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.
