Celestion Vintage 30 - 8 Ohm 4-stars Reviews

A true classic

Is your guitar sound a bit dull and are you having trouble cutting through the mix? When I replaced the no-name speakers in one of my cabinets with these babies it really opened up the sound. Instead of cranking to be able to cut through I can keep my amp on a more moderate level. Good for most genres.

Not for everyone

Well the Vintage 30 seems to be one of the most generic speakers on the market today.

When I bought it planned to have it installed in either a Suhr 1x12, or to replace my Celestion Greenback in my Zilla 2x12.

So far I have tried it in the Suhr cab and I didn´t really like it. The sound is ok, but compared to the 2x12 (with a G12-H30 and a Greenback), it was much harder and squeky. It also have a really uncomftortable harmonic that tends to feedback from the speaker while muting your strings. I don´t know if this is something that will go away when it is properly broken in, but that remains to be heard.

Other then that it seems to be a well built speaker, and time will tell if it is a keeper.
