G212 : A reliable workhorse

I bought this cab as an upgrade to the whole of my rig, as I was buying a head to go with it and going to replace my old Roland microcube. Needless to say the difference in power of sound was astounding, with the ability to push all the air in very large rooms being suddenly available. The cab has 2 surprisingly full sounding cheap 100watt speakers, meaning you can run some very high wattage amps through it easily without taking up all of the space in the house, and combined with the closed back plywood build of the cabinet make it a very good cabinet for vintage and modern metal. This is because it picks up any changes in midrange very well and also has a very good bass response. Not so tight it sounds thin, but not so flubby it sound unfocused. It also breaks up nicely when pairing it with amps such as the Orange Micro Terror, giving good ambient bluesy tones if you throw a reverb or short delay in front of the amp. The cabinet feels as sturdy as an iron beam, and could easily withstand several good knocks and drops before needing a bit of repair work. All in all, I'd consider this a fantastic first time 2x12, as well as a very good way to test out different speakers as it has a stereo mode that allows easy A/B comparisons.
