G112 Celestion V30 : Superb Cabs!

I bought two of these cabs to use with a Line 6 Helix and a Palmer Macht power amp running in stereo. I've been gigging with them for about 18 months - 40 or so gigs later and they're still going strong and sounding great! The cabs are very well-constructed: proper birch ply - the tolex isn't all that thick but it's still holding up nicely (I made some protective covers for transporting the cabs). Obviously the main reason I went for these cabs is because they contain a proper Celestion Vintage 30. I can confirm that the Celestions in these cabs are exactly the same and sound exactly the same as all the other V30s I've used a relied upon over the years. Live, these cabs sound great - the Celestions project and cut nicely (just like they should) - lots of detail (the Vintage 30 really is a fantastic speaker although they absolutely have to be broken in at volume in order to loosen them up - until then they can sound quite bright and hard - so crank them up!!) and the semi-open back design of the cab gives a nice amount of spread without sacrificing low-end punch. A while ago I swapped out the Vintage 30 in one of the cabs for a Celestion A-Type for a bit of sonic variation and this driver works exceptionally well in the cab (the V30 from the Harley Benton now lives, and still sounds great, in one of my other cabs). These cabs are a bargain!
