12" G12C/S - 75 watts

12" G12C/S - 75 watts

Impedance

If you are looking for a speaker with a classic American vibe, but need a smoother more soulful top end, look no further than the WGS G12C/S. This is based on our popular G12C, but with a smooth cone, felt dust cap, and just the right amount of edge treatment. This speaker works great in amps where you are going for that big American clean but just need it a little softer up top. With its touch-sensitive response and ability to take pedals extremely well, the G12C/S has become one of the most lauded in our American Vintage line.

Got the tone

I finally got the tone I wanted with the G12C/S speaker. I tried a Celestion Blue and a Celestion G12M Greenback in 2 tube Class A amp (6 watts with 6V6 and 12 watts with 6L6)that has a Tweed and British setting (more gain). The Blue was flubby down low and the Greenback lacked the clarity I was looking for. The WGS G12C/S covers it all with this low wattage amp. Works great with my pedal Board. It can do clean and rock & roll gain. Don’t play metal so I can’t comment on that. I am pleased with the speaker. I have also ordered a WGS 12” Alnico Black and Blue for a 1x12 speaker cab that I built. I will be using that speaker with a Dr. Z Maz 18 NR, but I will also try it with the G12C/S to see what they sound like together.

Great sounding American type speaker! The highs are tamed for overdrive/distortion use. I use a 1x12 cab, to save some carrying weight, and I like that WGS supplies 4 ohm speakers for my Fender Bandmasters that are looking for a 4 ohm load. Great customer service, also!

Great match with a 15

Wanted to modify an oversize 2x12 cabinet into a 1x15/1x12 configuration, and specifically wanted a speaker that could complement the low end of an Eminence 15" for guitar (not bass). Looked at many models but was impressed with the Warehouse G12C/S and the sound sample sample sold me ... just as the description states, if you're "going for that big American clean but just need it a little softer up top." VERY happy with the match-up and it sounds great with a variety of tube and solid-state heads. AAA+++

Perfect for twin reverb reissue

These have a more warm/full sound over the stick speakers. I really like the stock Jensens with the eq dialed in, but the eq needs to be perfect without much room for error to tame the brightness. The pair of G12C/S sound great across a spectrum of EQ settings and still retain the clean sound of the amp with plenty of headroom. Works well for a range of guitars with reasonable eq changes. Perfect for my single coil tele yet still not too dark for my jazz hollow body with humbuckers. These are an unbelievable value for a US made product. Thanks!

Yup! Pefect!

Yup! this is it! Single 4 ohm. Tried every other goddamn speaker with a 1965 Fender BandMaster head and none sound like this. And Ive got a lotta speakers! This brings out the Fender in the Fender if you know what I mean. Balanced, big round bottom but not too loose and beautiful shimmering highs without the ice pick of the old JBLs. Just perfect. Not sure what else to say. Sounds like a Fender should. Yup, perfect!

"Ceramic's are kinda blowing my mind right now. I put a G12C in my 59 tweed Deluxe and it gave me more presence than I was getting with the Alnico. The amp was punchier, clearer and had some serious cutting action. I put them in my Ampeg Gemini 1's and they killed (in a good way). I think I'm done now for a while. If you want your small combos to have more headroom, cutting ability and some big machete attitude, The G12C's are the way to go."
