CELESTIONG12M-65 Creamback 12-Inch 8-Ohm 65-Watt Guitar Speaker

Really enjoying this speaker. Running it in a Cub III 30. Swapped out the Bad Cat V30 with this to try something new. It’s a nice change. I’m a sucker for Greenbacks and that’s what it really reminds me of. Has that papery/woody feel and sound to it. Seems to thicken things up and round off some of the harsher highs with higher gain drive or fuzz pedals. I’d say the Bad Cat speaker has a little more of a 3D chime to the cleans. This is more balanced. Reminds me more of the Matchless sound. Was worried it wouldn’t have enough high end based off how it’s portrayed in a lot of YouTube demos but there is plenty in the room and under a sm57.

I replaced the stock Peavey Sheffield 1230 speaker in my Peavey Bandit 112. The Sheffield is a good speaker and some like it, but I found it to be overly middle to high mid forward sounding (clear yet too much in your face), lacking in the low mid (body and warmth), and can get harsh in the treble. Thus, I replaced the Sheffield with a Celestian G1265M Creamback (8 Ohm) and now the amp has a tight low end (slightly less than the G1275M Creamback), good low mid warmth and growl, and a fairly less mid forward sound while still retaining good clarity. I have, however, had to dial back both treble and presence control when compared to the stock speaker, but the Creamback seems to add a balance amount of gain (much wider bandwidth) in the treble and presence region that were missing in the stock speaker which makes the Creamback overall much smoother in sound even when having to dial back treble and presence controls to avoid harshness. With that said, I am happy with the overall sound of the Creamback and in particular the overdrive tones via pedals which are full, smooth, and clear with little to no ice-picky highs. Context is everything so the M Creamback may or may not fit well to your amp and guitar setup and for the tone you are looking for.

They sound great! Zero issues.

I used the Creamback as a replacement for the G-12H in my Matchless Spitfire. The original speaker was very harsh and brittle to my ear as well as being made in China. The Creamback sounds fantastic in my Spitfire. Smooth mids and no ice picky highs! And it's made in the UK

Replaced a 70 80 with this in my amplifier, which is sort of a 30 watt Vox clone. Fit perfectly, good price point, tamed the super high frequencies and made my Firebird sound more well rounded. Has a nice British roar. Classic sort of rock tone but very smooth for clean playing as well. Came perfect with no damage or such. Says made in UK on it, and other models are made elsewhere, so maybe they used classic methods and tooling.

I've been using Greenbacks and wanted to try these. They sound great. A bit more detailed than the Greenabacks. Order arrived well packaged and on time. Installed without an issue.

Sounds lovely with a vintage HiWatt amp. A bit pricey, but worth it.

The Super Sonic is a great little combo amp but the stock Vintage 30 is buzzy and harsh and has a serious beaming problem: it sounds completely different directly in front than even a few feet to the side. That's a real problem when trying to get a good mix in small clubs. I bought the Creamback hoping to tame the harshness, like Greenbacks do for my Marshall, and it does exactly that. I love the transitions from clean to distortion with this speaker, very smooth and linear. You can dial in a ridiculous amount of overdrive and still hear every note in your chord. AND the tone is much more consistent everywhere in front of the amp. Not perfect, but at least it's not painfully shrill on center and pure mud off to the side like the V30.
