Celestion Greenback 12" Guitar Speaker
This speaker, with its distinctive green magnet cover, shaped the sound of British Rock in the 70s. Responds wonderfully to the guitarist's playing dynamics. Warm, woody sound, with enough brightness and punch to cut through the rest of the band. The definitive Blues and Blues Rock speaker.
Celestion’s first guitar loudspeaker featuring a ceramic magnet structure, the G12M ‘Greenback’ presented almost as much magnetic flux to the voice coil as an Alnico formulation, but in a much more compact space. As a result the Greenback became the guitar loudspeaker that paved the way for use with higher power amplifiers. And, of course, the ceramic magnet presented its own unique tonal characteristics.
The Greenback has a loud and assertive character that sounds great through a valve amp pushed into overdrive. The speaker has evolved over the decades and still presents that instantly familiar woody tone, delivered with a knockout punch.
