Harley Benton G112 Celestion V30 Reviews

Awesome!

I had convinced myself in searching online that you could not have good speakers and cheap in the same sentence. This G112 with V30 speakers fits exactly those requirements. Highly recommended for players looking for a practice sized cab with an great tone at an affordable price. i pair it with my micro dark amp head and it can easily power small venues of about 50 pax. only downside is the tolex quality is a bit on the below average side, but i can totally live with that for this price (plus you can always re-tolex it, no problemos)

How do they do it

Don?t scoff at the name and that?s it?s not a well known brand. This is Private Label at its best. It?s has a celestial speaker and for this price it?s almost theft, do not hesitate to try this and if you don?t like it the speakers worth the money just for that.

Great sound, best price

I use it for practice, for rock and metal. It sounds great, and for the price, there's probably nothing better.

Great sound, solid build.

Unbelievable value and high quality.

I use this for recording with an older fender valve head and a hand wired Princeton. I love to vintage 30 sound for sparkly cleans and deep lows. The cab is solidly built, and visually pleasing, no flaws and it doesn't look cheap or out of place with expensive gear.

This should be an easy choice to buy. I honestly can't think of any downside to this purchase.

Amazing for the money.

Bought this Harley Benton G112 Vintage as I wanted a 1x12 speaker cabinet to go with my Bugera T50. To find it is just a fraction more expensive that the speaker on its own is just amazing. I have ordered a Hot Covers (UK) case for it and will be gigging with it as soon as it arrives. You just can'y go wrong for the money.

Great little cab!

I'm giving the cab a 5/5 simply because it's small, light, has a great speaker and it does absolutely what it's meant to do. This is great for anyone who needs a small and portable rig. I'm using it with a Bias Amp Head and it rips!

Highly recommended!

Awesome little cab

Sounds as good as any big name cab. Its got a real celestion V30 under the hood and its made of plywood, not MDF. You won;t go wrong with this little monster.

Amazing cab!

I wasn't sure about this cab at first, but let me say, it sounds amazing. The build quality is solid and the it looks good. I am driving it with a H&K Tubemeister 18. For the money, you can't go wrong. The V30 sounds great with nice low ends, plentiful mid and sweet highs. Even with my Tele the highs don't sound harsh or brittle.

Great cabinet

I am using this cabinet with my BluGuitar amp1 head. Sometimes on its own and sometimes as an extension cab from my BluGuitar Nanocab. I am really impressed with the sound. The cabinet is quite heavy and my only slight criticism would be that the handle seems a little thin to support such weight. It may be fine but I try to support it from underneath when carrying it to avoid putting strain on the handle. An incredible bargain overall.

This a cheap, yet solid and well-sounding cabinet. I've used it for a few months for playing at home and it works really well on lower volumes - unfortunately I didn't have a chance to crank it up and see how it deals with a rehearsal situation, but I suppose it should be more than enough. Probably the best price for value at this point.

Perfect

The known quality of Vintage 30s in a harley benton killer price. Totally recommended

Great Bit of Kit

Ordered this , by reading other peoples reviews , and would like to thank those of you that have reviewed this great bit of kit , superb sound very pleased indeed goes great with my Orange Or15h , also thanks to the staff at Thormanns delivery time was excellent recommended A+++

Perfect for the price

Pros:

First of all the speaker is known for it quality. Secondly it has a nice construction for its price. Generally its a very good cab

Cons:

It had a paper worning inside that said that it may react with your carpet if you leave it long time on it because of the material if its small legs downside. I didnt notice anything yet like this for one month use approx

Very good amp

Received this amp within 2 weeks, even with expected shipping delays. Very good quality, and amazing price for a vintage 30 speaker.

Great cab for the money

I use this cab mostly with my Joyo Bantamp Bluejay (a great affordable setup) with my Epiphone SG. I have come love this setup, as it offers very clear sound. I can only evaluate it through this context as I don't own another decent amp.

After a long time using only sub par transistor practice amps, I can finally hear what I'm playing. I think it has made be a better and more expressive guitar player.

The build quality is good enough, if not better, for the way I use it, mostly parked in one space, not really moving for gigs.

very cheap but not satisfing me

For the price you'll buy just the cone (at the time I bought it it was fitted with a Vintage30) so the cab itself comes free and what do you expect for free?

The cab is well built, looks good and it's solid.

However I find it to bee too bassy, woofy. Never been able to get what I need even changing the cone (currently with a G12 Greenback).

But this is just my opinion and my taste (I play it most of the time in a small room at low volume and I play mostly blues of jazz, at least I try to...).

Amazing quality at this price!

I?m very happy with this speaker! I bought this speaker to go with my Bugera G5. It is a perfect match and they look great together. It is perfect for home recording and I would definitely gig with this too!

I think this cabinet is amazing for the price. I really like the Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. It has a lovely rich full sound. Compared it to my Mesa 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s. Obviously there?s a big difference between a 4x12 and 1 x12 cabinet but I could still hear the similarities in the voicing of the speakers.

The cabinet construction seems very solid although the handle feels a bit cheap. But it has not let me down. The fabric the amp is covered in appears to be somewhat thin and not be very durable so you just have to be careful when handling it.

So overall I would definitely recommend this cabinet! I love the clean look and I think it is well worth the price. I don?t think any other cabinet in this price range can touch the quality of this cabinet!

Does the Job at a Great Price

This cabinet simply does the job at a great price.

The speaker sounds very good once it has been played for awhile. Being an open back allows the cabinet to fill the room with sound. It can get a little bass heavy if placed too close to the wall, but that's expected.

The covering is kind of thin, but is fine for home use. It might not hold up to a lot of rough handling. The overall construction is quite good, though.

I don't see how you get better at this price, even after paying the shipping to the U.S.

Great cab !!

Yes if I were to buy just the speaker from my local guitar shop then it would cost me more. So i get a free cab and shipping for nothing !! Sounds like it should really nice compared to my guitar combo 10" speaker. It really fills the room with warm bass and crisp treble. I love it !!

No need to buy any other..

I bought this cab to use with an orange dark terror amp. I coludnt be happier, I am fully satisfied with the sound I get. Sound is full and loud also with plenty of bass. I usually try to play with lower volumes and both the amp and this cabinet are doing a great job. There is nothing not to like. Apart from cosmetic reasons I dont see a need to buy any other branded cabinet. They are all plywood and 99% of them use same celestion speakers. I think this one is a perfect product especially when you think the price.
