The best of Celestion's guitar speakers are available to customise the sound of your Barefaced AVD cab. Add your cab to the cart on the relevant product page and then add the speaker here. The price you see here is the cost we charge to replace the stock Vintage 30 with this custom driver.

If you're ordering a 2x12" or two 1x12" cabs, don't forget to add two drivers! If you only want one custom driver and one stock driver in a 2x12" or two different custom drivers, please email us to explain where to put each driver (top or bottom, left or right). We'll fit the impedance stated in your cab order. Email us if you're confused!

Celestion G12H-75 Creamback

Back in the late 60s, the G12H was created by fixing an 'H' type (heavy) magnet to the body of a G12M guitar speaker. Result: a speaker with more power and a different tonal balance: firmer bass and a more pronounced top end. So we added an 'H' magnet to the G12M-65 Creamback, to create a guitar speaker that delivers the sonic signature of a G12H combined with Creamback levels of power handling. The result is the G12H-75 Creamback. It delivers 75 watts of power handling with ease and has unmistakeable G12H tone, with a tighter low end than the G12M-65 Creamback and a punchier, more dynamic high end. The H magnet brings additional focus, body and girth to the Creamback tone. It thickens single notes, resulting in a highly articulate, vocal character. These additional characteristics mean that the G12H-75 Creamback offers exceptional performance when used for lead guitar and sounds massive loaded into a 4x12 cab!

Hi Alex,

Guitar-wise I'm pretty much of a Les Paul player (Blues, Classic Rock, Funk, Fusion), as far as amps/cabinets are concerned I've got a Bluguitar Amp1 along with a Bluguitar FatCab

I’ve installed a Celestion G12-75H Creamback in the AVD cab, as I had this driver from a former project. So far, I’m pretty happy with the new cab.

Comparing it to the Bluguitar Fat Cab with their proprietary driver, which is based on a Celestion G12M Greenback capable to handle 60W, showed these results:

Fat cab with Deeflexx and AVD cab show the same amount of dispersion, i. e. even standing right beside the cab the sound almost doesn’t change at all
Both cabs sound fairly similar, Fat cab got a little bit more low end
AVD cab and Deeflexx do not go together well, in this case low end and low mids seem to be attenuated resulting in a somewhat unpleasant sound

Fun fact: When I watched your YT videos comparing Celestion drivers, I didn’t like the Creamback very much, actually I gravitated towards the G12T-75. However, in combination with my amp, I’m pretty happy with the sound, seems like Creamback and Marshall like amps are a perfect match.

I’m also thinking about getting one of your bass cabs, I might address you for that matter again in a couple of weeks.

Best regards,

Georg

Hi Georg,

That's very interesting, thanks!

With tonal stuff a lot of it is about matching guitar, amp, and speaker+cab to the player and their sonic goals. Sounds like you've found a good combination for your stuff but I wouldn't say Creamback + Marshall is perfect for everyone, in fact the Creamback M65 sounds v different to the H75. Specifics matter! ;-)

Best regards,

Alex
