The Heritage Series G12-65 was originally created in the late 70s using more modern materials, combining aggressive crunch and mid-range warmth which made it a favourite for blues and early 80s style hard rock players. It is widely regarded as one of the best guitar speakers ever made for 4x12 cabinets, and is also famously used by Robben Ford.

It has a fast attack and a tightly controlled low end. The precisely tuned mid-range and crisp defined top-end contribute to an aggressive crunch sound that punches through the mix while the mid-range warmth and detail give weight and depth to single notes. It's smooth low-end also makes it an outstanding pairing with the crispness of the Vintage 30.
