CELESTIONV-Type 8 ohm Guitar Speaker

The DSL20CR comes with a Seventy/80. It's ok, but for me it's too gritty in the top end.I lobe the G12T-75's in my Marshall 1960A cab, so I decided to replace the 70/80 with a G12T. Unfortunately, it didn't suit the cab - I kept having to fiddle with the tone controls, and couldn't get the upper-mid "shrill" dialed out.So I did some research on the V-Type, and found a lot of good tones and information about it. It's supposed to be balanced mix of a bunch of old and new popular Celestion speakers, but with a bit of midrange clarity for solos. Well, that's exactly what you get: a full, balanced sound throughout the range, but with a bump in the mids, at just the perfect frequency are to make solos stand out. It's very clear., and because of that, the only thing I needed to do after installing in in my DSL20CR, is lower the mids from 12:00 to 10:00, and that's plenty of mids. You will also be able to keep the Presence at 0. Otherwise, it takes the DSL into JCM 800 territory. I LOVE this speaker, and may add a couple to my 1960A cab.If you're after the MESA rectifier stock Vintage 30 scooped mids sound, this probably isn't a good choice for you, but if you love your Recto but just wish it had more "Marshall mids", then I'd give this speaker a try.Made my DSL20CR sound just right. Highly recommended!

I have a Fender Deluxe Reverb Limited edition "Chocolate Brownie" amp that came with a special Alnico "vintage" 12" speaker (smaller magnet) instead of the Jensen speaker they put in the black face models. I had done a side by side of the two amps/speakers prior to purchasing a four years ago. The Chocolate Brownie with the Alnico was a better option from the factory at that time. Just recently I was having my guitars worked on at the Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta, as they have a top flight repair and maintenance team. I happened to test each guitar from a silver face Deluxe Reverb just by chance as it was close to mine. The sound out of the the silver face was materially different than mine. I looked in the back to find this Celestion 12 inch V Type 70 from the factory. I did some research and decided to buy one and replace the factory speaker. WOW!!! worth the money in every measurement. Lows, mids, highs are terrific and more rounded at any volume than the special edition factory speaker. With any volume at all the amp comes to life. The speaker sounds authentic to Fender purists and is punchier than the factory speaker. I have an original '65 Super Reverb still with factory speakers and I just thought the Deluxe 12" was muddier due to the size. Not so once the Celestion was installed. The pros and cons are the V type can handle more power. I have JJ 6L6s installed and it takes all they can give it with a predictable break up. The down side is it takes a bit more power to get the amp and speaker to get to that vintage distortion and crunch, but by just a bit. The amp's tube reverb and vibrato functions sounds more alive, along with all pedals. I could NOT be happier.

I have a Marshall Origin 2x12 cab that came with Celestion 70/80s. The 70/80s were a bit harsh and brittle for my liking, and I saw some videos of these v-type speakers and decided to give them a try. First, I a/b'd a single 70/80 against this speaker, and the v-type sounded fuller and just all around better. Like, really good tone for both cleans and gain. I ended up keeping one 70/80 and one v-type in the cab, and think they complement each other well. I'm blown away by the quality of sound these speakers provide, especially for the price, and certainly worth trying to improve your tone before shelling out crazy $$ for creambacks, alnico blue or gold, etc. Highly recommend. 👍

I listened to many speakers. Some cost three times as much as the v-type, there is no reason for me to spend anymore than the 93$ I paid for this speaker. I put it in a 2 x 12 seismic Luke C sealed (i bought here on amazon) cabinet with a seventy 80 that I bought used for 35$ and they work great together. I have a Fender Super Champ SC112 80-watt 1x12" cabinet that came with a celestion seventy 80. It was way too bright for me. I play Epiphone Les paul and SG for the warm sound. But this speaker was way too bright as it was. But once I paired it with the V-type in the seismic cabinet, I was really impressed. Perfect sound for my ears. V-type plus a seventy 80 in a seismic 2 x 12 for for just over $300 I got the perfect cabinet for me.

I put this in a Marshall dsl40c. It came with a Creamback in it, but it sounded just a tad bit heavy in the lower frequencies. I have a fender 68drri that came with the v-type, so I plugged the Marshall into it just to see what it would sound like. It was perfect! These speakers are less expensive, probably because of the lighter weight magnet, but they might just be my favorite speaker ever. I made an extension cab for the Creamback and they sound like they were made for each other.

Celestions sound amazing paired with humbuckers. Replaced my Eminence speakers with the V-types. Huge upgrade when used in a Bugera amp.Although Amazon said they handed the package "directly to a resident" in the delivery notes, when it was sitting on my porch. Guess someone is trying to cover their own ass in case it is stolen off the porch. Accurate delivery notes would be appreciated.Great speakers, as usual. Questionable delivery.

I ordered one of these to replace the stock HH speaker in my Laney Cub12R which was thin and sterile sounding. The V-Type really brought it to life. It seems they incorporated the best features from each of their top sellers and came up with a great all-purpose driver. It's responsive across the entire frequency range and doesn't focus on any one in particular. Tight bottom, smooth mids and a chimey top end. Breakup starts at about 4 on the volume. Push it harder and it's got bark and grind but stays smooth and never gets frazzy. At least that's how it performs in my Laney. YMMV.

Best speaker I’ve ever had. I loved vintage 30s but I think this is gonna be my go too now. Vintage 30 is great but too muddy while this can do it all! Sounds great in my laney cub12 combo tube amplifier!

Por varios meses estuve “cazando” esta bocina ya que, en México, por alguna razón los distribuidores de celestion la tenían agotada. Llegué al punto en que casi me decidía por una 70/80 de la misma marca, ya que esas bocinas tiene mi 4x12 Marshall y, después de ya varios años de uso, suenan bastante bien por el precio.Finalmente encontré esta bocina aquí en amazon y me da gusto no haber escogido la 70/80.La estoy utilizando en un cajón de 1x12 y definitivamente el rango de esta bocina, así como su potencia, hacen parecer que fuera un 2x12. El sonido es excelente para los géneros que toco (rock, blues y un poco de heavy) y con la practicidad de ser 1x12.

Great speaker! To my ears it sounds like a Classic 30 but not quite as harsh in the upper midst. Good breakup at higher volumes, but never "ratty" sounding. Nice and smooth with a definite mid bump. It sounds decent clean, but that is not really where it shines. I have it paired with a late 80's Marshall Jubilee and it's like they were made for each other. Construction looks solid. Overall, I'm very pleased and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a classic 70's-80's sounding rock speaker.

nice tone, well engineered speaker...takes all of the 50w of my quilter amp with ease, will sound better after the break in...

Compré esta bocina hace ya varios meses y hasta el momento no he tendo problema alguno. En mi caso particular me vi limitado a comprar esta debido a que fue la única que encontré de 8 Ohms marca Celestion que pudiese ser importada hasta México.A comparación de la bocina que viene por default en un Marshall MG100FX, esta tiene mayor perfil de bajos.En mi caso, la bocina llegó a tiempo (desde Canada) e inclusive me reembolsaron parte de los gastos de envio al final.
