Speaker cable, 2 x 6,3 mm plug, 3 m

If you are looking for a speaker with a classic American vibe, but need a smoother more soulful top end, look no further than the WGS G12C/S.  This is based on our popular G12C, but with a smooth cone, felt dust cap and just the right amount of edge treatment.  This speaker works great in amps where you are going for that big American clean but just need it a little softer up top.  Destined to be another WGS classic!

Combining a hemp cone specifically chosen for its tonal character and a medium-weight ceramic magnet, the G12M-50 Hempback represents an exciting new development in Celestion’s never-ending pursuit of outstanding tone. Distinctive and well-defined, the Hempback delivers a balanced low end, plenty of mid-band character together with smooth, silky highs.
Targeted for use in American voiced amps, for example in combos such as a Deluxe Reverb® or Blues Jr.®, to deliver true American-flavoured tone and cleans that are second to none. Load up a Hempback for a sweet and smoky sound that’s musical and responsive, and let your hemp tone shine through.

Tube-Town's Quick-Test (as of Feb 2023):
Speakers with hemp cone have been around for years, but somehow they never really caught on. To our European ears they usually sound a bit muffled, sometimes even dull and also a bit lifeless, which is why the expectations for the Celestion Hempback were not particularly high, but the surprise was then all the greater.
The Hempack was tested in an open 112 REX powered by a TT JC18. The guitar used was a Tele with hot pickups. In this configuration, the speaker delivered wide and balanced sound right out of the box, no overemphasis or annoying frequencies.
The bass was clear, the Tele's low strings came through strong yet defined, the mids were round but not overbearing, and the highs were convincing with a pleasant yet restrained presence. And even at gain setting 10 there was no cause for complaint (as long as you didn't turn the treble control on the amp too far to the right). The sound was round and without sawing highs, but still had its own character and enough bite to assert itself in a band context.

Conclusion: In the environment specified by Celestion (open cabinet or combo), the Hempback can convince with a balanced sound image, and that with both clean and heavier sounds. It is fun to play it. The 50 watts of the speaker are perfectly sufficient for a variety of amplifiers and a sensitivity of 99 dB is not exactly little either, and the weight of 3.5 kg makes itself felt positively especially with combos, especially if you have to move them often.
So all in all: thumbs up.

Headroom, clarity, balanced response, power...
These terms have become synonymous with a vintage American design that is known and sought the world over.  WGS now pays tribute to this classic with our WGS12L. However like all of our designs, we didn't set out to make a clone.  With this model we paid extra special attention to the details, producing a speaker that delivers that same even response without sounding sterile and lifeless.  Boasting a cast frame, 2.5" voice coil and a 200 watt rating, and clocking in at 18 pounds, this beast is loaded for bear.  As a welcome addition to the WGS fleet, this speaker is definitely our battleship.

Note from the boss: "We compared both the EVM 12L and the WGS 12L in an 806 cabinet and it was almost impossible to tell them apart. The WGS 12L is a great alternative to the original and we recommend it without reservation as a perfect replacement for the EVM 12L."

Combining decades of experience with advanced measurement and analysis, the V-Type has been built using a carefully balanced 'recipe' of old and new design techniques. It produces a heady, exciting modern vintage sound that just makes you want to keep on playing: a speaker that delivers authentic Celestion tone whatever your style.The V-type is a sweet sounding speaker with a superbly balanced tonal signature that imparts a vintage musicality to your tone. Clean sounds are true across the lows, mids and highs, with just enough upper-mid chime and HF sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.

Tube-Town's Review

The Celestion V-Type sounds like a Vintage 30 with a touch of Greenback. Does anybody really need this? We think so, because the V-type has some clear advantages over the Vintage 30.
The biggest complaint about the Vintage 30 it the strong mid peak, which is nearly linear at 100dB between 450 - 1300 Hz. The V-Type also has a mid peak, but it starts later, around 600 Hz, and drops off sharply after 1kHz, which gives it a significantly smoother, less cluttered sound.
The V-Type also weighs quite a bit less than the Vintage 30. Your back will be grateful, and combo owners will be particularly happy.
The weight reduction follows from the use of a smaller magnet. The smaller magnet has the additional advantage that it can now be used in combos in which the magnet of a Vintage 30 would come in contact with the tubes or transformers. The V-Type also handles 10 watts more, which allows greater headroom, and is particularly useful with 50-watt amps.
Finally, the V-Type is considerably less expensive than the Vintage 30, for which your wallet will thank you.
All in all, we have to ask if the Vintage 30 is even necessary any more, as the V-Type is, to our taste, a better speaker and highly recommended as a direct replacement.
 

With the Retro 10, we set out to build something with all the qualities we enjoy about our Retro 30 in a 10” speaker. It’s got a tight bottom, an articulate top end, and a nice low-midrange growl. It can be thought of as a distant cousin of the Green Beret 10, but with more low end, slightly more top end, and a shift in midrange characteristics.

Finally, the wait is over.   We have created a 10" speaker that captures all the tone and mojo of our extremely popular 12" Green Beret.   The Green Beret 10 boasts the same midrange push, articulate top end and warm, harmonically rich breakup of its larger namesake.  It also sports an impressive amount of low end for a 10" speaker.   With a 1.5" voice coil and a paper former, this speaker drips with vintage tone.    If you've been looking for classic British tone in a 10" speaker the Green Beret 10 delivers.

Tube-Town Review: Due to the smooth cone used in the 10" WGS Green Beret, its top end is much more subtle compared to the original 12" Celestion Greenback G12M, but also to the 10" Celestion Greenback. However, the midrange is not overemphasized and the whole speaker sounds full and balanced, with a distinct "American touch" to the overall sound.
We recommend the 10" Green Beret for everything from blues to rock to modern metal, but less so for blackface-typical clean sounds, for which there are better suited 10" speakers. In order for the speaker to develop its full sonic spectrum, it should be used either in an open cabinet or combo, or in a large-volume closed cabinet. A closed cabinet that is too small will dampen the speaker too much and cut the sound.
The WGS 10" Green Beret is also a real upgrade for many budget combos that are equipped with inexpensive 10" speakers and often sound a bit thin and sharp, especially when it comes to harder tones.
