G212 Celestion V30 : Great Cab for the price!!!

9 years ago

When I bought this CAB, I knew it would sound very good based on the fact that it has Vintage 30 speakers inside. What I didn't know, is how the quality of the CAB itself would be.Build Quality - This is an extremely well crafted CAB. The fit and finish are as good as a several other CABS I have that cost me a lot more money. The corners are perfectly square and solidly built. The closed back is very well done. The Tolex covering was applied very well, even and smooth all around. The front grill cloth was applied very well, and looks great. The built in recessed carrying handles are heavy duty, perfectly installed and they look and function very well. The "Harley Benton" Logo looks great on this CAB as well. Sound Quality and Features - The sound quality from this CAB and the V30's is incredible. I'm a Blues/Rock player and have used this CAB with several different valve heads at varying volume levels. This CAB performs amazingly well with anything from a monster 120 watt valve head, to a Micro Valve 20 Watt head. The CAB has great tone at virtually all volume levels. To my ear, this CAB cover the entire tone spectrum perfectly. Super nice crisp highs, warm and inviting mids, and just the right amount of low end Bass. My favorite thing about the sound quality is the ability to hear the articulation so very well. That is just incredible. The input options on the back of the CAB are simple, yet very useful. Conclusion - It's hard to believe that I was able to buy such a well made, great looking and awesome sounding CAB for such a great price. I've used this CAB a lot since purchasing it. It's reliable, heavy duty, and best of all, I've had a ton of really nice compliments on it. I was thinking that over a period of heavy use, it might fail in one way or another, but so far, it's been a work horse. If you like the sound of the Vintage 30 Speakers, this is clearly a CAB I can recommend with zero hesitation. Oh and had it to my door within 8 days, all the way to the USA. If I could give it more stars for overall quality, sound, and value, I would. I love it.
