GUITAR AND BASS LOUDSPEAKERS The Voice of Rock & Roll
“ PARTNERS IN TONE BILLY CORGAN “On every stage I’ve ever walked on, in every studio I’ve ever worked in, there’s only been one speaker of choice to get THAT sound.
GUITAR & BASS LOUDSPEAKERS Ever since Vox slotted Celestion’s T.530—a “beefed-up” G12 general purpose radio speaker— into the AC15, and rock n’ roll jangled its way into Britain’s hearts back in the late 50s, the yin of amplifier power and the yang of sweet guitar speaker tone have been locked in constant battle. We’re lucky though. Make a magnet bigger and you can change the tonal balance of a speaker as well as boosting its power rating.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE BRIAN MAY “Nothing else sounds like a Celestion Blue.” ALNICO From the 60s to the present day, the unmistakable sound of the Celestion Alnico magnet guitar speaker with its trademark laid back attack continues to shape popular music. Back then, we answered the call from our friends at Vox and Marshall for a dedicated guitar loudspeaker which became the now-famous ‘Blue’.
BLUE 12" 305mm CREAM 13/4" Voice Coil 15 Watts 8/15 Ohm 100 dB 12" 305mm 13/4" Voice Coil 90 Watts 8/16 Ohm 100 dB The legendary Blue is widely acknowledged as the benchmark for guitar speaker perfection. Noted for its high-frequency brilliance and sparkle, the upper mids sing, the low mids are slightly scooped and the bass perfectly rounded. It’s a speaker that evokes rich definition, developing a beautiful, musical compression when pushed.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE TONY IOMMI “Celestion is the voice of rock. Always has been. Always will be.” GREENBACK As the blues gave birth to hard rock, Celestion Greenbacks proved to be the right tone at the right time. Offering a higher power rating than Alnico speakers, the G12M and G12H with its ceramic magnet and responsive feel was a perfect complement to players who were driving their amps harder and harder.
G12H ANNIVERSARY 12" 305mm 13/4" Voice Coil 30 Watts 8/16 Ohm G10 GREENBACK 100 dB With a strong, aggressive low-end and powerful low-mids, the G12H penetrates any mix with an attacking upper mid-range and an icecool top-end. Used singly or in quartets it provides serious attitude and swagger to soft amp tones, easily cutting through loud stage levels for chord work, and imparting a hard edge to single notes.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE JOE PERRY “They are beyond the mechanical fact that they are speakers. They’re iconic and the name Celestion literally puts you in another zone... they always have for me.” CREAMBACK The ever-popular Greenback is the undisputed reference point for sweet, harmonically rich tone and also for the way in which the output of an amplifier should be articulated as it tips from clean to crunch and through to fully-saturated overdrive.
G12H-75 CREAMBACK 12" 305mm 13/4" Voice Coil 75 Watts 8/16 Ohm NEO CREAMBACK 12" 100 dB The G12H-75 Creamback provides 75-watts of power handling and unmistakable 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, thickening single notes for a highly articulate, vocal character.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE SLASH “I’ve been using Celestion Vintage 30 speakers my whole career and can’t imagine using anything else.” FOREVER CELESTION As the blues-infused 70s gave way to the harder rocking 80s, the only thing higher than the guitar amp gain was the hairstyles. And so a new range of speakers evolved, capable of articulating the complex, overdriven sounds and blistering lead lines of the time, with the ability to handle increasingly high amplifier outputs.
G12-65 12" 305mm 13/4" Voice Coil CLASSIC LEAD 80 65 Watts 8/15 Ohm 97 dB With its fast attack and tightly controlled low-end, the G12-65 became a firm favourite with hard rock players by the early 80s, particularly in 4x12s. And still today, the precisely tuned midrange 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.
PARTNERS IN TONE JOE SATRIANI plays G12T-75 POWER AND TONE Fashions in guitar amplification are constantly evolving. The current desire for increased portability calls for loudspeakers that deliver greater power handling or reduced weight, and sometimes both. But it’s reassuring to know that whatever the size of your cab or the output of your amp, you’ll never have to choose between power and tone.
G12T-75 12" 305mm 13/4" Voice Coil G12K-100 75 Watts 8/16 Ohm 97 dB Featured in the world’s top selling 4x12 cabinet, the G12T-75 combines a huge, tightly controlled low-end and aggressive midrange with a softened top-end that adds a welcome sweetness to overdrive, distortion and aggressive upper harmonics. A high powered rock player’s dream come true.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE RICHARD FORTUS “Celestion is as integral a part of my sound as my guitars and amps and I won’t play anything but the best!” ACCESS ALL AREAS For ambitious players looking for bold, original tones to break new sonic ground, these innovative speakers look to the future, providing new tonal flavours for guitarists seeking out their signature sound.
VT JUNIOR 10" 254mm 13/4" Voice Coil V-TYPE 50 Watts 8/16 Ohm 95 dB Delivering the same balance and musicality as its big brother the V-Type, the VT junior brings all the speed and response you’d expect from a 10, along with an additional low mid punch and high end sparkle.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE WAYNE SERMON “With all the different amp and cab sizes I use, Celestion always has a speaker that does what I need it to do.” ORIGINALS As the original name in guitar loudspeakers, we’re dedicated to delivering great tone regardless of genre, playing style or budget. Nobody knows more than us about designing and manufacturing guitar speakers and the Celestion Originals are proof of that.
TEN 30 10" 254mm 11/4" Voice Coil EIGHT 15 30 Watts 8/16 Ohm 95 dB Rich and expressive, the Ten 30 combines warm lows with a vocal mid-range and an articulate top end. The clean sound is open and revealing; push hard and you’re rewarded with full-blooded Celestion grind.
“ PARTNERS IN TONE JEFF STINCO “The IRs are absolutely stunning. I now use them live on all my sounds.” IMPULSE RESPONSES Authentic Celestion Tones in Digital Format Nobody knows more about guitar speaker tone than Celestion. So who better than Celestion to bring you stunning combinations of speakers, microphones and their placements in a range of Impulse Response digital downloads.
