Back in 1986 a new breed of hard rock player was on the rise. To meet the demands of the players and their increasingly ‘hot-rodded’ amplifiers, Celestion set out to develop a modern speaker, capable of handling much more power and overdrive. To achieve this, Celestion coupled their ‘H’ magnet (the closest in performance to Alnico) with a new cone and voice coil employing contemporary materials. 

Celestion's most revealing speaker, the Vintage 30 features enormously detailed and complex overtones, a warm low-end, a famously rich vocal mid-range and a beautifully detailed top-end. Used singly to reveal the complexities in hand-wired boutique amps, or in quartets for a wonderfully intricate vintage 3D crunch, the Vintage 30 sound has been captured on thousands of recordings from a diverse range of notable players including Slash, Steve Stevens and Peter Frampton.

Adrian Belew, Sonny Sharrock, Bill Frisell, Frank Zappa, Fred Frith, sometimes I live on the weird side of music and was worried about buying such a popular speaker. I also love John Lee Hooker, The MC5, early Ted Nugent, badass old school down and dirty Detroit rock 'n' roll, and I couldn't be happier. Coupled with a great guitar and tube head, this speaker takes my sound the rest of the way there.

I upgraded my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with this speaker. I read all the reviews and everyone was right. This speaker gave my hot rod the powerful and warm sound that everyone said it would. I received it today via UPS and I could tell the difference right off. The change from the stock fender/eminence to the Celestion V30 was awesome.
