Harley Benton G212 Vertical Celestion V30 5-stars Reviews

Flawless !

The quality of construction is awsome ! Sounds great with my Monoprice Stage Right 15w ! I highly recommend !

Best for the price

Since I knew there was a Harley Benton cab with Celestion v30, I feel like I had to try. Today it arrives and I just want to say that it worth it. Price/ quality. 100%

This is impossible to beat for the price

Sounds great. Mine is built really well too

Can't believe the price, but believe the quality

I've had this cab for a little over a year I believe. It is the only guitar cab I own now. It can handle plenty of power. My power amp is 300 watts on my pedal/rack set up and it's never once faltered when I've cranked it. It still sounds great at low volume when I practice at home. It got to me in Texas in 3 days - no lie. All the way from Germany. The box was beat to hell (Thank you US Customs) but the packaging inside held and protected the cab. It's vintage 30s everyone. We all know the sound, and they're the real deal. The only reason I don't give the quality a 5 is the tolex is thin (I personally don't care) and the grill cloth frame is very flimsy. Don't expect to be able to pull it up and put it back on more than maybe two times. I did it once and my bottom right corner doesnt connect right. But who cares?? It cost me 100.00 less than what buying two V30's would cost me. And now that they have the Greenbacks I will be buying one of those! I'll probably check out the bass cabs as well.

Best 212 cab

Sound is stellar, build quality is excellent except for one thing, the front grid has a crack on one side, it’s only noticed when you pull out the grid, which I do regularly for recording or changing speakers

Top Notch

I was really impressed how well the cab sounds it beat all my expectations but I was even more impressed how fast it shipped and was in perfect condition. I live in the states and it got to my house in two days I will definitely be shopping here for any of my guitar needs from here on out. Thank you

Great cab

Very good build quality, great speakers. Would recommend.

A bargain

Sounds as it ought to, superb carrying handles makes it feel not so heavy.

Great value!

Nothing to complain about, sounds good, managable form factor.

Impossible to find a better choice

Choices for verticle 2x12 cabs are not as plentiful as they should be. Luckily this cab is available, super affordable, well built and well designed.

I was considering a mesa cab and the electro-harmonix option but, this one had them both handedly beat, in terms of price. This cab also had them matched in terms of features. It's hard to say "no" to a Vintage 30 loaded cab that is more affordable that the speakers alone.

I have been using it with a PRS HDRX20 or a Sovtek Mig-50 and it's been delivering the goods on every gig. I couldn't be more pleased.

Excellent Cabinet

I've had this cabinet for several months now, and I have no complaints. I don't even think the speakers are broken in yet, and it sounds amazing, just running a Joyo Meteor at 1/3 volume. Highly recommended.

Great cabinet

Love this cabinet, it delivers great sound for a relatively cheap price.

It looks good, sounds amazing and feels quite sturdy.

If you're looking for a v30 cab i see no reason to buy any other brand at this point.

Fantastic

Just buy it. You’ll be happy. It’s like kittens and rainbows for your ears.

This cab Kicks!!

The two Celestion speakers alone are worth the price of this cab. I have this cab hooked up to an HK36gm and it rocks totally.

Thanks H.B. for a job well done!

Great Cab for an Outstanding Price!

Overall this cabinet has a solid construction with a solid tone.

Packed with 2 vintage 30's this baby knows how to rock. I hooked this cab up to my new Soldano SLO Mini head (30W SS) and it has plenty of sound, isn't the weight of a 4x12, it has handles for carrying, and as someone who loves angled vertical 2x12, this beast was killer for the price.

Definitely would recommend!

I don't know how they can sell this for the price they do! Amazing. I have been playing through this for close to 2 years and its still the best cab for the price point anywhere!

It's amazing price, even if shipping to USA is crazy high

Pros

-inexpensive cab loaded with vintage 30s

-sounds amazing: I had a 412 loaded with seventy 80s and it did not sound near as good.

-construction is much more solid than I thought. A lot of YouTube reviews say that the construction isn't great and they wouldn't gig with it but if you aren't tossing the thing and are treating it with care (like most things you should do) then it should last a long time.

Cons:

-thw only con is that the grill cloth is so thick that when I try to mic it up, light barely shines through. I have to mic it after removing the grill cloth.

Great quality for the price

Can't beat the price. Classy Vintage 30s. The cab is decent too. Also love how you can pull off the front super easily.

Rocks small stages

I use this on stage in a 3 piece rock group and it kicks asses! mine was flawless when I received it. The only negative is the tolex is paper-thin but I'm gonna call it a positive because now I can put a bunch of dumb stickers on it....it really is perfect if your moving around a lot playing gigs and practicing a lot and don't want to lug a 4x12 around.....shucks I may get another one of these and do a mini-stack and it would still be easier than hauling around a 4x12 IMO.

In case you are wondering I've had it and used regularly for about two years and believe it will last me a good long time.

Fantastic

Pros for this cab

Well built. Very solid construction.

Easy to carry with perfectly placed side handles (much better than top handled cabs)

Very loud

Excellent sound

Best bang for buck on the market.

I use this cab with an Orange Pedal Baby and a Helix Floor. I've done a few gigs and the sound is fantastic. This setup will get you louder than a drummer, with headroom to spare.

Compared to a Hughes and Kettner TM212 2x12 cab (this one has V30's too) the Harley Benton is slightly brighter and has slightly less bass.

Can't speak for longevity yet, but I imagine this will hold up for my entire gigging life!

Highly recommended.
