Harley Benton G112 Celestion V30 5-stars Reviews

Just. Great.

Nothing to add, except that it's the best cab you could buy at that price, and that it pairs very well with my Peavey 6505MH.

Great 1x12

There's nothing better than that in this price range (It's like a ORNG 1x12 - see for yourself the price difference between the 2)

Excellent product.

I bought this to play my Laney 15W through as I don't rate the speaker in the Laney. This Celestion speaker definitely brings out 'hidden' frequencies and offers a far warmer, fuller tone. It could have been a different amp! Great product and knockouit price for what you get.

amazing sound

After much research I finally decided to buy a speaker cabinet. I was previously using a PA system, mixer\power amp to 20cm bass stage speakers. It is a hard comparison between a dedicated guitar speaker cabinet and a PA system but still, the difference is huge. This Celestion actually gets louder than the PA system which is rated at 100w. I use it for distortion and the sound is amazing. Also, the price is great since the actual speaker is almost 85% of the whole speaker cabinet price.

Absolutely Beautiful!

I got this Cab more than a year ago, and now I'm back to review it, I'm so pleased to have chosen this one and it does sound amazing after it has been broken in and settled, the sound is really well balanced, the build quality is really good, and for the price, it is a no brainer to get this one! like you get a really decent semi-open cab for the price of a Celestion VIntage 30 included!

I mean, It's pretty good.

Back story. Former touring musician, former studio manager, gave up the touring rig, etc. Looking to build up some good value items for home recording.

I'm playing with mini amp heads, like Joyo Bantamps for the most part. This is a great little cab to push with them. It eats up the power these little heads put out and I can really push it and get great sounds from it.

I would have liked there to be a closed back option (didn't need a 2x12, which is closed back) so I may end up refitting a new back panel for it to close it off.

Cosmetically, yeah, it's a little rinky dink. It's not as clean as my old Orange and Boogie cabs. I don't know how it would hold up to traveling use to shows but nothing really holds up unless you get it in a road case and haul it around protected. An uncased guitar sharing a blanket with a cabinet in the back of your mom's minivan is going to go through the grill no matter the brand.

Really nice cabinet

Best bang for the buck out there, even with shipping cost to US. Delivery was incredibly fast. Took less than 1 week to Tampa FL.

Very happy with HB and cabinet.

Cabinet sounds great and no rattles.

vintage 30 cab

good cab to match my low watt head

Katana cabs

Bought a pair of these and a mono split to 2 mono cable for use with a Boss Katana Head... it makes a great mini stack... sounds pretty powerful and easily handles Katana... for the money very good value and still very portable... with 2 cabs I keep one in the house and one at rehearsal space so I just have to port the head

Cheapest 1x12 cab (and my first one too)

Harley Benton, what can I say. The king of cheap and good. I paired it with a Marshall DSL20, and it sounds really good. The binding around the speaker grill was a bit cut but it's not a problem. It looks ok, nothing fancy. It's so good that my cat even tried to sleep in the open back hole.

Great budget cab

This cab sounds great once the speaker is broken in. For the price, I've yet to find a better gig-ready cab.

Such an improvement

I bought this as a replacement for the other Harley Benton cabinet without the Celestion and when this arrived I immediately noticed a huge difference. It's just fantastic for the price.

Awesome Cab, Bad Packing

First off, this cab/speaker is an awesome value and I'm very happy with it. The cab is very sturdy and the speaker is a genuine Celestion V30. The grill cloth is only okay, a bit frayed and cheap feeling. The piping around the front is a little uneven. The tolex is soft but very cheap feeling and not durable.

No brainer at this price

Quality looks fine and the sound is good too. Original Celestion Vintage 30 inside, so there is no need to overthink this.

great cab

Grat value for money, sound is impressive

Great Cab

Great sound, great value.

exceptional value

I only play guitar at home now, all styles from classical to jazz. I had been using a Chinese made 5F1 clone built into a DIY solid wooden cabinet with 10 inch HH speaker. Not so much for jazz where I use a schertler Jam 150. I digress.

I purchased the Harley Benton G112 Vintage which I modified into a combo using the 5F1 clone.

I pulled back the tolex/rexine and cut out the plywood top for the amp.Stuck it back down and fitted the 5 watt amp.

What a difference! I'm even using my Strat and Tele for jazz through this combo instead of the archtop through the Schertler.

It goes without saying that the sound is great for more bluesy or rock type sounds.

The cabinet itself is OK. the struts inside are only stapled but easily remedied with some wood glue and screws. this could be a problem if on the road where it might not stand up to a lot of abuse but for my needs it's perfect.

All in all this is a great bargain and more importantly sounds great

Incredible Cabinet for the price

Unquestionably a great deal for the Celestion Vintage 12" speaker, cabinet isnt too heavy either. only gripe come from the tubing around the mesh, it is not flush as there are defects but Im not complaining, buy this cabinet!

Best 112 Cab you can get for this much of money

I bought it for my Fender DRRI amp as an alternative to the original Jensen speaker. I simply didn't want to bother replacing the driver on the amp.

Build quality and the sound of the speaker is amazing. Black tolex that used is not as good as the one on the Fender amps, not there in nothing to complain - functionality wise -. It is shinier and the texture is flatter comparing to Fender tolex.

I am using both the Jensen and Celestion together as a stack and I am very happy with the volume and color it adds to my sound. It fills the room a lot better which is roughly a 30 m^2 space.

If anything happens to this one, if I decide to buy a cab as a present to a musician friend, I would definitely go with this one again.

Harley Benton G112 V30

I was skeptical because of the price, this is the real deal folks. Get em while they're this cheap!!!
