G212 Celestion V30 : AC30 Alive

I recently reactivated an early 1960's AC30 (pre-top boost) amp chassis. Since I only had the chassis, no speakers, I needed a set of speakers. To this end I opted for the HB G212 Celestion equipped cab.

It is a chunky cab that could not be described as small, but it is exceptionally well made, easy to open up (be careful taking off the front grill... the velcro is quite strong) and easy to adapt....I had to hardwire the speakers for 8 Ohms (spks in parallel) to suit my AC30 head... only 8 Ohm and 16 Ohm output available.

For the price it is an exceptional deal and so far I am very happy with the sound. I do use a "Weber Mass" speaker attenuator so I can crank the AC30 yet keep the neighbours, wife, kid and pets happy.

Really sweet.
