Harley Benton G212 Vertical Celestion V30 5-stars Reviews

Fantastic Cabinet

I use it with PRS MT15 Mark Tremonti and the sound is amazing!!

Top quality

One of the best amp cabinets I’ve played and for the price is in a league of its own.

Arrived in great condition

A very nice cabinet. Sounds great with my Micro Terror head. Came in great shape, no problems. Would recommend to anyone.

really good amp cab for the price

its provides amazing sound clarity and a rich tone, especially at this price its a steal.

Bang for the buck

Of course not as good as the Mesa cab's I have, But they come close. Really close! And for that price...

Mostly Great

I predominantly use this in my office and it fills the space with a Dark Terror set to about 1. It is nice and full sounding. Not quite as dark as I generally consider Celestions to be but its not bad, just a bit different.

Mine did arrive with a few bumps and imperfections on the tolex but considering it made it to the southern US from Europe in less than a week, I was stunned all the same. Definitely going to buy more Harley Benton gear!

Harley Benton G212 Vintage Vertical

Overall, this was a great purchase, and it sounds great. The box it arrived in was a little bit scuffed up, but other than that, it was a great purchase.

Amazing! Why bother with more expensive brands?

This cab is simply amazing at such a low value compared with other brands. I looked at Orange cabs, but could not justify the price difference.

It's solid, good looking and being vertical it does not occupies much space in my room. And it delivers where it matters, the sound. The celestions really do their job, especially after being broken in.

Oh, and my Marshall Valve head looks killer on top of it.

Only drawback I can find is that it is 8 Ohms only. No option, for 16 Ohm like the horizontal brother

Great speaker cabinet 👍

Many have said this before .

I don’t understand how they can sell these at this price..

AMAZING VALUE

great sound and looks - the quality is very good.

the price of this product is unbelievable for what it offers.

I would definitely buy it again.

A diamond in the rough

Excellent cabinet. It's easy to underestimate this cab because it isn't from a well-known brand, but the Harley Benton cabinets are very good. They sound great with various amp heads and they're surprisingly lightweight, thanks in part to its sturdy metal handles. My only critique would be the build quality, I've bumped this cab into walls a few times and it looks like like tolex can't handle the slightest dings, but I didn't this cabinet for it's looks, I bought it for it sounds which I am very happy with.

love it

Upgraded from that little orange 1x8 cab.

Sounds so much better especially the low end.

I was afraid it might be to loud but it sounds pretty nice on low volumes too.

This is a great cab at a great price.

At the time I purchased mine, it was less expensive than I could have purchased two Celestion Vintage 30s without the cab. It's plywood, not MSD or particle board. It sounds better than my M*rsha** Origin cab. The Vintage 30s are certainly better sounding than the Seventy 80s that reside in the Origin cab.

Harley Benton G212 Vintage Vertical 2x12 Cabinet

Perfect... nothing else to add.

Amazing value for a superb speaker cabinet

This speaker cabinet sounds really, really good. It's sturdily constructed of real wood instead of wood products. It looks very classy and, most importantly, the twin Celestion speakers sound incredible.

I deducted one star from Quality because during shipping one of the small pieces of wood inside the cabinet (used for bracing) came unglued, but I was able to re-glue it after opening the cabinet.

This cabinet has gotten rave reviews on YouTube, and it's easy to understand why. I highly recommend this speaker cabinet.

Amazing value and sound for the money

Shoots way above its class in every way, great sound, money well spent, fast delivery, Harley Benton has really proved they are here to compete with the big boys with these!

Detailed sound for the price

front loaded construction, it is cheaper than two seperate v30s , so not to expect superior build quality.

Best 212 for the money bar none

If your considering a 212, save yourself the time, money, and trouble of shopping around and get this cabinet. Sounds amazing with my Blackstar HT-100 Mk-II. Fraction of the price of comparable cabs. Literally no negatives.

Bang for the buck

I play mostly metal (mostly classic Thrash), thus in my arsenal mostly high gain amps. I think V30s perfectly serve this purpose by providing mid-focused sound.

Pros:

It is very light-weighted compared to other famous cabs and you can easily move it

Celestion V30s provides nice mid push

Vertical layout takes less space

Handles 120W

Has passthrough connection. I'm not sure if it is parallel or serial.

Cons

Due to thin walls it has less resonance and lack of bass response. You need to compensate it by adjusting the amp's knobs. Usually adding more bass and cutting treble helps

Build quality is kinda lacking.

I think for this price it is a real bargain, and if you don't want to spend over $1k for MESA, it is a real choice.

Unfortunately, mine was damaged during transportation (i live in US), however the issue was handled by customer support.

Immense Tone, unreal Cost

For someone that predominantly plays Hard rock and Prog metal, I can say with confidence that this cab is the prefect third piece that completes my ultimate budget rig. A Squier Contemporary HH Active Strat, a Boss KTN-100 Head with foot switch and expression pedal, and finally this Harley Benton Vintage Verticle cab. The whole rig costs about $1200 and it sounds amazing for how little it all costs. Like Legit, I plugged in and got goosebumps, it sounded so much better than some other cabs I'd been using. A much more pronounced and prominent mid range and more controlled bass response. Perfect for playing technical and cutting through the mix. The Vintage 30's have that characteristic growl that is wonderfully unique to them. Very much so worth the investment and shipping costs.
