Celestion G12T-75 8 Ohm

Going for Frusciante tone

Hi! First off, just to make things clear, this is the first speaker i have ever bought seperately, but i know the sound i'm looking for, and also have i played thorugh many amps in my life.

*Sidenote, i'm using a stratocaster.

In my valve amp, sound is so great, literally- luscious, running it through the dirty channel with low gain. Has a very clear high end and overall really pleasing tone. Not too bright or too bassy.

So, my ''guitar'' guy, recently built a couple of combo amps without speakers in them (great thing that its built so simple you can just choose the speaker you want and replace it anytime) to sell for his close friends and customers. -I tried it with 2 different Fender speakers- the sound was just too bright for me. And for my surprise Vintage 30 also wasn't what i was looking for, but G12T was the perfect match as soon as i tired it. I guess you could call it's sound a little bit more 'modern', but only in a sense that lots of people are being told to look for the mysterious ''warm vintage tone'.

I love it

Good speaker

I am using it in an old Marshall cabinet. I already have a vintage 30 in a DIY cabinet I made myself, and if I connect them both into my Carvin tube amp the sound is excellent. The vintage 30 is on the floor, and the Marshall cabinet with this speaker is above it as in a full-stack. Some people complain that it is too aggressive and mid-rangy and works only for metal an such. Guess what, in this combination I can play folk-rock in it and sounds excellent. What is true the Carvin V3M is a really versatile amp, so I guess it depends highly on the amp too. But is adds a nice beef to the Vintage 30's more bassy type of sound.
