The Jensen® CaliGemini 212 C12Q is an official DynIR from Jensen Loudspeakers®, captured from a custom Black-Panel Twin Reverb® inspired 2×12 enclosure outfitted with a pair of C12Q drivers.

When it comes to bonafide vintage guitar Sonics, Jensen Loudspeakers® exist in a class of their own. Not only were they the certified must-have for Leo Fender’s first foray into Guitar Amplifiers, Jensen® cemented their heritage throughout the 1940s, -50s and -60s as the go-to for the period’s most legendary amps (including Fender®, Ampeg® and Gibson® no less). Fast forward to today and Jensen® exist as a steadfast pillar for traditional and contemporary guitar sonics alike – whether it’s classic vintage tone brimming with vibey mojo, or modern state-of-the-art design engineered to influence generation after generation, Jensen® continue their mission of pioneering drivers to inspire their customer’s creativity with sublime tone and night-after-night reliability.

Looking to push your driver to the brink, get the best out of your front-loaded pedal arsenal and dial in crystalline highs with sublime bell-like chime? Sounds like you’re in the market for a vintage Ceramic speaker Sir! With every capture included in the “Jensen® Presets: The 60’s” collection, Jensen® delivers the archetypal Ceramic-powered drivers in their roster, primed for authentic 60’s “black-face” style tones and set to elevate your sonics with all the tonal-prowess of their heritage range.

The rightful ceramic successor to the infamous P12Q, Jensen®’s C12Q is arguably one of the most versatile speakers in the Vintage range. Powerful enough for a cranked Deluxe-style amp, it pushes the perfect blend of tight lows, punchy mids and crystalline highs. Highly revered doesn’t do this driver justice – in-fact , it’s a firm stock favourite for the likes of Fender®, Ampeg®, Silvertone® and Supro® no less. Fit a pair of these into a custom-made Black-Panel Twin Reverb® inspired 2×12 and brace yourself for the things dreams are made of! Whether it’s a pedal-format clean or a raunch fuelled mean that guarantees to cut through any mix, this capture delivers the good in spades! Boasting an extended dispersion and a tuned cab resonance in all the right places, this is one DynIR deserving of any tone chaser’s sonic arsenal!

Available individually or as part of the “Jensen® Presets: The 60’s” DynIR Cabinet Collection, the Jensen® CaliGemini 212 C12Q has been exquisitely captured using studio-grade mics and recording peripherals to deliver the perfect blend of primo tone and seamless adaptation from the studio to the stage.
