CELESTION G12H-150 Redback: Ford Thurston demos this speaker with an outstanding jazz tone

Celestion

collapse expand iconDescription

The Celestion G12H-150 Redback has been created for players who are looking for extreme power handling but refuse to compromise on great tone. Rated at a gargantuan 150-watts, the Redback is constructed with a supersized 2-inch voice coil and features the heaviest G12 magnet. The result is a guitar speaker that sounds 100% Celestion in character, yet is primed to withstand a pummelling from a 100-watt head all by itself, and still come back for more.

The Redback proves that you no longer need to choose between power and tone. With a tight, well-controlled low end, detailed midrange and more relaxed treble, Celestion’s engineering expertise has produced a truly high power guitar speaker that can still deliver balance, responsiveness and superb playability, with muscular ease.With lower power combos, expect tons of smooth, clean tone and don’t be afraid to plug in your favorite stomp box.

Thinking of downsizing your cabinet? Simply hook up a single Redback to your 100-watt head and generate giant slabs of frightening, monstrous tone.

      I have a Katana Artist amp that I never liked. Recently, I had the chance to run a speaker-out into 1x12 cab that had this Redback in it, and WOW! Sounded fantastic all of a sudden! So I ordered one for my Katana, and now the amp is killer!

      The speaker is well built. My favorite thing about this speaker is the clarity, tightness, great low end and no feedback as I have had with the Celestion 30s, Veterans, etc. The other speakers are still good speakers but they do not compare to these well built speakers.

    • Really great speaker

      Bought the celestion 150w red back to go into a mesa boogie 2×12 recto cabinet other speaker is a 75w cream back bought from musicians friend. Took original v 30's out of cabinet. What a difference sounded good originally, sounds Awesome now. Run a triple rectifier head through speakers. Highly recommended upgrade.
