Celestion Classic LEAD 80 16R

For more than 50 years, classic Celestion speakers have played a major role in creating the soundtrack of every decade. Today, Celestion use years of experience to develop guitar loudspeakers that are insisted upon by players across all musical genres, drawing on our rich sonic legacy while also taking full advantage of modern materials and manufacturing processes. The result of our ongoing development is a comprehensive range of vintage and modern voiced speakers with ceramic or neodymium magnets available with a range of power handling capabilities and sizes. Classic Series speakers are the choice of amplifier designers and players around the world, ensuring Celestion’s ongoing reputation as The Voice of Rock & Roll.

 

Developed in the late ’70s, the Classic Lead uses a fibreglass voice coil former to deliver an 80W power rating and a unique dynamic sound. A firm favourite with lead guitarists, the Classic Lead features a tightly controlled low-end, with strong high bass / low mid punch, aggressive mid range attack and a powerful yet controlled top-end. For power chords it has the tone to make its presence felt but the subtle highfrequency roll-off makes it ideal for solos, able to project single notes on loud stages without becoming shrill.
