Since the 60’s Marshall has been synonymous with great guitar tone, and a large part of that is down to the legendary Celestion speakers. From the iconic G12 greenbacks through to the Seventy80s, the Vintage series and beyond, Marshall and Celestion have become the ultimate power couple. Like Bonnie and Clyde or bacon and eggs, they’ve become inseparable and formed an iconic partnership that has stood the test of time.
Which is why when Celestion dove headfirst into the bold new world of Impulse Responses Marshall were only too happy to become their partner in crime and make use of their new IR range. We’ve spent almost 60 years creating some of the greatest guitar sounds in the world, and now there’s a way to accurately capture that and share those sounds with players around the world? Well, that sounds exactly like our cup of tea.
Find out below exactly what an IR is and why Marshall has used them to record samples of each of our amps. If you can’t wait to hear them, head over to our amp pages now.
