Description

The 10" that thinks it's a 12". This speaker was developed to recapture the legendary sound of Celestion's 1970s 10s - a 10" speaker with a surprisingly meaty tone.Low in output but with the weighty low-end balance of a 12", the G10 Greenback features a complex, creamy mid-range and smooth, vintage top-end.In small combos this speaker adds real class, and when combined in a 4x10 gives rise to a raunchy, full-bodied tone, rich in low-end thump.

Tested by Tube-Town: The Celestion 10" Greenback may not have the sonic range of its big brother - which is of course physically impossible - but it still delivers a full sound that is a bit more restrained in the highs than the 12" Greenback, making it sound rounder and softer in the highs, even with more overdrive in the sound.
All in all, the Celestion 10" Greenback is a true rock and blues speaker that we would use in open cabinets or combos to get the most out of the speaker. Do not use closed cabinets that are too small, as the speaker needs to breathe, otherwise the "British touch" that the speaker has will be lost. The 30 watt power rating also gives the speaker a bit more headroom than the 12" Greenback, making it a bit more flexible to use than the original.

Incredibly good speaker if you want late 60's early 70's rock sound with early breakup. I put two in my Peavey Valveking 112 combo (yes they fit, barely!) and I also run my Orange Dual Terror head through them. Both amps sound beautiful with these speakers. In a shitty open back chinese combo that is... For Metal? Probably not. They are not very efficient, but that can be a good thing too. barely!) and I also run my Orange Dual Terror head through them.

Nice for clean sounds, very percussive and bright. However, its sounds muddy when driven hard with heavy and lead tones. For this reason I would not recommend it for rock sounds, rather blues tones. To my opinion this speaker is not versatile at all and is overrated commonly. People looking for a versatile 10" speaker should try the G10 vintage: Higher power handling, less bright and suited for most styles. recommend it for rock sounds, rather blues tones.
