G212 Celestion V30 : Quite simply my new 'go to' cab

7 years ago

I've used so many different cabs over the years and I always seem to come back to the ones with Celestions (V30's or greenbacks) in them. This cab is insane! It is cheaper than buying two V30 speakers! Economies of scale are a wonderful thing.

The build quality of this cab is spot on and its clean, tidy and relatively lightweight, which is vital for gigging and lugging it around to sessions etc. However it is the sound that is most important and this cab is everything you would expect of a 2 x 12 V30 laden enclosure. It has all the crisp clarity, tight mid-range and bottom that you need for that vintage guitar tone, but it works equally well with modern high gain amps. Obviously it's tuned and works best with tube amps, but I have also tried it with Mosfet solid state and it retains its tonal qualities here too. You would be hard pressed to find anything up to this standard at twice or even three times the price. What's not to love about this great offering from Harley Benton!
