- This is a short comparison video between two celestion speakers: the A-type and V-type. Both speakers are mic'd with a 57 going into Logic 9. No post eq.

Good comparison. We dig the added sparkle of the V Type better for clean stuff but also liked it better for the dirty stuff. We can see how a 2x12 cab with one of each would be great though. The A type was less tear your head off for leads though.
Yeah man. That was my conclusion too; the v-type is a pretty awesome speaker for everything really.
Great vid!! I am currently using a V Type in a 1x12 tube combo. Love it! Your sound from the beginning on is sooo sassy! Amazing tone and dynamics. Definitely favor the V over the A. Your sound is now making me look up Dr Z amps...Curse you!! lol
love your playing. that's one stratty sounding strat. my vote goes strongly toward the V.
guitarzan zan thanks man. The strat has dimarzio area pickups, they're a fantastic noiseless option. I prefer the V too
Yeah that's the strattiest strat I've heard in ages.
@@samwilcockmusic Which ones may I ask?
Candid X 58 in the neck, 67 middle, heavy blues in the bridge.
Celestion recommend these together
Have one, and now I want them both!
Really great demo. Distortion demos are drowned out a bit by the drums though
Great demo! Don't think you would go wrong with either.
The V Type can be really beautiful at a gig. Super musical is a good description. My favorite Celestion and a total keeper.
paultrombetta my favourite too. Plus it’s cheap and light!
Killer demo. That's the way they should be done. It's the V for me.
Thanks for the demo! For the clean tones, I honestly couldn't hear much of a difference. For the crunch tones, I preferred the V-type. But, it could have been because the volume level of the V-type recording was slightly higher than the recording for the A-type. Great playing too!
Thanks man. To me, the V has an upper mid presence that means it pokes through the mix more. In clean sounds that just made it a little louder and toothier. For drive sounds, it's noticeably more aggressive. I've found the A type to be a nice match for a bright amp, and if you're playing clean all gig it's much less fatiguing while retaining definition. V is a great rock-voiced speaker.
Tom Platz thanks man! The V type tends to poke through the mix more; the volumes were the same but that mid presence means it'll always get heard. Cheers for watching.
Nice playing, nice demo!
Good and proper comparison, thanks!
Excellent demo. Thanks!
imo I thought that the V cleans sound better, and the A crunch sounds better
I have my A on CL in trade for a V, due to this demo. Great demo and dig your playing.
Candid X thanks! The v type is one of my fave speakers, it does everything really well.
Excellent demo. thank you
The V type sounds more Fenderish to me. Weird. On the other hand, Fender are mainly Jensen speakers or Eminence speakers.
greagt demo and tone , cheers
Have both these speakers and the A type is brighter, clearer and does not muddy up with high gain. It is my favorite in my Fender and Blackstar amps.
Really just depends on the amp. I have a new Fender bass breaker with the V Type and sounds wonderful clean and cranked.....
The V type recording was louder even the drum and bass tracks were louder so kinda skews things.
Alex Gambill fair comment. I can’t remember how I recorded this, but it was my first attempt at mixing audio with video so I’m sure I made plenty of mistakes!
Was the cab open backed.I thought the v sounded more treblier
True World yeah it’s a semi open back cab. And the V definitely has more bite! To me it has GB highs and mids and V30 lows.
i really like the A-type speakers
Nice playing.
Matthew Watkins thanks dude, very kind
No it’s true, it nice to hear someone who can make the equipment sound as it should. I personally thought the v type came over better recorded.
Could I ask what you thought of the speakers? Is that an open back cab?
The V-type cuts better through the mix
Really enjoyed your tasty playing.
Tony Stewart thanks man!
A is far less fizzy in the 5khz range
Yeah, better choice in an open back cab I think. The V type sounds killer in a close back.
Yeah I hear that too. The A-Type is super smooth. I've been using two Neo V-Types in my Orange amp which I love, but I've recently put an A-Type in a VHT Special 6 Ultra combo practice amp. Good for that tweedy 6V6 breakup tone.
I wonder what it would sound like if I put a V-type and A-type in my hotrod deville 2x12?
zedzero77 I was thinking the same thing for a twin reverb.
Turn the drum machine and bass down please.
I wish more players tested speakers in the mix like this. This is a more in context and accurate representation.
So the A type is supposed to be a take on the American sound... You'd honestly think they must have never heard an American amp in their lives....
Yeah the V-type does sparkly clean stuff way better
Yeah as if they made them totally the opposite way!
I disagree. In this demo i hear more of the Vox "chime" in the V Type 🤷♂️
A type
Is the A-type like a Jensen ceramic?
:D which Jensen ceramic? They vary greatly depending on the model.
4 mounting holes only on the V-Type? WTF?
i have a celestial gold, which is considered a top tier speaker. it only has 4 mounting holes.
I have a V-type in a 1x12 cab and it has 8 mounting holes. Just depends.
What's your opinion on the Montage cab?
Ollonskog it’s great. Light, sounded big too with a tight low end. Superb value. The tolex ain’t great and mine’s in poor condition from changing speakers so often but I think you can’t go wrong at that price.
V type!
Fantastic.
hgostos Thanks mate!
If you’ve got a 2x12 cabinet, put these both in… thank me later
2:50 extremely Marshally.
John Burns that’s the Xotic SL drive. Great pedal
