4 Pack of Greenbacks
From Clapton’s defining ‘Bluesbreaker’ tone on All Your Love, to the sonic bombast of Hendrix’s Star Spangled Bannner at
Woodstock, as the blues gave birth to hard rock in the late-sixties, Celestion Greenbacks were the right tone at the right time.
Offering a higher power rating than alnico speakers, the original G12M with its ceramic magnet and responsive feel was a perfect
complement to players who were driving their amps harder and harder.
With a beautiful break-up as the natural sound collapsed into a glorious mid-range crunch with sweet low-end compression, the
G12M unlocked a new wave of saturated guitar tones that defined rock music for years to come.
While G12Ms found themselves in the majority of amps from 1966, players seeking even more volume sought out the G12H
‘heavy duty’ model, with its increased power rating and sensitivity delivering a noticeable jump in volume and a ‘tighter’ feel lending itself to harder rock styles.
Today, the Greenback ‘sound’ remains the benchmark by which all rock guitar speakers are measured.
The G12M Greenback has evolved over the decades but still retains its essential, sought-after tone.
Angus Young has been a Greenback devotee since the early days of AC/DC. This model is voiced with additional broad mid-range attack and restrained top-end to give a forward, punchy attitude to chords and a
searing lead tone without fizz.
With its well-controlled low-end it can be used singly in low-powered amps, or in multiples for high-power rock heads. It’s an ideal speaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps.
