Born in the golden age of British amplification, the G12M Greenback has become a true reference, adopted by countless rock guitarists. Its expressive and vocal midrange tone contributed to the sonic character of icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Angus Young, and Tony Iommi. Over the decades, it has evolved without losing the DNA that built Celestion's reputation.
Ideal for lovers of organic crunch, punchy overdrive, and strong riffs, the G12M Greenback shines in low-wattage combos as well as 1x12, 2x12, or 4x12 cabinets. Alone, it adds character to a small amp; in multiple configurations, it enhances more powerful heads while maintaining definition, even with modern saturations.
The Greenback emphasizes present and musical mids to naturally stand out in a mix. The highs remain restrained, never harsh, while the lows stay firm and controlled, offering clear attack on chords as well as heavy riffs. Its 98 dB sensitivity and ceramic magnet contribute to a responsive dynamic response, designed for both stage and recording.
