G212 Celestion V30 : The best cab you will get for the price!

11 years ago

I bought this cab as an upgrade to my Marshall 1936 2x12, as I was looking for something with Celestion V30s.

This cab satisfied my requirements completely and all for an amazing price.

Build quality: This thing is built like a brick. Covered in black tolex, which is slightly thinner than the Marshal but thick enough, with metal corners and metal handles on the sides (Even the Marshall only had plastic handles). Very sturdy and does not feel like anything is going to break. I've actually dropped it once and apart from a small ding in the tolex it held up fine.

Sound: As you would expect from V30s, once broken in it sounds awesome. Just as good as more expensive cabs with V30s. I have it hooked up to a Engl Ritchie Blackmore 100W head and it nails the 80s rock and metal tone I use it for. The 2x12 is more directional than a 1x12 or 4x12, but you can improve the spread by standing it on its side.

Value: Like I said, this is the most value you can get for you money at this price range. It would probably cost you more to buy the 2 V30 speakers on their own!

Overall I'm very happy with this cab and if it was stolen I'd have no hesitation in buying another one.
