Celestion Vintage 30 Guitar Speaker, 8 Ohm

I have a 4x12 with seventy 80's and I made a 2x12 with these V30's. If I set the 2x12 on the floor it sounds awesome. I've been using it more than the 4x12. I'm in the process fitting it with these V30's also, that should be even better. Oh and yea, these speakers amazing. They sound better as they break in.

Great upgrade for any guitar amp!

Part 1 of 2 replacement speakers in a Marshall 2x12 cabinet. The other is a G12 65M Creamback. Great warm sound that's not muddy when combined together.

It's a Vintage 30! So other than the fact it's a great speaker that so many go to (including me) when the need arises, as it did this time for me, what really floored me about the particular one I received was that it was made in the UK! The last couple of them I had purchased were made in China (not that they seemed to be inferior to my ear), but this one is clearly marked as made in UK. The box said it and the speaker did too. Yea UK!!!

I replaced the stock speaker in my Marshall DSL40C with the Vintage 30. It is not even close to being broken in but let me say WOW! I have a Schecter with active EMG's in it and it sounded pretty good even with the stock speaker in it. I bought an ESP with Seymour Duncan passive pickups on it and no matter the adjustments to the amp or pedal board it always sounded muddy in the bottom end. I paid a lot of money for that ESP and was fit to be tied. I was thinking about switching out the Duncan's with something else but I kept thinking, this is an ESP guitar built by hand in Japan. Not an LTD from S. Korea and these are the king of kings when it comes to Metal so I better do some research first. I found an article online which stated that upgrading the speaker in your amp is probably the first step to take if you have a quality guitar, a good tube amp but it doesn't sound right. It went on to say that in most cases people replace the pups which are not cheap to buy 2 high quality humbuckers. If you can't replace them yourself be prepared to let it sit at a Tech's shop for a couple of weeks and pay them even more money. In most cases this still doesn't do the trick. I'm glad I read this article first and replaced the speaker with one of the best ever, a Vintage 30 because now my ESP sounds like a guitar of it's caliber. Mud no more! Sounds great and it only took me about 10-15 minutes from start to finish to swap out the speakers. Do not hesitate to buy these speakers because they will not disappoint. No disrespect to the ESP LTD series either, they are great guitars as well.

Blew out my speaker in my Orange 2x12 and purchased this as a replacement. Sounds great!

Perfect go my Marshall dsl 40 cr

I finally decided to buy one these to mix into a 212 cabinet with another Celestion g12h. It really blends nicely, the g12h is kinda harsh somewhat and this V30 really makes it growl just as I wanted it to.Here’s my first thoughts and recommendations for someone thats has purchased this speaker or any new speaker. Mount it in your cabinet and play it, at first speakers will always sound thick and heavy sounding. So by playing through it more and more over time like say a few hundred hours you will hear a huge difference in sound because the speaker has to wear in so to say. Right out of the box is no way to judge your speakers properly until you have literally played them with everything you got. Take some time and listen how its responding and soon you’ll be so happy when one day you turn it on and think Wow its finally done. Your guitar will roar and cause that speaker to do things like never before.This speaker is great for any type of music when you just have to make adjustments on your amplifier and guitar.I highly recommend anyone who wants to have something nice to add to their equipment then get one or however many you’re gonna need to achieve your desired sound. Good luckPlay It Loud
