About me:

Check out the video links below to see how guitar players feel about their Celestions:

Celestion began life in 1924 as a small company, designing and building loudspeakers. At around this time, the recently formed BBC had just started to transmit radio signals and, as radio receivers improved and there were a greater number of transmissions, purpose built loudspeakers were needed so as to improve general intelligibility. At Celestion, we had found the ideal way to market our loudspeakers.

During the late fifties, we introduced what is arguably the most famous guitar loudspeakers of all time - the Celestion Blue. It was an immediate hit with many of the up and coming musicians during this period. Toughened to withstand the demands of modern instruments and playing techniques, the Celestion Blue was developed from our existing range of high quality, general purpose 12" loudspeakers, which had been in production since 1936.

The unique sound of the Celestion Blue loudspeaker was the overriding factor in its popularity. When combined with an overloaded valve amplifier, it produced a sound which distorted easily. However, with the speaker's slower response, this distortion was smoothed into the gloriously creamy overtones loved by the Beatles and their contemporaries. Sustained notes were easily achieved, and finger and plectrum noises became less obvious. Used in the Vox AC30 and Marshall guitar amplifiers, the sound of the Celestion Blue was to change the voice of Rock & Roll in the decades to follow.

It was power that was to dictate the next evolution of guitar speakers. In the 1960s, Celestion utilised a Ceramc magnet and unleashed the Greenback: a new generation of speaker that delivered what is now thought of as "classic British tone". Another landmark in rock history!
