Similar to the G12m-25 Greenback, but with a thicker low end, these speakers push more air out of smaller cabinets for a big and bold sound.
Overview
The Celestion G12M-65 Creamback Replacement Guitar Speaker is perhaps the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. Developed in the mid-sixties, it was quickly adopted by players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more aggressive blues rock playing styles that came to characterize that era.
The G12M-65 Creamback produces the familiar woody G12M tone, but handles greater power making it ideally suited for today's amps, when a vintage tone is desired. The increased power handling brings with it low end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid range, crunchy upper- mids and sweet, refined highs. Yet another tone machine from Celestion.

"The perfect Rock Speaker"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
My Marshall DSL 40 was too bright and tinny and I had to keep the treble and bass on 2 and the presence off. I put in the Creamback and now I have all controls at midnight, I can now add or subtract as desired, but it sounds great where they are..It brings out the character of my AM Strat and Mex Tele. I love my amp now. I play Rush, AC/DC, Billy Squire, old school metal etc,,,The speaker has that style of midrange punch. Very close to my old dsl 50 half stack. Kudos to ZZounds also as I got the speaker in 3 days!
Musical Background:
40 years. I played with bands in the eighties and currently play at home
Musical Style:
Rock, Christian, Metal
