Celestion V type 12' guitar speaker, demo by Pete Thorn

Celestion

collapse expand iconDescription

Combining decades of experience with advanced measurement and analysis, the V-Type has been built using a carefully balanced recipe of old andnew design techniques. It produces a heady, exciting modern vintage sound that just makes you want to keep on playing: a speaker that delivers authentic Celestion tone whatever your style.The V-type is a sweet sounding speaker with a superbly balanced tonal signature that imparts a vintage musicality to your tone. Clean sounds are true across the lows, mids and highs, with just enough upper-mid chime and HF sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, withplenty of mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead-note playing.

    Excellent vintage qualities. Highs not harsh, more rounded.

    Ordered 2 v-type speakers. One had a defective voice coil/wiring around/to voice coil and went out in the first hour with only 60 watts going into on the clean channel of my Sovtek Mig 60 tube head. I like to break in speakers separately in an extra 1x12 extension cab that i have. Musiciansfriend sent me a new one after i explained the situation and were just as surprised as me about the factory defect Anyways, i got the two v-types are broken in and installed the speakers in the top of my Acoustic brand 4x12 model 105 cabinet. Loaded two V30/vintage 30 speakers in the bottom of the cab. (V30s were pulled from a 2000s Laney tt412 cab, and they have the "made in England" label on the magnets) They sound great together! I wanted something to go with my 4x12 loaded with 1984 g65's 65 watt original heritage series speakers that were pulled from an old marshall lead cab. My two 4x12 sound great together/separately now. Loving it. Good sounds for a low price 😉

  • Excellent All Around!

    Sweet toned speaker with cool breakup I think not too much of anything so would work in any amp. Used in all the high end Fenders for its chime and crunch.
