Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.

Review: Very nice speaker - 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 desertcart) 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.
Review: Sound great, great price - 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. 👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a gem of a speaker
*by J***N on August 2, 2019*

It is a greenback and a v30 combined in the best ways possible. It's got girth, it can soar for leads, but it cleans up to be chimey yet warm. and for this price??? It's ridiculous. It is one of Celestion's best speakers. I got this speaker because I play both English and American amps, and the Greenback blood in this makes it compatible with almost anything. Get it. you won't be disappointed.
