Harley Benton G112 Celestion V30 4-stars Reviews

Good

This works well for me at home

8/10

A really good cab for it's price, there is nothing to add, it works really well, if you use in a little bedroom like me you have to buy some sound absorbing panel to glue on the wall behind the cab

Excellent Value

I have never had the opportunity to play this speaker cab at loud volumes but have used it at home with a 15 watt tube head and it is decent and capable. At this price it is a fantastic deal !!!

Great choice for its price

The Celestion Vintage 30 speaker is enough to buy this cab. The construction is quite good, although it could be better.

The sound is good and after about six months of use, I have not noticed any problems.

For its price it is a great choice, for someone who does not want to spend more money.

Well worth the price.

The appeal, of course, is the Greenback speaker. It's a classic for a good reason. I wasn't too sure if this was going to cut it for me, but being on a tight budget, I decided to buy this and figure it out later.

I was not disappointed! I took the time to "break in" the speaker properly, and then tried some recording with it and it sounds as it should, great! The cab is not too heavy, and is not too big either.

I have a smaller studio space, and this fits well within the confines of my current space.

I am using the G112 mainly for home recording purposes, so I can not comment on durability of the Tolex on the cab, but one can only assume that gradual wear and tear will do what it does.

If you need an extra cab with an excellent speaker, or if you want to add another sound to your amp, this makes a whole lot of sense. Plus, the price makes it hard to argue with.

Good cab for some gigs

cab is good, has a lot of thump, light, sounds nice, only problem is the spekaer needs alot of breaking up till it sounds right, out of the box it sounds shrill and not plesant

overall good cab for long runs and simple gigs

Good.

It sounds pretty good to my ears. I haven't used an external cab for years, so I don't have much to compare it to. It sounds better than the speakers in my combo amps. More bottom end thump too. Build quality is ok. It feels pretty solid. Some of the trim is not perfect but that's nit picking.

I'm glad that I bought it, it does the job.

V-30, what else can I say?

Dude, this thing needs some air! Great for performing at bigger venues.

Good rock sound

I would recommend this cabinet for someone playing high gain music, as it takes drive sound really good. I, myself, was looking more for a wider range of sounds cabinet, that would do well from rock to jazz, but obviously this isn't what I was looking for. At least for my taste. But I had to try it, for the price )

For jazz (traditional one) I would say it sounds pretty thin, and misses a lot that low end. But this thing makes it good for higher gain sound, as it doesn't muffle the overall sound, when played overdriven.

This being sad, I am not saying it is a bad cabinet, it just doesn't suit my style. I would say the cabinet itself is pretty well built. Plywood, thick, a real Celestion Vintage 30 inside.

But I would love to see a more of a all-purpose sounds cabinet from Harley Benton, less focused on high gain, but also with a good quality speaker from Celestion, or other top brands.

Barebones cab that gets it done

Nothing extraordinary about this speaker cabinet. Very basic; just plug in your amp and you're good to go. Heavy but well built.

It has no extra features. This is just a cab.

Sound quality is perfectly fine for live performances.

Build quality is excellent. I've used it for 4 years and it's still going strong.

Handles

It could use 2 extra handles on the sides so it could be easier for transportation

Insane amount of value

Unfortunately Harley Benton doesn't make a 112 closed back cabinet with a Vintage V30 speaker, so I decided to buy this model. Even though this cab doesn't fill my needs, it's still a great product. I will probably get the slanted closed back 212 in the near future instead.

A bit boomy

All is fine construction, sound, weight. The only weirdness lies on the bass and. I detect some resonating frequency that creates some roominess that I have to find and cut it in post or from the amp. Other than that excellent.

Very nice

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.

Solid ad F@@k !!!!!

Just perfect for home use, pretty solid for gigging as well. Is not too heavy but either is not too thin/cheap, so it have good resonance and you can carry her around in your car without the fear he can get damaged. the V30 inside sounds very good, no rly need to go for more expensive 1x12 cap if you're looking for a v30 sound

Great cab for the price! The speaker alone is worth more than I paid for the whole thing.

Its good

Dont get me wrong for the price this Cab is great but sounds a bit boxy to me. This might be my amp or just my personal taste. Otherwise this is a great speaker.

great for the price

Exactly what I was looking for, small powerful, is good for home

Best bang for your buck

A Celestion speaker for this price? That's a bargain! The sound it produces won't give away the fact that you paid next to nothing for it either. I use this for practicing with a low wattage amp and could not be happier.

My only complaint is the fact that the Harley Benton logo is a bit tacky and really sticks out (you can't remove it without leaving screw holes), but the rest of the cabinet has a real classy look. Besides, sound is more important than looks and that's where the G112 Vintage shines. Recommended!

Good cab for the price

I've been gigging with this cab and my 4,5W tube amp for the last year or so. Works like a charm and sounds good.

Cover material rips quite easily so be careful with that.

At this price point I don't think you can do much better.
