Great cab

Great 1x12 cabinet of 18mm birch ply construction, front loaded with Celestion V30 speaker. Use it with Marshall 2061x, love the tone,

until i got 2x12 cab.

excellent value !

Cab is solidly build and sounds as a cab with a Celestion vintage 30 should sound.

Use it on a Mesa Boogie mini rectifier. Perfect match.

Excellent addition to my amp

My current amp is a Fender Super Champ X2 which I like the sound of and it's a nice pedal platform. Adding this cabinet (which is at an amazing price for a full cab featuring this speaker) really fills out the sound and makes me realise what I was missing in the standard 10" speaker that came with the combo. I've tried some switches playing back on my looper pedal and it sounds so much better with this cab. I'd originally ordered the 212 until I re-measured and found I probably didn't have the room. Still wish I had it but maybe one day - but this has made my playing so much more enjoyable and I'd recommend it for anyone wanting a fuller sound with more low-end from their amp.

Amazing Cab for an Amazing Price!

Ive had this cab for almost a year and it sounds amazing! Real vintage 30 and sounds amazing. Definitely worth every penny and the best cab ever made for this price

Excellent budget cab

I bought this cab to replace the 8" speaker cab that's paired with the Orange Micro Terror, which is an excellent, no-frills amp but the 8" cab just doesn't do it justice.

I was looking for something budget friendly and was rec'd the G112 more than once. Even with conversion to CAD and shipping to Canada, the cabinet is absolutely worth it. It sounds amazing and suits apartment playing, but will clearly hold up to gigging as well.

As others have said, it is ugly--the tolex isn't great and aesthetically it's... yeah. That said, the two logo plates screw off easily, which helps with the look if that's important to you. I didn't buy it for looks though I may end up painting it.

Handles

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

why not?

i mean, the cab is (as of now) as expensive as a loose Vintage 30, so that is definitely a plus, but besides that, it definitely sounds better than a Seventy-80, it sounds a lot warmer, the V30. And also very solidly build like my HB-80R, not damage in shipping nor factory either!

Great price for a real V30

Well made, solid construction and a great price for a V30 speaker.

Incredible value

Such a good price, great build quality and great sound. Definitely more the vintage vibe but not muddy at all. Can't believe how cheap this is sounds as good/better than other big name brands.

Best Deal You Will Ever Find

I think this cab speaker combo is what brings alot of attention to this company. When you see they are selling a Celestion Vintage 30 (arguably the most famous and best guitar speaker of all time) with a cabinet for less than just buying the speaker it seems too good to be true. Well it isn't It isn't just a real V30, the cab box is an excellent made product too. I have no idea how they pulled this off again but this is the best and most afforable cabinet I've ever owned. The V30 sounds amazing and the cab box is excellent made. Still in awe. Buy it if you are look for a good cab right now. Don't even debate I can guarantee you will not find a better deal. I can't wait to buy more of their products and keep on their company to see what other deals they come out with in the future.

TOP SPEC AT LOW PRICES

V30 SPEAKER in a 1 x 12 cab at a fraction of hughes and kettner / mesa prices..

Wood obviously not as good but who cares this little bad boy imo is the best value for money cab money can buy.. hands down.. I am a bit of a HB fan boy tbh and this does not let them down.. by far one of their best product to date. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. just double check its the one with the v30 and your golden

Absolutely stunning in relation to the price

Great cab. I have an old Vox AC30 and decided to buy this cab to use together with a Vox MV 50 CL Clean at home and to bring with me at some gigs cause the AC30 is really too heavy to bring out from the rehearsal. What so say, the Celestion inside together with the MV 50 reminds me the same tones of the AC30 and it is perfect to play at home and to easily switch to the other amp. I can only recommend it even if i haven't tried with other amplifiers. The cabinet material seems sturdy, heavy to lift but the handle is firmly attached to the cabinet. I already scratched the simil leather/plastic cover on a wall, but for this price you can't pretend anything more. I really love the celestion speaker inside it and the amount of sounds you can get is huge... I can only blame the lack of an output jack in case you want to go in parallel on a second cab but it's something i personally don't need at all.. Really really a great object for what you pay for...

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!

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!
