I had done a side by side of the two amps/speakers prior to purchasing a four years ago. The Chocolate Brownie with the Alnico was a better option from the factory at that time. Just recently I was having my guitars worked on at the Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta, as they have a top flight repair and maintenance team. I happened to test each guitar from a silver face Deluxe Reverb just by chance as it was close to mine. The sound out of the the silver face was materially different than mine. I looked in the back to find this Celestion 12 inch V Type 70 from the factory. I did some research and decided to buy one and replace the factory speaker. WOW!!! worth the money in every measurement. Lows, mids, highs are terrific and more rounded at any volume than the special edition factory speaker. With any volume at all the amp comes to life. The speaker sounds authentic to Fender purists and is punchier than the factory speaker. I have an original '65 Super Reverb still with factory speakers and I just thought the Deluxe 12" was muddier due to the size. Not so once the Celestion was installed. The pros and cons are the V type can handle more power. I have JJ 6L6s installed and it takes all they can give it with a predictable break up. The down side is it takes a bit more power to get the amp and speaker to get to that vintage distortion and crunch, but by just a bit. The amp's tube reverb and vibrato functions sounds more alive, along with all pedals. I could NOT be happier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect British 1x12 speaker *by J***L on March 27, 2025* I installed this in a Matchless circuit 1x12 combo. I had a Wheelhouse 150 in there, but despite the hemp cone - don't get me wrong, it's probably the most beautiful speaker ever built, in the Cerwin-Vega/Altec vein - but I'm getting my dirt from a Friedman BE-OD Deluxe - great pedal, perfect for JMP and JCM tones - and a Dirty Shirley - the best for JTM tones - and wanted a British cone. I prefer running a Greenback/G13h-30 mix in a 2x12 vert or 4x12 cab, with the Greenbacks on top, and some reviews say the V-Type is a blend between the two. It certainly is, an absolutely fantastic speaker. It's like a Greenback and a G12h-30 had a baby. Great British clean tones, great British high-gain, perfect for my needs. I'm ordering another for installation in a Princeton Reverb build, the current Texas Heat in it is nice but doesn't handle Marshall-flavored gain well.I had another Princeton RI with a Greenback, loved it but wanted more high-end. This V-Type is it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice speaker *by R***Y on May 16, 2020* I listened to many speakers. Some cost three times as much as the v-type, there is no reason for me to spend anymore than the 93$ I paid for this speaker. I put it in a 2 x 12 seismic Luke C sealed (i bought here on amazon) cabinet with a seventy 80 that I bought used for 35$ and they work great together. I have a Fender Super Champ SC112 80-watt 1x12" cabinet that came with a celestion seventy 80. It was way too bright for me. I play Epiphone Les paul and SG for the warm sound. But this speaker was way too bright as it was. But once I paired it with the V-type in the seismic cabinet, I was really impressed. Perfect sound for my ears. V-type plus a seventy 80 in a seismic 2 x 12 for for just over $300 I got the perfect cabinet for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - CELESTION V-Type 8 ohm Guitar Speaker - CELESTION A-Type Guitar Speaker (T5925) Black 12" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/13119481-v-type](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/13119481-v-type) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
