Built on 90 years of experience, knowhow and passion for great sound, the V-Type has been created using a carefully balanced ‘recipe’ of old and new design techniques. Weapon of choice for Richard Fortus of Guns n’ Roses, it delivers authentic Celestion tone together with vintage musicality and a thrilling, tactile responsiveness that leaves you feeling connected to the music and makes you want to keep on playing. Whatever your style, the V-Type provides a heady and exciting sound, with a superbly balanced tonal signature. Cleans are true across the lows, mids and highs, with just enough upper-mid chime and HF sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for a sizzling overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of midband warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.
