Well maded cab

The quality of this speaker cab for the price is unreal and the stock speaker for a no name brand ain’t bad either. I need a cab for my v30 so recommend highly

BUY it!!!!!!

Ok first of all, I have been a guitarist for 30 years, and play professionally electric AND classical guitar, and keyboards. I owned TONS of gear, because I also used to sell it. Nowadays I record my albums in my home recording studio: just a room. I was using a Laney oversized 1x12 shut into a closet with a mic to record with my tube amps. Then I switched to tube amps recorded with IRs through the excellent Harley Benton PA100, which I use solely as a LINE OUT to get the whole amp signal into my IRs. I was pretty happy with that, but I somewhat missed the interaction with a real speaker. I also learned to equalize (but advanced stuff, not basic), so with my new skills I can make a 1x12 sound more like a 4x12. I bought this Harley Benton cab without much expectations, but I found the weight interesting, because I can't have too much weight in the 'closet' or it could break (I keep the cab off the floor to kill the rumble). I was also expecting a smaller cab than the LANEY cab. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this HB cab is NOT smaller, this IS a proper oversized cab, and is much lighter than the Laney. Which is interesting, as the Laney was made of marine grade plywood blah blah, but this one of MDF. But I don't care, because it's lighter, and wood is just wood! If you take care, it should last as long as the Laney or any other expensive cabs. But then I plugged in my beautiful Bugera amps, and WOW. I was expecting a mediocre sound, but the speaker sounds really good, it has nice crisp mids. With the eq, now I have a super responsive, killer 4x12 cab tone. I am definitely using this setup to record my new tracks. I am always pleasantly surprised by the quality and price of Harley Benton gear. I'd be dumb to spend 4 times more on a cab when I can get THIS. It's really excellent! I am a celestion V30 guy but I might actually leave the HB speaker in there, with my EQ skills I can get a killer half stack tone! Once again, bravo, Harley Benton!

update: interestingly, after swapping the HB speaker with an EMINENCE MADE IN USA speaker, I ended up liking the HB speaker more, believe it or not. The Eminence sounded too scooped (it was taken out a Hughes & Kettner combo, not a cheap amp). The hb speaker has more mids, it's easier on the ears. Pretty incredible!

update 2: after fitting a V30, my fav speaker, I am even more impressed by the stock speaker. It's a nice speaker, with lots of warm mids. It's a pro level speaker, it's not a cheap piece of junk. You don't have to change it if you want to save time and money.

First cab for myself and a bargain at that. Being my first cab i cant compare it to anything but i have ran my joyo firebrand through it and its a gret sounding cab.

Great cabinet!

I ordered this just for the cabinet, because I already had a speaker I wanted to use.

Cabinet is of good quality and construction. I used the speaker in another cabinet, and old car subwoofer cabinet that converted to a guitar cabinet, and that sounds great too.

A good value!

A decent can on the cheap.

The price of.this can is unmatched. It is really cheap. I bought this not to be the best sounding unit but to be something low cost that I can leave at rehearsal spaces.

It does the job really well. I've mostly used it with Orange 15w heads, but I find that the speaker is not the best speaker. The cleans are serviceable, but as soon as you add gain (or a distortion pedal) it starts to fall apart. I've broken in the speaker to remove harshness but still it does not sound that good. For me it is good enough (and.i intended to swap the speaker with something else I already have).

The size is smaller than something like Orange 1x12. It's.makes it lighter and easier to carry, but might change the tone.
