Platinum Supporting Member Messages 20,916 I have the pleasure of being able to have a new Celestion Heritage G12H30 75hz speaker to check out. Celestion 101 was kind enough to let me use it and check it out, its a first-run speaker right off the line from Celestion. I installed it in a Kerry Wright diagonal 2x12 closed back cab along with a Celestion Heritage G12H30 55hz, which is my favorite speaker to date. I disconnected the 55hz speaker so I could hear the 75hz speaker by itself. Comparing it to the 55hz the 75hz speaker has a extended upper midrange tone and a very nice top end, not shrill but very present. Lots of clarity in the speaker. Not quite as deep of bass as the 55hz but still plenty. It would be a great speaker in a 1x12 cab. With the 55hz speaker connected the cab really came to life. Its like ALL the frequencies are there, deep lows, woody mids and a very sweet high end. The 55hz speaker has a bit more crunch in the highs and with the other speaker there is the perfect amount of smooth highs with the hint of crunch. I have tried the cab with a Two Rock Eric Gales proto, a Matchless Chieftain, a Magic Amps Brit TB86 and a Custom By Cougar Thunderbird head. All sounded very clear, woody and thick. This speaker is going nowhere! I love this combination and when the 75hz speaker is released you guys are going to love it. BTW, for reference, I own a '69 Marshall 4x12 with 014 bass cones. Thanks Rick!!!! :bow Last edited: Mar 5, 2011 rockon1

Messages 13,703 Thanks for the review! sounds nice! Celestion should release higher output versions of the G12H-30 too. Its a bit limiting power-wise and its a shame that other clone makers are offering higher powered versions of a great speaker. Celestion 101-you out there? : > ) Bob louis

Gold Supporting Member Messages 6,796 Nice, I've been waiting on these..... GAT, would you say that the 75 overall is as bright a speaker as the 55? GAT

GAT

Platinum Supporting Member Messages 20,916 Its a different bright. The 55hz seems more "crunchy" in the highs and the 75 seems smoother and more extended. Plenty of natural highs, but not sizzley. Together they are perfect! wedewer

Messages 2,439 How does it compare to the 70th Anniversary? I am actually not a g12h30 fan, but its what my London Pro was voiced around and it's what it sounds best with. Just wish I could lose some of that top end harsh fizz it has. Does the 75hz heritage have that as well? GAT

No, mine doesn't. It has an extended high end but not fizzy or brash. strangec

Silver Supporting Member Messages 8,619 Interesting....of course the obvious question is going to be, how does it compare to the Scumback H75?? I've got an H55/H75 mix in an open back 2x12 and I agree the combination of the 55hz and 75hz speakers is really nice. MichaelK

Messages 7,629 background on the heritage series: CELESTION REVISITS TWO LEGENDS WITH ITS NEW HERITAGE SERIES — New Celestion Heritage Series perfectly recreates the classic ‘60s G12M Greenback and low-resonance G12H speakers, both offering guitarists a look back at Celestion’s roots with a clear view of the future — NAMM WINTER SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January 20, 2005 — Celestion announces the debut of its Heritage Series guitar speakers, a perfect recreation of the classic G12M and G12H speakers that helped forged the sound of the guitar greats during the 1960s British Invasion. Adhering precisely to the initial design notes and specifications of the original speakers that were rediscovered during a recent Celestion factory move, the new Heritage Series is hand-built in England and pays strict attention to detail right down to the voice coil former material, glue formulations and edge-treatment. In addition, close consideration has been paid to matching the coil and magnetic flux specifications of the 1960s models, while particulars including solder-only tag panels and original “Thames Ditton” labels ensure the Heritage G12M and G12H look as authentic as they sound. The original G12M became known as the “Greenback,” for the green casing of its medium weight ceramic magnet. This new Heritage Series G12M pays faithful homage to its predecessor with a silky, smooth tone and distinctive “sports-car growl.” The Greenback of the 1960s was also a highly articulate speaker, perfect for the pioneering lead guitarists of the time. Like any piece of technology, the basic Greenback’s tonal characteristics evolved over time, moving away from those of the original model. But now, Celestion has recreated the classic 1960s G12M for a new generation of rock and blues guitarists, using exactly the same materials and construction techniques. The Heritage Series G12M is a 12-inch speaker with a pressed-steel chassis that features a 20-Watt power rating, 1.75-inch round copper voice coil, 8 or 15 Ohm nominal impedance, 96 dB sensitivity, and frequency response of 75-5000 Hz. In every tonal and sonic aspect, the Heritage Series G12M remains a painstakingly exact replica of the original. Celestion’s new Heritage Series G12H recalls all the power, higher sensitivity and authority of its vintage low resonance forerunner. Rated at 30 Watts, the 12-inch Heritage Series G12H has all the same features that made the original low resonance G12H model speaker so popular, including a pressed-steel chassis, 1.75-inch round copper voice coil, ceramic 50 oz. magnet, impedance rating of 8 or 16 Ohm, and low 55 Hz resonance point, along with a 55-5,000 Hz frequency range. The new Celestion Heritage Series G12H speaker exudes thick, syrupy tones with a deep, growling bottom end and will allow guitarists to accurately recreate the prized guitar tones of rock’s own classic era. remocity
