G212 Celestion V30 : Great cab for the money

10 years ago

I bought this product after reading many positive comments about it on recording and guitar forums etc. It really is a bargain for this price. If you were to buy just the speakers inside it'd cost about the same as this whole thing?!

The finish on mine is decent. Very nearly perfect, if it wasn't for a very faint scratch / mark near one corner on the front. It was basically unnoticeable from anywhere further than a metre away anyway, and after a quick bit of colouring in with a black Sharpie, you'd never know it was ever there.

It's solidly built, no rattling parts when I turn it up yet... and the speakers are great all-rounders for clean stuff right through super high gain rock and metal. Nice, tight and punchy for heavy rhythm playing which was my main requirement!

The plate with the inputs on the back is attached firmly and the sockets are good and sturdy too. Recessed enough to not stick out miles once a jack is plugged in.

I've had more expensive branded 4x12s before, obviously they are an entirely different beast. But I don't need anything bigger than a 2x12 right now, so this cab is great for me, sounds good, looks the part, very reasonably priced for what you get. They've seemingly not skimped on speaker quality or on build quality so I'd definitely recommend it at this price point!
