Tired of anemic tone? If so, breathe easy — Celestion has the perfect cure. Load a Classic Lead 80 into your amplifier and you'll inject your tone with the red-blooded sound that's been shaking arenas since the late '70s. Crank up your amp and enjoy tight lows, muscular mids, and smooth highs. If you like crunchy power chords, you'll love the CL80. Its powerful midrange punch and subtle high-frequency roll-off deliver an aggressive sound that eschews any hint of shrillness. And high-gain solos sing at at any volume without unwanted fizziness or ear-splitting frequencies. Power, dynamics, and definition — you'll experience it all with the Classic Lead 80.
Developed in the late 1970s, the Classic Lead 80 is a natural evolution of Celestion's iconic G12-80 speaker. The CL80 features a traditional speaker cone, fiberglass voice coil, and larger dust cap, delivering a killer blend of vintage and modern tones. When played clean, this speaker yields incredible clarity and natural headroom. When played dirty, it delivers aggressive mids with tight lows and smooth highs. If you're seeking a great-sounding rock-voiced guitar speaker, the Classic Lead 80 should be at the top of your list.

Whether it's the speaker in your guitar amp or a replacement PA speaker component, Celestion tests each speaker series rigorously to make sure you're getting a great-sounding speaker that's built to last.
