## Description

This classic guitar speaker actually started life as a radio speaker that was modified specifically for use in electric guitar amplifiers. In its original incarnation as the G12 T530 it appeared in several colour variations, but it was the Blue version, fitted as standard into Vox AC30 amps, that secured its place in guitar tone history.The Blue found favour with notable guitarists like Brian May, due its glorious dampened attack, warm lows, mellow upper-mids and brilliant bell-like top-end. When coupled with a suitable amplifier it evokes rich definition and develops beautiful musical compression when pushed. According to tone enthusiasts worldwide, the Blue is the benchmark for guitar speaker perfection.

Review: Really opens up a darker amplifier. - I have one amplifier with EL84 tubes and it has a celestian classic lead 80. It's perfect for humbucker guitars. I have another amp with 6v6s that's quite a bit darker Even when playing single coil strat type guitars. I replaced the classic lead 80 in that can with this speaker and it really opened things up. Sounds great. That said, thid speaker's a lot more expensive than most other speakers.
