Celestion G12H-150 Redback 8 Ohm

Initially I purchased this speaker as a replacement for a K100 speaker, which blew up. Initially I was blown away by how full and balanced this speaker sounds. I find V30s overly harsh in the high mids, Creambacks overly saturated in the low mids and K100s lacking in definition. The Redback speaker seems to combine the best of all three. Monsterously fat tone that is suited for any style, from twangy cleans to crushing high gain. The 150w power rating also allows this speaker to be used as a single speaker with pretty much any amp.

Don’t want to sound like all those green backers!

I have been fighting with shrill and buzzy distorsions from my amp for years now. This speaker is perfect match for my JCM800 2203, now it sounds bright, tight, with just enough bottom but not shrill at top end. It had always been a bad speaker that was messing up my sound. Tried lots of popular speakers and have never been even closely satisfied (v30(horrible), classic lead, celestion wolverine, HH-custom and so on) Only alternative that I would look at is G12-65 (it was found in old marshall cabs and it was a big factor in the sound that made them famous). Highly recommended.

I bought this to use in a home made cab to use with an orange amp. I now use it as my go to transportable cab. Its got a very high wattage so it can take anything that you plugg in. The nest thing about this speaker is that it still has the characteristics of this range of celestion speakers green back tupe sounding bit with massive power handling.

Really one of the best, i replaced a very old 12" fender Special with this after having a redback before in a 5150 Iconic combo i didnt hesitate with this purchase. Put this into a fender Stage 112SE, its a completely new amp now for me, for full sonic attack the amp pushes hard from 3 but that may differ for alternative amps, but definitely needs driven, but isn't shy when played at lower level's. cannot recommend this driver any higher.
