Harley Benton G112 Celestion V30 5-stars Reviews

Sensible Cab

I am a hobbyist who was looking for a 1x12 cab to use with small amps. This one is just what I had in mind. Sounds great and looks better than I thought it would. Made it through shipping in perfect condition. Well worth the affordable price.

Cool cab

Cheap but great sounding cab with Celestion speaker. Use it with Blackstar 1w head.

what are you waiting for?

When I decided that I wanted to go with a head+cab combination, I was very indecisive about what cab to buy, because there are a lot of good options at a very convenient price,

then this little caught my attention, not only for its speaker (the famous Celestion V30, arguably the most used speaker today) but also for the asking price.

It seemed too real to be true, so I went ahead and read reviews and watched many videos talking about it and I soon came to the realization that this was the real deal.

It might have a couple of veery little scratches here and there in the tolex, but who cares?? they are hard to spot.

The carrying handle is sturdy and the speaker just sounds amazing, both clean and distorted.

I could not ask for more!

absolutely a great price and sound!

cabinet is well made ,sounds great , i see a 2 speaker version in the near future

Blown away

This cabinet come with a 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speaker at €133... that means that the whole cabinet costs allmost as much as the speaker alone does. That is unbelievable...

Apart from the price the cab sounds awesome! I hooked it up to my hughes and kettner tubemeister deluxe 20 and the tone was amazing. I use it in my home studio and i am really happy with the results.

If you 're looking for a low cost cabinet don't think twice. You 'll be amazed with the sound!

Great Speaker

This little cabinet has a Celestial Vintage 30 speaker inside that gives great sound. Not too heavy. Great value.

Very very good

It has amazing sound. More than value for money.

Not the best build quality but its has Celestion Vintage V30 inside. You can sell it or you can use it on another cab.

Clean are descent, distortion is good.

Bought this cab and I'm using it with the Bantamp Zombie amp. Sound quality is crisp and clear, leading me to believe it's a very high quality speaker - I couldn't be happier about it.

The cab itself appears well built as it is heavy and solid, however the mesh in the front seems to be the lowest quality component in the whole build, but in my view, this is not a deal breaker at all.

I highly recommend this cab, and i think it would be hard to find a similar quality item at a lower (or similar) price. I'm extremely happy with the purchase!

Impressed so far

This a great 1X12 cab. Sounds great and build quality looks good .

ALL I CAN SAY IS HOLY GOODNESS SAUCE!!!

OH MY GOD!!!! THIS CAB IS SUPREME QUALITY IN MY BOOK!!! THE TONE ON THIS IS SIMPLY OF THE CHAIN CRAZY AWESOME GOODNESS.!!!!! PERFECT TONE,CLARITY AND THE BEST PART IS THE PRICE !!! DEFFINATELY GETTING ANOTHER ONE OF THESE BAD BOYZZZZ!!!! RUNNING IT THROUGH A JOYO ZOMBIE AND GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE FOR MY JOYO VIVO(5150).. I HONESTLY CANNOT SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOT THIS PRODUCT. MUCH RESPECT MAKING A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE WORKING CLASS MUSICIAN... GOD BLESS...

Extremely good for it's price

It sounds great, and has a good price.

the only setback ive had with this is that the cover of the wood is starting to peel off.. seems that the glue they used for it doesnt hold that well.

If in doubt, do not think much, buy this one

I have been using this cabinet for about a year and I am surprisingly pleased with it. First things first, this is not an entry-level product despite its price. It has a good built quality but of course most importantly it sounds amazing.

Thanks to its real Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, one can generate amazing clean tones but it can also handle heavy, super-saturated tones pretty easily. I was also happily surprised that it can perform very well under modern/djent tones with ridiculously low drop-tunings.

It does not sound boxy, it does not sound muddy, and it can retain its sound quality even under very loud inputs.

I do not see any reason for replacing this cabinet unless it is irreparably broken.

As the title says, if you are in doubt, buy this one. Nothing comes close to it in this price range and it sounds better than many of the highly-priced cabinets.

A no brainer!

Update 24/05/20, original review below:

Due to the current situation of Covid-19, I am in one country and most of my gear is n another with not much chance of getting it anytime soon. As I needed a cab I took my own advice that buying this product is a no brainer, so now I have two of them in different countries...

So scaling down from a JCM900 and 4x12 cab, because who needs that in this day and age (joke), I was looking around for a cheap, reliable setup that doesn't require a truck to move it. Doing the usual research on the ubiquitous Internet video channel, I came across various reviews of Harley Benton cabs with Celestion speakers at ridiculous prices.

As the speaker itself costs only 10€ less than this unit I figured I had nothing to lose and ordered it.

After a few weeks playing with the G112 vintage I can say that buying it is a no brainer in my situation - something for rehearsal, small gigs, home playing.

I've been using it so far with an Orange Micro Dark and getting some great tones with it. These days I mainly play baritones and have been playing Danelectro and Gretsch baris through it and the speaker handles those looow sounds well. Have also been using it with a Tele, an Epiphone Sheraton and even a Taylor acoustic and the Celestion handles all those different tones perfectly ;-)

The unit build quality seems good and I would not be worried about gigging with it at all. Maybe it's not the best looking thing around, but I got it for the tone not the aesthetics. It's a pity there is no way to run two of these cabs together, but seriously this is great product at a gift of a price. Highly recommended.

The best Cab for the money!

No need to look for another Cab if you don't have the money to buy a Mesa Cab!

It has everything you need from a V30 cab!

I wish it was closed back but other than that top choice!

Great speaker cabinet

This is simply the best deal you are going to get on a 12'' guitar speaker cabinet with a celestion vintage 30 speaker even with shipping nothing comes close, sounds great

Great value

Solid cabinet and a great speaker. The only weak spot could be the handle, the quality of everything else is just fine! Don’t be fooled by the brand name or price. This is a perfectly good cab!

Cheap, Awesome, need I say more?

The praises of this cab has been sung by YouTubers for months now, and it does not disappoint, for the price, it's a really nice cab, killer sound, lightweight for transport (light gigging and/or band practices)

Perfect for Rock, Hard Rock and Metal with the proper amp head (I use a JoYo zoMBie), I am really happy with my purchase.

Outstanding value for money

You would pay more for the speaker elsewhere than you will here for the cabinet plus the speaker which is, to me, the best all-round speaker you can get. It's a geniune Vintage 30 in a solid, well made cabinet which sounds fantastic. Would definitely buy another Harley Benton cab without a moments hesitation.

Unbelievable quality and value

I purchased a small 5W amp head for personal use and have been shopping for a quality speaker cabinet to go with it. I've looked at cabinets from major manufacturers that cost 3 times what this did, and decided to take a chance based on reviews I've read and on YouTube. I'm glad I did, the sound and build quality is phenominal. It is VERY loud with the amp cranked up, excellent highs and great base response at all volumes. The only part that doesn't feel "top quality" is the handle, and it is good enough. Replacement handles are available on Amazon if it is an issue. I've been carrying it around for almost a month with no problem. I would buy it again, and I would highly recommend it
