s. Today’s hardware Celestion 100 delivers the tone of those early alnico speakers and its many descendants and variants, but with more durable materials, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, and precise tolerances — akin to a collectible automobile that has been not merely restored but tastefully modernized.

The Celestion 100 Impulse Responses digitize these sonic characteristics via a meticulous recording process, beginning with studio-quality, go-to guitar cabinet microphones such as the Royer R-121 ribbon, Shure SM57, and Sennheiser MD421. Each IR thus offers a variety of mic type and placement options and can be loaded into any IR host within a DAW or into stand-alone amp modeling hardware. The result is an authentic speaker emulation that sounds every bit as outstanding as its hardware counterpart.

With the Celestion 100 IRs, musicians can expect a blooming low end and bell-like treble coupled with a sweet, shimmering midrange. When overdriven, the IRs compress gradually and musically, softening the notes’ attack in the exact same fashion as classic Celestion alnico loudspeakers.

The complete Celestion 100 IR Collection includes five cabinet configurations:

  • 1 x 12 open-back
  • 1 x 12 closed-back
  • 2 x 12 open-back,
  • 2 x 12 closed-back
  • 4 x 12 closed-back

These reflect the most widely used setups for studio recording and onstage use across single, dual, and four-speaker cabinet sizes. Each of these can also be purchased and downloaded as a single impulse response, though the full collection represents a significant cost savings compared to buying IRs individually.

Paired with a DAW and IR loader plug-in, modeling amp hardware, or amp-top load box, the Celestion 100 Impulse Response Collection provides authentic tone alongside lively and dynamic response, all without introducing latency. These benefits create a playing experience that is as credibly vintage as any speaker can achieve, but with real-world performance that is predictable and reliable in today’s most demanding recording and performance applications.

The Celestion 100 Impulse Responses join an extensive family of acclaimed Celestion IRs, including the Shades of Greenback Collection, G12-50GL Lynchback, Neo Creamback, Copperback, Hempback, Vintage 30, and many more.

The Celestion 100 Impulse Responses are available for downloadable as individual IRs and as a complete collection at  celestionplus.com..

The introduction of authentic Celestion Impulse Responses represented the company’s forward step in making their celebrated speaker tones available as digital downloads. Celestion IRs capture the essential behavior of a speaker in a particular 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. They offer significant benefits in both recording and live production, enabling the desired tone to be precisely and consistently reproduced regardless of the recording or live sound environment. Explore, audition, and download the extensive collection of Celestion guitar and bass Impulse Responses at celestionplus.com.

The Celestion Interview: Brian Weafer, Yorkville Sound

(Pickering, ON) — Canada’s Yorkville Sound has come a long way since its beginnings in the back room of the original Long & McQuade music store in downtown Toronto where, in 1963, co-founder Peter Traynor built the now-iconic Traynor DynaBass bass amplifier as a rugged, reliable alternative to the models of the day.

Today, Yorkville Sound designs and manufactures a full line of professional PA systems and loudspeakers, instrument amplifiers, installed audio systems, studio tools, microphones, and accessories under its Apex, Traynor, and Applied Research, and Technology (ART) brands, with 220 employees at the company’s 150,000-square-foot facility in Pickering, Ontario.

A leader in instrument amplification and a pioneer in loudspeaker horn and cabinet innovation, Yorkville Sound also distributes dozens of iconic pro audio and MI brands including Gibson, Epiphone, Ernie Ball Universal Audio, and Manley for Canada, and HK Audio and Hughes & Kettner for North America.

In a remarkable career spanning 36 years, Yorkville Sound VP of Internal Affairs Brian Weafer has played a key role in propelling the company forward. His background as a musician and engineer, complemented by his dedication to championing a close-knit corporate ethos that puts the needs of musicians first, has been pivotal in shaping the company’s path.

We sat down with Weafer to gain his insights into music, Yorkville’s trajectory, and the ever-evolving industry landscape.

What is your favorite album of all time, and why?

The two greatest influences for me are Todd Rundgren and Joni Mitchell.

For Todd Rundgren, it’s always going to be Something, Anything. All the songs were so good. He played all the parts himself, he recorded it all himself. It was one of the very first of those kinds of albums, like Prince did and Stevie Wonder used to do.

For Joni Mitchell, it’s Hissing of Summer Lawns. First of all, Joni Mitchell is Canadian. She used to perform in a street called Yorkville in Toronto; it was the Haight-Ashbury, hippie neighborhood. The original music store for Long & McQuade—which we’re all part of the same company—was on Yonge Street, right at that corner of Yonge and Yorkville. Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, all these people used to hang out on that street and play for nothing in those days.

When our founders, Pete Traynor and Jack Long, started the company, they went outside and looked at the street sign, it said “Yorkville,” so they called it Yorkville.

What got you interested in music and audio?

I was a jack of all trades when I was young. I played trumpet, French horn, guitar, lots of different instruments. I built my first guitar amp when I was 13 with my dad because we couldn’t afford to buy one. And you know where my dad got the schematic for the amp? From Pete Traynor, the guy who started Yorkville with Jack.

How did you get your start in the industry, and with Yorkville?

Well, I played guitar from a young age, but I also studied as an electrician. I was a quality-control tech for a big wire company. And then I was a touring musician for 10 years. When I came off the road, I saw a job in the newspaper that said that a company was looking for somebody to test guitar amps and things like that. So, I joined, and it was a good fit.

What’s your current position and how did you get there?

Within a very short time of getting the job, they asked me to go into purchasing. And then a short time after that, they asked me to be the warehouse manager, then the purchasing manager. Then I was a vice president of this and that. It didn’t take me very long to move up. Now I’m Vice President of Internal Affairs.

How did your background influence the job you do now, and the company overall?

I was a musician; I had the quality control background. I had an electronics background; I had a computer background when nobody even knew what a computer was. When I was on the road, I studied computer science at a correspondence university. I was building my own gear, tinkering, all those things. I think that tinkering and doing things yourself is what makes good companies into good companies

In the music business, for equipment to tour and be used in these harsh environments, you have to build it almost from the ground up yourself in order to maintain the quality at every level that can withstand the rigors of the road. Because everybody will tell you that it’s okay for somebody’s stereo to have a particular circuit board, but that would not last in a guitar amp, because it’ll just vibrate to death; or in a PA cabinet, where it will just break apart. So, the company has always been quality-minded from day one.

Yorkville is legendary in the industry. In your viewpoint, what’s the main reason for that?

I think we fought tooth and nail to stay true to the vertical integration, all in one building. To this day, everything is made in the building. The metal and wood are brought in and made into things. The electronics are all built in the building. The designers are in the building. It’s been that way since day one. There’s such a push to keep it that way, to keep Canadian people at their jobs.

It’s a culture. And it is very family. I always tell people, we’re an international company who’s managed to maintain that sort of early ’70s culture. That’s hard to do because you’ve still got to compete.

What product do you consider your company’s most innovative?

Yorkville innovated a lot of things over the years. The wedge monitor was kind of invented by Yorkville. Affordable, powered compact mixers. And then Bass Master amps. We had converted Fender-style amps, changed the front end a bit so that they would handle a bass guitar signal.

What do you think is the single most important technological achievement in the industry?

It’s very hard to say what the most defining thing in our industry has been. I think people would say the invention of powered speaker cabinets has been a pretty big thing. And Bluetooth, obviously.

There’s always been a great amalgamation between consumer and high-end consumer products that merge into pro sound, and vice versa. If you had asked me a long time ago if Bluetooth would ever be part of pro sound, I would’ve said no, because why? But then consumers were using sound products for their house parties. And they wanted to be able to run their Bluetooth through their little speakers, like they do their stereo. So, lots of companies started adding all these features, and eventually there’s a merger between what’s considered consumer electronics and what’s considered a pro PA now.

What is the accomplishment that you’re most proud of?

Oh, it’s all the friends I made here over the years, for sure. It’s like family.

Tell us a little about your company culture and your philosophy in leading the team.

I don’t think you’ll find anybody in management in this corporation—and it’s big, now—who hasn’t had some background in music performance.

Some people have had a career at Yorkville for 45 years. The mentality today is that people don’t realize that it is possible to have a forever job. You can have a job that pays you every single week for 45 years, and you can get married, raise kids, buy your house, and put your money away, knowing that that’s there for you. It’s like being in the same band for 40 years. Like the Rolling Stones.

How is your company poised for the future?

We’re not super mega-rich when it comes to investing in things because we’re always about sustainable growth. We’re still big believers in brick and mortar; we support our music stores, and now we’re up to about 100 music stores, so the business grows hand in hand, and it’s quite sustainable.

I’m sure everybody benefits from e-commerce. But in the end, you wouldn’t want to buy a multi-thousand-dollar guitar without sitting down in a store and playing “Stairway to Heaven,” you know? It’s a hands-on, tactile industry.

What music do you enjoy these days?

I still play guitar; I’ve recently switched over to swing jazz and finger-style jazz. My line has been, I used to play three chords for 3,000 people. Now I play 3,000 chords for three people.

Celestion Adds the Lynchback to its Collection of Digital Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs)

Ipswich, UK (June 06, 2023) —Celestion, the celebrated manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers and professional audio drivers for sound reinforcement applications, is proud to announce the addition of the G12-50GL Lynchback collection to its offerings of  Dynamic Speaker Response (DSRs,) the next-generation digital speaker responses that capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses to deliver the  greatest tonal detail. The new Lynchbacks join the extensive collection of Celestion DSRs designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained studio-grade DAW plug-in offering ground-breaking levels of detail and stunning guitar and bass speaker tones. The complete Celestion digital collections of IRs and DSRs, as well as the SpeakerMix Pro plug-in, are available for download at CelestionPlus.com.

Created to meet the exacting standards of iconic metal guitarist George Lynch, the G12-50GL Lynchback speaker delivers the legendary and much-celebrated vintage tone of a G12M Greenback with the additional capability of producing a harder, more aggressive sound on demand. Not just for high-octane shred-metal, the Celestion Lynchback delivers responsiveness, clarity, and superb dynamics.

The new Celestion Lynchback Dynamic Speaker Response collection, available exclusively for use with the company’s ground-breaking SpeakerMix Pro plugin, enables users to achieve stunningly realistic guitar tones in their DAWs with ease. Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs) running in SpeakerMix Pro react to the dynamics of the signal hitting the speaker to create the most authentic micro-dynamic sound of the real speakers for the next generation in digital tone, with all the life and three-dimensional feel of the real thing.

The Lynchback DSRs have been recorded by the company’s expert sound engineers using the same meticulous techniques as all of Celestion’s best-selling IRs & DSRs. Captured with three pro-quality studio microphones – the classic Shure SM57, a Royer R-121 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser MD421. Each of these mics were recorded in six different positions – named within the speaker response files as Balanced, Bright, fat, Thin, Dark and Dark 2 – as well as a rear mic position for the open back cabs. The addition of a Neumann TLM107 room mic provides the user with a huge number of different mic mixes and a range of unique tonal options.

The files for the Celestion Lynchback DSRs series are available individually or as a complete set. Explore the full range of sounds for this classic speaker, at a considerable saving over buying the individual files. The Lynchback DSR set includes five cabinet configurations: 1×12 (both open and closed back), 2×12 (both open and closed back) and 4×12 (closed back).

As a host program for the new Lynchback and the entire line of Celestion DSRs, SpeakerMix Pro presents the genuine next-generation virtual speaker solution. More than just a top-level IR loader and convolution engine for hosting impulse responses– it offers pristine sound, mixes up to six channels of different responses into a stereo or mono track and even fixes IR sample rate/project mismatches.

With SpeakerMix Pro, users can:

  • Discover Celestion’s proprietary Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs), the next generation in Impulse Response technology that captures the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear response for even more detail and realism.
  • Integrate their personal library of Celestion and third-party Impulse Responses to make the most of the tones they already own. SpeakerMix Pro uses its unique DSR algorithm to make existing IRs more dynamic sounding, enhancing their tone with even greater feel.
  • Incorporate Celestion’s superb room responses (or add your own) into your mix for an authentic ‘live’ sound. Add room delay for further ‘depth’ and ‘size.’
  • Deploy the unique Z-curve function to closely model the dynamic electrical coupling between amp and speaker.
  • Fine-tune the mic position, enabling the user to adjust the position of the microphone across the speaker until they’ve found the tone that’s just-right (DSR-specific functionality).

The free 14-day demo of the SpeakerMix Pro plugin is available for download and automatically installs with 10 free DSR speaker cabinets curated to give users a broad tone experience across the Celestion range of guitar and bass speakers. Users can upgrade to the full version of SpeakerMix Pro at any time during or after the trial period.

Celestion Introduces the Neo Creamback Digital Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs)

Ipswich, UK (May 15, 2023) —Celestion, the celebrated manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers and professional audio drivers for sound reinforcement applications, is pleased  to announce that the Neo Creamback collection is available digitally as a  Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR,) the next-generation digital speaker responses that capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses for even greater tonal detail. The new Neo Creambacks join the extensive collection of Celestion DSRs designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained studio-grade DAW plug-in offering ground-breaking levels of detail and stunning guitar and bass speaker tones. The complete Celestion digital collections of IRs and DSRs, as well as the SpeakerMix Pro plug-in, are available for download at CelestionPlus.com.

The Neo Creamback is every ounce a Classic Celestion, delivering all the magical tone from a traditional Creamback at around half the weight. When it comes to Speaker Responses of course, the speaker’s weight doesn’t matter in the slightest. This specially designed magnet assembly results in a speaker that easily delivers a Creamback-style tone and adds a little extra magic all its own.

Now available as a Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR) this highly accurate digital representation is voiced to be “in between” the celebrated G12M -65 and G12H-75 Creambacks. There is still 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! And the Neo Creamback adds to this the shimmering presence that a player would get from an Alnico guitar speaker as well as some additional note separation thanks to the powerful forces of the neo magnet.

Now the Celestion Neo Creamback has been faithfully captured in digital form as Dynamic Speaker Responses. Recorded by the company’s expert sound engineers using the same meticulous techniques as all of Celestion’s best-selling IRs & DSRs, the Neo Creamback DSR was captured with three pro-quality studio microphones – the classic Shure SM57, a Royer R-121 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser MD421. Each of these mics were recorded in six different positions – named within the speaker response files as Balanced, Bright, fat, Thin, Dark and Dark 2 – as well as a rear mic position for the open back cabs. The addition of a Neumann TLM107 room mic provides the user with a huge number of different mic mixes and a range of unique tonal options.

The files for the Celestion Neo Creamback DSRs series are available individually or as a complete set. Explore the full range of sounds for this classic speaker, at a considerable saving over buying the individual files. The Celestion Neo Creamback DSR set includes five cabinet configurations: 1×12 (both open and closed back), 2×12 (both open and closed back) and 4×12 (closed back).

Guitarist/ Singer Songwriter Nick Perri Carefully Crafts Chart-Busting Concept Rock with Celestion

Imagine dreaming the rock ’n’ roll dream since childhood, then living it by the time you were 17 years old. Not as a solo singer who won a TV competition, and not as a member of a prefab boy (or girl) band, but as a bona fide rock outfit. It happens to almost no one, but it happened to Nick Perri. His first band Silvertide played professionally whilst its members were still in school and then on the major festival circuit immediately thereafter, and he has worked as a guitar sideman for many of his musical heroes. Now an accomplished singer-songwriter, his latest studio work, the double concept album Terra Firma, drops in June. All along his incredible journey, Celestion guitar loudspeakers have been his trusty companions, and he shared his story with us.

Start by telling us, who is Nick Perri?

I was born and raised in Philly but lived in California about 16 years. I moved there in my early 20s after my first band, Silvertide, broke up. I moved back to the Philly area in 2020 because my parents are getting older and I wanted to spend more time with them, and also let them get to know my daughter better. It’s been great.

We can see that you have a cool home studio, too.

Music is what I do day and night and I have a setup that goes with me wherever I am. What can I say, I’m obsessed! Music is something I couldn’t turn off if I tried.

What were some of your first experiences with playing music?

When I was 12 years old, my aunt who’s no longer with us, we called her the Dode — D-o-d-e. This was in the mid-’90s, and on cassette she gave me AD/DC’s Highway to Hell and Pearl Jam’s Ten. From that moment on I was obsessed, and I was soaking up stuff at lightning speed like kids are able to do.

That included all the big ’90s bands, like Nirvana and Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, but I also had a couple of mentors who were feeding me classic rock like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. When I heard Pink Floyd, it was like the gods of the universe were handing me something very special. It made me feel like anything was possible.

My first record deal was at 17, so between 12 and 17, like I said I was just digesting things at a crazy speed. At 17 I left school to do music and I thought of it like joining the circus.

What was your first experience playing professionally?

It was that band I started in high school called Silvertide. We started like most bands playing coffee houses and open mics. Then we got a gig playing one night a week on South Street, which was like the Sunset Boulevard of Philly. We were kids and for lack of a better word, we were playing a more classic style of rock and roll, like ’60s and ’70s, so I suppose that gained us some attention.

We started playing more nights a week until it was like five or six, we got a manager, and then it was off to the races. This was like early 2000s, 2001, so sort of just before the decline of the record business as we knew it. We got to open for Aerosmith. There was a bidding war, we got signed by Clive Davis, and toured the world — Europe, Japan.  ZZ Top, Mötely Crüe, Foo Fighters, and the Van Halen reunion tour in 2004 …I got to play with all my heroes. It was just this just wild ride. And I was using Celestion speakers the whole time.

Then at 22 years old it was over, and I was like, what am I going to do with the rest of my life? I had left school and I had no real skills outside of music. Then instead of this crazy, once-in-a-lifetime, lightning in a bottle kind of thing, I had to face the reality of trying to make a life in the music business, trying to make it a career. It’s something I’m still working on.

How did you cope with such a huge change?

I guess I sort of settled into, “Okay, what is my non-ridiculous version of this going to be? What is sustainable? What will allow me to have a family?” So that’s been the last 15 years or so.

I’ve done the sideman thing and played with various artists for whom I’m grateful for the opportunity. Perry Farrell was a big one since I grew up listening to Jane’s Addiction in the ’90s.

But I’m a songwriter at heart. I’ve written my own songs since I was very young, and all roads always lead back to original music. It’s the harder road, and even though I make way less money than I would playing someone else’s music, I just have the compulsion to create my own songs.

Were you on that first Satellite Party record with Perry Farrell and Nuno Bettencourt? 

Not the studio album but I toured that record. So, Nuno did Europe on the first leg of the tour, and when they got back, I guess he had a falling out with Perry. They called me two days before they were on The Tonight Show. This was when Leno was host. It was unreal. I was 22 years old and had to learn 20 songs in two days! Then I did a year of touring with Satellite Party.

Tell us about Terra Firma.

Yes, that’s been a labor of love for three years. Sun Via, which came out in 2020, was really the debut. The first record I ever put out under my own name, and where I was frontman and singer. It was like a rebirth. Despite all odds, completely independently with very little help from anybody, it debuted in the top ten on iTunes and we sold a bunch of vinyl records and spent two and a half years touring. It was really the shot in the arm I needed to make me realize I could do this songwriter role I had always been watching from the side.

With Terra Firma, any minute I wasn’t on the road I was in the studio writing and recording it. It’s a double album, a concept album, and very personal. It’s very important to get it out into the universe for me. I’ve never worked on any one thing this long and this hard.

When you’re starting out and you go to the retail music store, you usually don’t buy a Celestion product directly. You buy a product like an amplifier that has it inside. So, what was the first time you were aware that Celestion was, in fact, Celestion? That it was doing something good for your tone.

That’s a great question. First of all, yes. When I was a teenager, I bought a MarshalI, it was some kind of modern one, and I wasn’t hip to Celestion at the time. A couple of years later, I was extremely lucky that when we signed our first record deal, we had a little money. I had a mentor, thankfully, who helped me put my money where I should. Then I bought a vintage Marshall — a 1971 Super Lead. They had a corresponding tall cab that was a 4 x 12. It had original Greenback speakers inside from what I think was their first incarnation. It was an unbelievable sound.

That was the first time I was like, there are all these things that play a part in the sound of my guitar. The speaker is the thing that’s actually pushing the sound. I don’t think people realize how big an impact it has on the tone. Like, literally night and day if you switch speakers, how the same guitar, same pickups, and same amp sounds coming at you. So that’s the first time I realized how crucial the speaker was and that I favored that British sound.

What amp do you play through now and what speakers are inside it?

I have a larger stage rig that I don’t record with. That’s a Marshall JTM45 and I also have a Park amplifier. They’re both running, believe it or not, through a 1990s cab loaded with original G12T-75 speakers, which is what would have come stock in this kind of cabinet. I’m a fan of those speakers because I can play really loud, and use a fuzz pedal on occasion, and the speakers don’t fall apart. Things don’t fall inward, know what I mean? They hold their fidelity and sound tight. Whereas a 20-watt speaker would fall apart if driven like this.

What do you use in the studio?

This is the amp I use for smaller tours like solo work and also in the studio is my number one amp in the world. It’s a Marshall 1974x, which is a combo amp. But the thing that makes all the difference is that I put a Celestion Alnico Ruby in it, which is my favorite guitar speaker in the universe right now. It’s a 35-watt speaker that’s the bigger brother of the Blue. The sound of this speaker was a total game-changer for me. So much so that I stopped using pedals mostly. The sound of my Flying V [guitar] through that amp is the best thing I’ve ever heard. I’m able to dime the amp and the Ruby has a softer, more pleasing high end than, say, most of the ceramic-magnet speakers I’ve heard. You’re going to hear it all over Terra Firma.

Where else should we listen for Celestion in your music?

Hah, everywhere! But “Feeling Good,” the lead single from Sun Via, did really well. On that, I actually ran a Marshall through a 4 x 10 tweed Fender Bassman cabinet, in which I had four ten-inch Greenbacks. That is a m*****f***** of a tone.

I’ve always been a fan of Celestion speakers. I can’t remember one instance over the last 20 years I haven’t used them for anything I’ve done. Celestion is a huge part of my musical DNA.

You lived the rock ’n’ roll dream at a very young age and are still going strong. What advice would you have for your younger self?

I would tell myself to slow down in every aspect. Smell the roses and enjoy the journey a little more. It goes by so fast, and you don’t get any do-overs.

Celestion Debuts the Copperback Digital Dynamic Speaker Responses (DSRs)

Ipswich, UK (February 27, 2023) —Celestion, the celebrated manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers and professional audio drivers for sound reinforcement applications, is very pleased  to announce that the Celestion Copperback collection is available digitally as a   Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR,) the next-generation digital speaker responses that capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses for even greater tonal detail. The new Copperbacks join the extensive collection of Celestion DSRs designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained studio-grade DAW plug-in offering ground-breaking levels of detail and stunning guitar and bass speaker tones. The complete Celestion digital collections of IRs and DSRs, as well as the SpeakerMix Pro plug-in, are available for download at CelestionPlus.com.

The Celestion Copperback speaker was designed with a different tonal flavour in mind than other classic Celestion guitar speakers. The Copperback is more tonally transparent than others, and through this, reveals the sonic characteristics and detailed nuances of your amp and guitar playing without introducing a great deal of additional colouration that’s often generated by cone break-up.

The Copperback’s unique characteristics deliver a satisfying combination of tight lows, neutral low-mids, open upper-mid definition and well-controlled high treble, for the ultimate control over guitar tone — from shimmering, bell-like tones to almost flute-like high gain with a simple tweak of the amplifier’s drive setting. The design of the Copperback combines elements taken from Celestion classic guitar speakers which imbue superb musicality. To this is added key characteristics from Celestion’s range of professional audio speakers, such as a treated cambric surround, composite voice coil former, curved cone profile and a large paper dust cap that, all put together, enable the speaker to deliver superb transparency and evenness of response.

The unique and innovative Copperback has been faithfully captured in digital form as Dynamic Speaker Responses. Recorded by the company’s expert sound engineers using the same meticulous techniques as all of Celestion’s best-selling IRs & DSRs, the Copperback DSR was captured with three pro-quality studio microphones – the classic Shure SM57, a Royer R-121 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser MD421. Each of these mics were recorded in six different positions – named within the speaker response files as Balanced, Bright, fat, Thin, Dark and Dark 2 – as well as a rear mic position for the open back cabs.

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 V-Type is a modern speaker with 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 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 DSR.
