"Vintage 30 and class-A amp"

I recently bought a Laney VC30 all tube class-A combo amp. I replaced the HH Invader speaker with a Vintage 30, and boy! What a difference. The Invader sounded okay, but coudn't come close to the creamy warm, "woody" tone of the Celestion. I play a telecaster with Van Zandt pickups, and combined with the midrange warmth of the Vintage 30 (and the right tubes of course), the tone is fantastic. That's why I'm getting 2 more Vintage 30s for an extension cabinet.

About This Product!
Description
Think of your all time favorite guitar solo - chances are it was played through Celestion loudspeakers. When a toughened G12 radio loudspeaker was combined with an early guitar amplifier back in the 50's, who could have imagined the sound would be so influential. But the soft, creamy overtones produced by an overloaded valve amp through a Celestion speaker had defined a whole new sound; one that powered the emerging guitar heroes of the period and, during the next 4 decades, became the undisputed Voice of Rock 'n Roll.

Be it Manchester Brit-pop, L.A. shred-metal, or Seattle grunge, it's more than likely coming at you through a Celestion. Most of the classic names in guitar amplification continue to rely on the unique tonal characteristics of Celestion loudspeakers to produce their trademark sounds.
