G112 Celestion V30 : Your can't buy the speaker alone for this price

11 years ago

I have paid more for an Epiphone Valve Jr cabinet and the quality of this cabinet is of that sort of quality.

The speaker is light years better though. I am using this with a VHT Special 6 1x10 combo. It really improves the tone of the amp. I wish I would have bought this back when I still had my Egnater Rebel 30. It would have been a great match.

I can't find anything to complain about, except now I want the Harley Benton G212 Vintage Cabinet too...

2 wk update: still loving it, and matches very well with my Blackstar ID60:TVP. It just gets better as the speaker is breaking in.

2 month update:

I recently decided to fully remove the back parts of the cab. I found that the tolex is very thin and rips easily.

I am not a fan of the jack and decided to upgrade to a Switchcraft to get a more positive engagement. The old jack made it too easy for the cable to come unplugged, which is not good for a tube amp.

I am planning to build a convertible rear baffle to allow me to use this as a closed back and I may swap in my Jensen Mod 12-110 so that I can play my bass through this as well.

Overall I still think this is one of the best values for a 1x12 Cab on the market.
