Celestion G12M Hempback 212 Open

TRY IT

The Celestion® G12M Hempback 212 Open is an official Celestion® DynIR captured from a pair of Hempback drivers retrofitted in an open-backed 2×12 enclosure.

We’ve all heard about the wonders of Hemp! It’s a protein powerhouse, packed full of essential fatty acids, a source of BioFuel and above all, environmentally sustainable – who would have known it’s killer in the all-important tone department to boot!

Released in 2021, the Hempback heralds a new-era in Celestion®’s pursuit of next-generation guitar sonics. Fusing deft levels of definition, a superbly balanced low-end, oodles of mid-range presence and buttery smooth – some might say, ‘smokey’ – highs, the 50-Watt G12M Hempback exists in a class of its own. Expertly engineered for American voiced amps, expect a nefarious blend of tonal distinction and a hyper-articulate response that’s exquisitely tuned for clean and saturated tones alike.

When you’re in the market for wide sonic dispersion, and plenty of low-end thump balanced with sublime clarity and articulation, a 2×12 is an undisputed must-have. With the G12M Hempback 212 Open’s rock-solid build, stellar resonance and open-back specification, expect an organic sound that pushes the natural character of both your guitar and the companion Hempback speaker to perfection.

Part of the “Celestion® Presents: The G12M-50 Hempback” DynIR cabinet collection, the G12M Hempback 212 Open has been expertly-captured at Celestion® HQ using stellar recording peripherals and a mic collection that affords seamless adaptability from the studio to the stage.
