G112 Celestion V30 : Very nice

7 years ago

This cab is, as you can see incredibly good value for money. The speaker is a full fat genuine Vintage 30 (obviously the speaker is made in China but what would you expect for the money...) which some love and others don't. Either way, I think that it is a speaker any guitarist should at the very least try out. It sounds fantastic with gain, very tight with a strong mid-range, but it is usable for just about anything.

As for the cab, It is obviously no miracle of craftsmanship, the walls are thin and the tolex looks a bit weird but everything is functional, sturdy and reliable. It really doesn't feel like a premium product, but I'm actually liking it's simplicity since it is my "working" cab and It gets carried around a lot (about three times a week). I like that I don't have to worry about a few scratches here and there which are certainly present after a few months of such use.

I would however rather buy a 16 ohm version since it works better for my setup, so If that was a thing, then that would be quite nice.

Overall, it is a bargain, so if you're considering buying a V30, then get this cab with it virtually for free.
