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...

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.

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

Harley Benton G112 Vintage

Great product, super value and fast shipping! Highly recommended!

Great Cab

Relay good Cab, for the money

nice cheap cab with V30

I got nothing to compare to with this speaker as this is my first 12 inch cab/ V30 celestion cab except for my solid state 20 watt combo amp...and it totally destroy that poor combo. Its quite more bassy like more air it pushes and its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy louder (using a 5 watt tube amp Bugera G5). The construction is sturdy enough, the tolex is a nice touch. Im very happy with the purchase plus its so freaking affordable and no cons here from me.

Metal Cab for Metal Heads!

I got recommended this speaker by YouTuber Spectre Sound Studios AKA - Glen Fricker. Long story short it worked out and I love this speaker, and with it being loaded with a REAL Celestion V30 Speaker I cant possibly complain! It's Perfect for playing hard Rock and Heavy Metal! Well Worth the money! :)

Cheap way to get a great quality speaker.

This is a great cabinet and speaker for a great price.

Unbelievable Value

Heading says it all.

An absolute steal for the money!

A well built lightweight 1x12 cab, a celestion vintage 30, wrapped in tolex with a sturdy handle, all for cheaper than the speaker itself goes for.. kind of hard to not give this 5/5 stars!
