G212 Celestion V30 : Fantastic sound, road ready.

11 years ago

I bought this cabinet over a year ago (nearly two years ago now) and I can safely say I've used it almost every day since purchase, not to mention having gigged it almost every weekend since too and dispite a few scratches, it still holds up to my Marshall 4x12.

The cab is very well built. I have brought this to many parts of Ireland for gigs aswell as using it for recording and it's held its own each time. I'm never lost in the mix, and I've had many a sound engineer ask me about it because of how clear my guitar sounds through it. I gig a 100 watt Marhshall head (either JVM 210 or JCM2000 DSL) and this cabs reacts well to both these heads.

As I mentioned, having done some recording on it, I know that these cabs react well under a mic (or several) and aren't hard to get a bad sound from if you are micing them, either in the studio or live.

Another nice feature is being able to run two heads into it, or switching the impedance for say a smaller combo like my Blues Jr from time to time.

The only criticism I may have for this amp is one could argue it doesnt have as much low end response as something say an Orange 2x12, but at the price you pay for this one, I say it holds up very well.

In summary: If you want a good sounding, easy to mic and road durable cab, do not hesitate in getting this.
