A Powerful Heir to the Greenback Lineage
Designed in the spirit of classic Celestions, the G12H-150 Redback pushes the Greenback and Creamback concept to very high power levels. Engineered to meet the demands of modern amplifiers, it combines a massive G12 magnet and a 2-inch voice coil to deliver the Celestion character while handling extreme pressure levels and saturation.
For Which Guitarists and Uses?
The Redback is aimed at guitarists who play loud on stage, in the studio, or at rehearsals, and want to retain the Celestion warmth without risking damage. Perfect in a compact 1x12 cabinet or 2x12, it excels from punchy rock to modern metal, while maintaining clear definition in clean and crunch tones for roots, stoner, or hard rock styles.
What Makes the Difference On Stage and In the Studio
Power Reserve and Bass Control
With its 150 W rating, the Redback offers comfortable headroom and firm bass that doesn't flub, even when tuned low or under heavy power compression. Attacks remain sharp and controlled.
Articulated Mids, Soothing Highs
The core of the sound is driven by rich and precise mids, while the highs stay smooth and never harsh. The result is a dense tone that blends well in the mix and is easy to capture with a microphone.
Efficiency and Projection
Its high sensitivity contributes to effective projection and quick response, giving the impression of a larger cabinet without sacrificing musicality.
