The Celestion® 100 112 Open is an official Celestion® DynIR captured from a singular Celestion® 100 driver retrofitted in an open-back 1×12 enclosure.

Meticulously hand-crafted in the UK, the new-for-2024 Celestion® 100 celebrates Celestion®’s 100-year anniversary and the world’s first purpose-built guitar loudspeaker which – in various guises – has voiced some of the most legendary and memorable licks of all time. Referencing Celestion®’s collection of early alnico speakers, the Celestion® 100 is born of a painstaking research and development process, analysing, understanding and then replicating the very essence of these exquisite collector’s items.

On the all-important tone-front, expect a blooming low-end and bell-like highs, all underpinned with a sweet, shimmering midrange presence. When driven into distortion, brace yourself for a gradual, musical compression, softening the note-attack as you’d expect from a stellar Celestion® alnico driver. When your performance demands a natural, organic tone that lets your companion driver truly sing, an open-back 1×12 is the answer. With the Celestion® 100 112 Open capture, expect pure-unadulterated sonics that gets the very-best from your guitar and the all important companion driver – lest we forget, super-versatile options for rear-micing to hone your signature tone with ease!

Part of the “Celestion® Presets: The Celestion® 100” DynIR cabinet collection, the Celestion® 100 112 Open has been expertly-captured at Decoy Studios using stellar recording peripherals and a mic collection that affords seamless adaptability from the studio to the stage.
