G212 : Great Cab

6 years ago

As many others have said its a great cab, not just for the price. The mono/stereo switching is nice to have. I bought this cab with the intention of replacing the speakers. The only complaint I have is that getting the old speakers out was a headache. The use nuts with nylon to lock them in place. This is nice if you are keeping it stock as it keeps the speaker from shaking loose. However, the nut held on to the bolt too tightly so that when turning the nut, the bolt would simply spin with it. You cannot access the bolt head without removing the grill cloth. So I had to damage the bolt using vice grips to get the nut off. It was a hassle but I eventually did get the speaker out and I rethreaded the bolt and replaced the nut with a normal one. Not what I was expecting but for the price, I can forgive this. I put V-Types in and it sounds great. Seems solid. Not too heavy. How they can make these things and ship them to US for $130+33, I'll never know. But I am thankful. I do think they should consider selling a speakerless version as I imagine many replace the speakers. The stock speakers are ok. Compared to good Celestions you can really hear they are not great. But the cab is quite good and well worth the price. I recommend V-types as a great all around speaker btw. Cheaper but more balanced than their siblings.
