Product Description
Combining decades of experience with advanced measurement and analysis, the V-Type has been built using a carefully balanced "recipe" of old and new design techniques. It produces a heady, exciting modern vintage sound that just makes you want to keep on playing: a speaker that delivers authentic Celestion tone whatever your style. The V-Type is a sweet sounding speaker with a superbly balanced tonal signature that imparts a vintage musicality to your tone. Clean sounds are true across the lows, mids and highs, with enough upper-mid chime and HF sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.

Great value
The Celestion V-Type sounds like a cross between a Vintage 30 and a Greenback. The V-Type also has the mid peak, found in the Vintage but it starts later, around 600 Hz, and drops off sharply after 1kHz. What you get is a significantly smoother sound than the Vintage 30 and stronger bass than a Greenback. Out of the box there's none of that harshness I've found with V30's. It has a big, smooth midrange, but the bass is much more solid than a traditional Greenback. The V-Type also weighs quite a bit less than the Vintage 30 because it uses a smaller magnet. The smaller magnet has the additional advantage that this speaker can be used in small combos such as my Vox Ac4-C1-12 in which a large magnet would come in contact with the transformers. I recommend it if your looking for something not as mid peaking as a V30 but still want similar qualities. Great value.
