Speakers can only be purchased as an upgrade to a cabinet and are not sold separately.

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 A-Type

Celestion says: "Celestion guitar speakers have been an important part of British guitar tone since the birth of Rock & Roll. Traditionally, they’re known for lively and vocal midrange character with plenty of sparkle and chime, which turns into an exciting growl when overdriven, often compressing when pushed hard. Inspired by our favourite modern American tones, the A-Type is a different kind of guitar speaker from Celestion. Of course, it still has the musical and revealing three- dimensional quality that is the heart and soul of a Celestion guitar speaker, however it features a more laid-back midrange which reveals body and complexity in the upper register, accompanied by full and rounded low frequencies. The A-Type conveys a fluid, even performance with an increased headroom threshold that allows your amp’s tone to shine through. Clean players will love the smooth articulation; for rockers the brooding, powerful low end threatens thunder that’s only a heavy riff away!"

Customer feedback

23/11/22 - Radical 212H (A-Type) Switzerland

After half a year with my Radical 212 I want to give you a short feedback.

First of all: I'm overall very happy with the cabinet. The sound dispersion is very good and a big advantage on stage! I even like it with my Blackface Bassman and the bass roll of disabled: The Low End just sounds great, especially when toe cabinet is some meters away from a wall. First I used it more often with the filter on, but on tour I realised when the cab is on stage far away from the way with full bass just sounds heavy and great.

First I ordered the cab with Celestion G12H-75 Creambacks, after some rehersals I swapped them for A-Types, becaus they sound sound better on the Bassman. Swapping was easy, no problem there.
