Duchess 212
This open-backed 2x12 uses a pair of Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speakers. It has all the vibe of your favourite vintage cab, but with a stage- and car-friendly footprint, and easy one-hand carry.
Features
IDEAL FOR
A huge sounding, yet still compact rig when paired with V40 The Duchess, V40 Deluxe and V140 The Super Duchess.
SPEAKER CHARACTERISTICS
The G12M-65 Creamback is less sensitive/efficient (97dB) than the Vintage 30 and also the H-75 Creamback, using a medium-magnet (35 ounce) 12-inch driver. Celestion regard it as a ‘more powerful Greenback’ and that is the perfect description. Expect that classic, ‘woody’ tone and feel to add colour to your medium gain sounds, with a little speaker breakup to boot. Using two together in this cab increases the bottom end strength and power handling, with plenty of ‘3D’, room-filling projection from front and back. There is so much character in this cabinet for classic low/medium gain tones at any volume.
It works perfectly with the V40 family’s unique dynamic and feel.
PLEASE NOTE: V212-VC (black metal corners/black grille cloth) is available by special order

UK MADE CABINETS
Our speaker cabinets are hand built in England using redwood pine for top and sides and quality Baltic birch ply for backs and baffles. Our speaker baffles are angled back by 2-3 degrees to help with projection towards you when you’re playing. They’re finished in black bronco vinyl (cream for the V112C and V212VC) with vintage black woven grille cloth to match aesthetically – and of course tonally – with our heads.
Why choose anything less for your Victory amplifier?
