Put a Vintage 30 in Your Cab

NOTE: Speakers are non-returnable.

The Celestion Vintage 30 guitar speaker sounds amazing. If you're going to replace a speaker in your combo amp or cabinet, you want to be blown away. The Vintage 30 handily does that. Easily twice as loud as other speakers at the same power level, the Vintage 30 handles gargantuan overdrive with aplomb. Punchy lows, meaty mids, and a creamy, harmonically-rich high end make the Vintage 30 an excellent choice for your 4 x 12" cab, but it's also great in one- or two-twelve configurations. Put a killer speaker in your guitar cab - the Celestion Vintage 30.

There's science behind great sound

In the development of the Vintage 30, Celestion used Laser Doppler Interferometry to analyze the cone behaviour of an original Celestion Blue. They then formed a precise model of the vintage speaker's characteristics and applied it to the design of a new speaker using modern materials for greater power handling. Celestion determined that their H magnet came closest in performance to Alnico. This magnet was then combined with a new cone and coil assembly employing contemporary materials with similar mass and physical properties to the originals, only better suited to handling the additional heat generated by higher power amplification. If you want the vibe of a classic guitar speaker, but with modern robustness, you want the Celestion Vintage 30.

I knew what I was getting

I had experience with a Mesa amp loaded with Vintage 30's before. I wanted that tonal character for a different Mesa amp. Then I replaced that with an Orange head and it's fantastic. I like a the punch, the detail, and EQ of these speakers. Especially in an open back cabinet.

Fender Hot Rod dream speaker

These are an absolute must replacement for any Hot Rod Deluxe
I put these two n my 2x12 Deville and it was like I removed a wet blanket from my amp

V30's

An awesome upgrade.
Replaced two g12t 75 speakers in my cab.
And the difference is remarkable.
So loud they shake the floor.
Less mushy sounding, and with tighter response.
With Seeetwater's exceptional service from my sales engineer Lindsie Becker made for yet another excellent sales experience.

Boss Katana replacement.

I now see what the fuss is about with vintage 30s, and why there In Everything. They make it sound like I'm a better guitar player. I was unhappy with the katana until I switched speakers. Now I love it.
