Celestion T5890 G12H-75 12-inch Creamback Guitar Speaker H-Type Heavy Magnet 75 Watts - 8 ohm

Wow. That’s all I can say. I put 2 of these in my 1974 twin reverb amp. I didn’t think a twin could get better than it already was; man, I was wrong. Such good response from bass all the way up to the highs. The niobium magnets make the twin MUCH easier to transport. I no longer need a forklift to move my amp around, lol.

If you have a Line6 amp and don't like the sound that much, this is a really good upgrade. My Spider Jam had a harsh treble and mushy bass depending on the preset. I got really tired of the jangly highs. The Creamback tightened up the bottom end really nice. At higher volumes you can get a deep solid sound. I haven't turned up loud enough to get the roar yet, but I it's there. The harsh high notes have become really defined and smooth. The speaker takes about five minutes to install. It takes time to break in. You will notice the sound change after about eight hours of playing. The amp is a totally different amp now. I'm loving it. All the presets are better now than before. Shipping was slow from NY because of the holidays. Update: After about fifty hours, the amp is really sounding great. The bottom end roar is really pronounced. The highs now shimmer like a tube amp. Replace your speaker with this one if you have a Line6 amp. You will be amazed.

Last year I got a great deal on a Monoprice 1x12 cab which came with a Vintage 30 which was okay but didn't really do my amp, a Suhr PT15 IR justice. It sounded a little raspy with harsh highs. The companion cab that Suhr sells with the PT15 has a G12H-75 Creamback and it's the one that Pete Thorn (the PT in PT15) recommends. I figure John (Suhr) and Pete know what they're doing so buying this speaker would be low risk. I am pleased to report that this was indeed the case. My PT15 sounds so much better with this speaker. I played it with the V30 for reference before swapping it out and when I plugged in and gave the creamback a go the difference was immediate and obvious. It sounds so much smoother than the V30 and not at all harsh. It seems like it has more bass response and the highs aren't harsh. In short, it simply sounds better and that's all that matters to me. This is a great speaker and I wish I hadn't waited so long to get it.

With this replacement I can finally say I absolutely love my amp, its tone is beautiful, price for what you’re getting is insane, dropped right in easy to install, compatible with all 12 inch amps fits like a glove, only turned it up half way and it sounded just as good as if it were in low

I just got the delivery of Celestion Creamback speaker. It is OBVIOUSLY a used speaker. I could have ordered a used one for less money. I am not happy at all

Excellent tone quality. Magnet is larger than the original in my cabinet, but it provides a much better sound.

I’ve spent almost $2000 on different celestian speakers to find “that tone”… vintage 30’s (yuck!!!), greenbacks, G12T75’s, and other creambacks. I have this paired with a G12M65 now in a 2x12 and the sound is simply stellar! I replaced a NEO creamback that I just wasn’t that impressed with with this. If you’re looking for those beautiful creamy rock/blues tones of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, look no further. I play a lot of Joe Satriani, Vai, Rush, Zeppelin (prog-rock and guitar virtuoso oriented mostly) type of music and these babies definitely fit the bill. A lot of people compare these to V30’s, but these are WAY better with a tamer top end, and a very refined midrange. A very beautiful sounding speaker. PS, this baby takes a LONG time to break in… and the sound difference between out of the box and broken in was drastic. It seriously sounded like a tin can when I first hooked it up, but after about 24 hours of playing (took me about 5-6 days), it’s just pure bliss! Buy one, give it time to break in, and you’ll love it!

My Fender DRRI came with a Jensen Alnico Blue P12q which when coupled with the amp produced clear mids and high mids, recessed low mids, boomy bottom, and harshness in the 3k and 6k frequency. I replaced the Jensen with a celestian g12H 75 creamback (8 ohm version) and presently the amp in the normal channel has a tight bottom end, good low mids or warmth and body, much less harshness in the 3k and 6k frequencies, and a fairly neutral top end. It however has less clarity in the mids and high mids probably due to the increase in 200-400hz frequencies which on the upside gives fullness, body, and warmth to the overall tone. I am happy with less mid and high mid clarity if it means reducing the 3k and 5-6k harshness, but some may not like that or more specifically some may prefer the chime and sound of the DRRI with a Jensen speaker for that vintage fender tone. Context is everything so YMMV.
