27 Celestion Guitar Speakers Comparison - Shootout

In this clip I compare 27 Celestion 12 inch guitar speakers. I'm using a 2013 Gibson Les Paul SG Custom Shop Aged and a 1982 Marshall JCM800 4104. The Speakers are all mounted in the same Cabinet, an all ply Marshall JCM800 1933 1x12 closed back. It was recorded using two 1960s BeyerDynamic M160 Ribbon Microphones. The soundinterface is an Apogee Duet and the DAW is an Ipad with Cubasis. The 4104 JCM800 Amp settings are: preamp 2, master 1, bass 2.5, treble 6, mid 10, prescense 7, high input jack. I'm going for a typical seventies hard rock tone a la Jimmy Page.
Recorded dry at low volume. Thus it can be argued that speaker distortion necessary to bring out the character of the different may not develop, especially for the higher watt models. I do however believe that this test gives a fair estimate on how the speaker relate to each other.
The purpose is to identify the differences between the speakers. As a result I keep the room mic lower than I otherwise would have to avoid reverberation lower mids that mask the sound. This makes it less warm too however. Usually I would have used some compression to give it some body even at lower playback volumes.
The speakers are:
1. 1983 G12H-100 1:06
2. 2013 G12K-100 1:39
3. 1973 G12H-30 55Hz T1281, Pulsonic 1:57

5. 1971 G12H-30 55Hz T1281, Pulsonic (May be Pre Rola) 3:24
6. 1976 G12H-30 55Hz T1281, Kurt Mueller, "Black Back” 3:58
7. 1970 G12M-25 75Hz T1221, Pulsonic, Pre Rola 4:55
8. 1995 G12M-25 75Hz Reissue 6:01
9. 1980 G12-65, 1777 7:13
10. 2014 G12-65 Heritage 7:48
11. 1982 G12-65, 1777 8:23

13. 1974 G12H-30 75Hz, Pulsonic, “GreyBack” 10:07
14. 1978 G12-80, 1777 10:41
15. 2014 Classic Lead 80 (G12-80), 1777 11:14
16. 1993 G12-80, 1777 12:11
17. 1965 AlNiCo Silver B025 12:43
18. 1988 Vintage 30, 444 13:40
19. 2013 Vintage 30, 444 14:14
20. 1989 G12M-70 15:07
21. 1987 G12T-75 15:42
22. 2010 G12T-75 16:14
23. 1999 G12T-75 16:49
24. 1979 G12-125 17:22
25. 1991 G12B-150 17:56

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! Hidden in plain sight :-)

[@Schlumpf.Meister]

I have come back to this video again and again with regard to speaker selection. This is the best video ever made on the topic. Also the tasty playing and Göteborg images. Thanks Johan.

[@Theonlymoog]

Johan, your videos set the bar for what all KZbinrs need to strive for. Incredible musical talent aside, I can't imagine the work that goes into recording, let alone editing - it has to be hours of work and recording for each minute of posted content. You cover all the bases, and cut to the heart of how great tone is achieved. Huge thank you, from NB Canada!

[@JohanSegeborn]

+Theonlymoog Thanks, I'm so glad to hear that! Cheers Johan

[@HalgrayHemlock]

Clicked on the vid for the speaker comparison, stayed for the music. Honestly, after few minutes in I forgot there's a speaker comparison video running, nice tune mate!

Every time I’m looking for an amp demo, a shootout, a comparison, or just something cool to watch, I find it on your channel. Your awesome!

[@Ruynu]

Wow! This may be the most time intensive video production on KZbin. I can't imagine how many hours went into creating this comparison. Setup alone would be intense. Your love of gear and playing make you a joy to watch! Yours is a channel I look forward to watching.

Seriously, Johan, this must have taken months to film and complete. Thank you so much for your videos! It's like you took all the crazy questions that we were all quietly asking in our own heads and then blew them out a 100-watt Super lead! Keep it up and sell us some merch already!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks :-)

[@Jamsdh1]

All great speakers, but it is so hard to get past those classic mids that the v30 gives us. It is the sound rock and roll was made on!! Great video man, thank you for all your hard work for our enjoyment.

You got a like from me! Great comparison and wow, what a lot of work:)

Good choice, man. Cheers!

[@flyxator]

tockusa would have done the same, sounds brilliant... "black black" all the way! the 1971 G12H-30 75hz "Pre Rola" was lovely too as was the alnico 65, but anything pre 80s sounded lovely to my ear... Thanx to Johan for this amazing video! Have to watch it again. Many thanx! Great playing and tune aswell... (listened with Chartwell LS3/5a)

Hey man, awesome video, really great. I'm a metal guy and I can say that this vid helped me out a lot, thank you. :) I favour the early 70ies H-30 Pulsonic and H-30 Heritage, they are the most awesome speakers I've ever heard but the others were great too. :) Thank you man, great performance. :)

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! Really glad you liked it :-)

great video johan .. and i gotta say .. i liked em all .. they all sounded good with your playin .. (could be cause i have a an sg too and sometimes i sound sorta like you ) but all the speakers sounded pretty good .. i can't really say there were any i didn't like .. i'm lookin forward to hearin your video where you compare celestions to jensens .. thanks a bunch for takin the time to put this together .. i'm sure it was a labor of love ..

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Al, Yeah I had a great time recording it :-) I actually have a clip where I compare Celestion to Jensen kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ7PkIFsr9t4kMU Cheers Johan

[@megas2807]

Tack så mycket! Great tones!

[@brandonhupp5264]

Very cool! My 1995 lead cab always sound's kinda ice picky with deep bass. This video helped me alot for my next speaker purchase wich might be on the lines of new Vintage 30's thanks bro!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, man! Very glad if the shootout is put to use. Cheers! Johan

[@voltagecontrols]

Great work as always Johan! On a side note I decided to dismantle two old 2x12 cabs that once used to be a tall 4x12 that my father in law gave me a while back. He used them as part of a PA-system back in the 60'ies. Thought there might be some interesting speakers in there - look and behold, 4x Celestion "Silver" G652's in mint condition(!) only.. now I can't decide what to do with them :O

[@JohanSegeborn]

Damn! You could sell them to me :-)

[@MrTPF1]

Johan -- yet another amazing video! Appreciate you taking all that time and effort to show us all the models. I was VERY surprised that the more modern ones, including the ones from China, didn't sound bad at all. Reading some other stuff on the web would make you think that if you don't have 20-50 year old speakers, you're wasting your time! Not so! I thought they were all good. There was one that I thought was shrill more towards about the ⅔ point, but I didn't write it down to tell you which one it was! Other than that one, I thought they were all totally serviceable. Excellent job! Thanks!

[@JohanSegeborn]

[@sim0n17]

loved it all -- was impressed with the 12T-100, had not knowingly heard one before. I like the much maligned 12M-70 speakers, I have an old pair in a 212 cab, great with guitar and/or bass. My overall favorite of all time are the EVM 12L speakers, but there are always different tools for different jobs -- Cheers Johan, keep them coming!!

[@gromousse]

Excellent video as usual ! Did you have a look at 1980's G12-65 bass cone 444 in 1935A cab ? I can't find very comments or videos about it.

[@andrealay4006]

wow.. quite a difference with the 1988 vintage 30 with the 2014.. i've watched your other shootout and STILL the vintage 30 really rings into me.. really really helpful vid for celestion references! and nice blues chops mate!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thank you! You are too kind! J

[@marccarter1350]

Amazing Video again! Ha. Being old, i still use them in my 1970's hifi. They seem to make my vinyl sound that bit sweeter. Low wattage, but a great sounding speaker. I have tested them back to back. They win out agaist newer speakers I liked the sound of the 1973G12h-30. I have just replaced my rubbish speaker in my busking amp, a Artec battery operated amp, with a 8 inch 15 watt Celestion. It did the job adding more mid range to the over all sound. Always been a fan of their speakers since a was a young lad :-)

[@JohanSegeborn]

+marc carter I love speakers too! The most important part of the sound chain! Which Celestions do you have in your hifi? Cheers

[@DimitarPetrevski]

Awesome comparison! Thanks! I have 4x12 Marshall cab from late 70's loaded with G12-80 speakers, they sound good with my JCM800 2203, but they are not that vintage sounding. I had G12T-75 in 2x12 Marshall cab but I didn't like them at all, they were too trebly for me. I also have one 2x12 Marshall cab from 70's (4x12 straight size) with some rare MacKenzie 50W. They were used on some of the first JMP100 2x12 combos and they sound really awesome.

[@zundap100]

This seems to me that if you do not know what to do, take the Greenback and enjoy. It does not matter which of them, they are all good. Thank Johan, this is another job well done.

[@jeannickgravelines2515]

I'm watching your video in cercle. Many thanks

[@THEWEIRDSISTERS69]

This dudes playing is always ALWAYS beyond tasty

[@Otter51]

Johan, your comparisons are for me the Number 1 on KZbin. The riffs you play are similar enough to hear the differences in the sound, but at the same time various enough to enjoy it as a complete piece of music on its own! I enjoy very much your playing skills, your tight rhythm and also the marvellous crunch coming from the loudspeakers. However, I don't understand how you can get this crunch with the setting "preamp 2 and master 1". If already the setting "preamp 2" results in such a crunch, is it possible at all to play your JCM800 clean? Thank you very much, best regards Tom

[@mattstrash]

Sheeeeeeet!! Did you swap out and solder all of those speakers for this shootout? You are the man!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Hi there, I recently bought an Orange Th30 head and Im building a 2x12 mini slant cab, my budget it´s kinda short, would you recomend the V type as a v30 replacement, or an Eminence Governor would be a better choice? I´ve read a lot about the v30 being the perfect speaker for muy Orange but it´s kinda difficult for my right now to get those. Thanks!

[@elpol3904]

Hi Johan, what do you think of the cabinet hughes & kettner with celestion g12f 60? I cant find information or reliable reviews. thnx.

[@stephenwallen4942]

Best speaker video ever made. Proves that any Celestion speaker made before 1975 is way better than anything made after 1975.

[@bjmuziek6211]

I really like your shootouts. Listened to the cabinet shootout as well. Most appreciated. Just one problem with this one: after several minutes I lost concentration and wanted to plug in and play along :-) Relaxing music and video. As to what speaker a liked (best)? Many. I liked the G12H30 1971, but also learned that the G12T75 (similar to what I have in my JMC800 cabinet) suit me well. Tip: put the time stamp next to each speaker in the list in your description?

[@JohanSegeborn]

B J Muziek Thanks, that makes me really glad to hear! And I'll paste the time stamps right away. Cheers Johan

[@bjmuziek6211]

Hey Johan...I love your videos and I share your love of all things Marshall. If you ever get to San Francisco gimme a holler and I show you my old plexus and rocker panels, plus a few other non-Marshall gems I have laying around. Adios!

[@JohanSegeborn]

+Awing Of Doom. Thanks! Glad to hear it :-)

[@GargoilNation]

Thanks for this demo Johan, obviously a lot of work to gather up these speakers and get them in the cab, miced, and recorded. I enjoyed it and appreciate your work to get this posted! But, you asked for an opinion; I could tell the difference in sound of the speakers in your video, but I feel that they have to be turned up to about 20 to 40 watts before you really feel the character of the break up. I think that many fellow guitarists would agree that a tube amp turned low sounds way different than one turned up and a pushed speaker sounds different than one run at low volume?

[@JohanSegeborn]

Hi, yeah I agree. Gonna do a high volume version soon. Cheers! Johan

[@lovzi9865]

Hi Johan! Do you know any good forum for buying, selling and trading speakers in sweden? Having some cravings to get some Classic Lead 80 in my 2x12 open back cab.

Love the 1973 G12H30 (55Hz), the 2014 G12-65 Heritage and the 1987 G12T75. Sound so cool. Thanks a lot for this video !!

clément bonal Thanks! Great to hear. Johan

I think you are our National treasure for taking the time to show us all of those great shootouts !!.................Really enjoy everyone of your demos!! Must agree with you that the 2014 G1265 sounded great and way better than the 80's ! And also agree for the G12m70,............They made my 1974 Hiwatt sound like a big fat piano on clean settings and my 1987x modified with Marstran Iron and all new old stock parts sing like a vilon on a string on gain setting. Cheers!......................Lou

+Lou Sekoya Thanks Lou! How does the Marstran Transformer compare to the orginal one? Cheers

[@JohanSegeborn]

It would be nice if you listed them to see if you tested the specific speaker I am looking for. Celestion "Rocket 50"
