Harley Benton G212 Vertical Celestion V30 5-stars Reviews

vintage 30s enough said!

i love this 2x12 very portable and just the right size cab for my bedroom. Its part of my bedroom and sounds great with my Randall H1D1 Diavlo 1 watt amp also my Joyo Zombie even though I prefer the All Valve sound of the randall amp over the solid state. Thinking of pairing it with a Marshall DSL 20 or hit the cab with a Engl Powerball 25. Just thinking out loud and no matter what amp i pair the cab with i'm sure it will sound awesome.

Great Value Mini Cab !

These cabs are really good value, the speakers alone are something to be heard - Celestion. Its a tidy and neat mini cab, and even looks the part. Superb value.

Why pay for brand ?

It's sturdy as all hell, it's made of the same material as the big brands, same speakers as the big brands, for half the price. What's not to like ?

Great value cab

I bought this cab mainly for home use. It is compact and not too heavy. Perfect pairing for lunchbox style tube amp heads. I use it with a Peavey 6505mh and it sounds amazing. Hard to believe for this price that this cab includes genuine Celestion V30 speakers. Great sound and sturdy cabinet. I think it actually works out cheaper than if you were to buy a pair of V30s so what are you waiting for! Only negative I can say is the packaging is a bit thin so my cab received a few dings to the tolex in transit. Nothing that effects the functioning of the cabinet though.

Great cabinet

I spent some time comparison shopping cabinets...always coming back to the HB G212 Vintage Vertical. Finally ordered one in and glad I did. Nicely built 2x12 cabinet with vintage Celestion speakers. Great for home use...tolex may be a bit thin for road use, but black duct tape would keep it in the game. Currently teamed with my VHT 6 Ultra. Capable of pushing more air than I can stand in my practice space...usually used at low volumes. The price cannot be beat, especially considering the supplied speakers. Highly recommended.

Amazing for the price

Got this along with the Harley Benton Mighty 5TH as an upgrade from a 15 year old Marshall MG30 and I am very impressed. Thrown in a TC Electronics Fangs Distortion and Hall of Fame 2 hell yeah this kicks out a hell of a sound.

Only using it in my bedroom/guitar room and will be looking to record a little with it soon with more great HB products. I've had quite a lot of HB items over the years and every time they just get better and better. If you are running on a budget and want a great cab, seriously do not look any further than this.

Sounds great!

Plenty loud for the stage, the speakers sound good, light enough to not regret carrying, fits in the trunk well, and the price point is fantastic. I'd be a little concerned if you're rough with your equipment, it's not made from the toughest materials but for what it is, it's great. Totally exceeded my expectations for a cabinet of this price. Even if I did drop the thing down a flight of stairs, I'd be okay with just buying another.

I got this cab ,to use at home with my Marshall head..works great. But I've also found that it works fantastic with my Peavey Tone blaster 50. It brings out the mids, takes out the sizzle, in the highs, and gives the bottom some clean depth .Great cab... Great price ,too. Sounds a little different than my Marshall cabs, but ...I'm at home , with it too.... May take it to my next gig. I'm sure it'll do the job.

Terrific sound, screaming deal!

This little cab is dynamite! After hearing/reading about the value of Harley Benton cabs, I had to scoop one while they were in stock. ZERO regrets. Pretty lightweight for a 212 vertical, but well-made and feels solid. The cab walls aren't as thick as the horizontal 212, so there may be a bit less bass response from the V30s. But with the way this cabinet's sound fills a room, I don't feel like there's anything missing. Very impressed, I'll be trying out a Harley Benton guitar here before long!

Great sound

After a long research I decided to go for this Cab + Nutube head from Vox. I am quite happy that I did not opt for a solid state amp. Great sound quite clear. I like the handles on the side. Fits under my desk nicely.

Amazing for the price!

You really can't beat this cab for the price. It sounds great and is very sturdy and well built. I'm extremely impressed! It's great for my bedroom volume playing, but can get super loud. I don't even think I've had it cranked up to its full potential and it shook my basement. Definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a cheap cab!

pleasantly surprised

the cab is pretty solid, metal handles and corners, two v30's. I push it with a Fuchs ODS 50 it sounds fantastic.

pros v30,s solid build, and great price point.

cons i don't have any

Great for the money

Just received my 2x12 about an hour ago, plugged straight into my Victory VX Kraken works and sounds amazing! For the price you can't say no!

Gobsmacked

I was hoping that all the folks who said great things about this cab were right, honest and that I would have the same experience. In essence, this is even better then I had expected.

One major positive is the upright vertical orientation, taking significantly less space and sounding open and bright. I have tested it with a few amps (70's vintage Traynor YGM-4 combo out, Revv D20, 5mm Electro-Harmonix) and I am always pleased. It certainly like old tube tones, but the 5mm sounded real good.

If you have the room, might consider it instead of the 1x12.

Good sounding cabinet for the price

I bought this to go with my stage right 30 watt head. I've been looking for a 212 speaker cabinet with vintage 30 speakers and decided to pull the plug on this cabinet. The price was perfect, I was amazed at the sound i got with this setup. I like the way it looks

Amazing

What can i say that has not already been said 100 hundred times already? This thing is legit. Coming from a Bugera 1x12, i was absolutely floored by how much better this sounds and am kicking myself for not getting it sooner! The tolex is nice, the grill cover is nice, everything seems very well put together and the side handles are very nice touch as i can place my amp on top and not have to worry about a handle. But obviously the big draw is the V30's. I understand they are china made, but who cares? These things are monstrous and i haven't even gotten close to breaking them in. Even at low volume bedroom levels, these sound huge. If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and snatch this up, you will not be disappointed.

Buy this you can not go wrong

This extension cab is a nice sounding v30 speakers make your tone pop . From supperb cleans to evil crunch. This cab has the sound your looking for in a light weight and well made 2x12 guitar cab that every player could use. Not to mention the awesome low cost makes this product a great addition to any player/studio. Treat your self to a solid great sounding cab today don't wait!!!

Fantastic, particularly for the money.

Make no mistake, this cabinet is worth far more than it costs. It uses Celestion Vintage 30s, so it was always going to sound great. I particularly appreciated that the front grille is detachable which makes accurate mic placement very easy. Given that this is the vertical model, the footprint is small and so I store it on top of a Fender 4x10 bass cabinet, but also the upper speaker is angled upwards so the sound is not directed at your knees. The recessed metal grips on the sides feel very secure and of high quality. One can tell that the construction of the cabinet has been done cheaply and there are a few bits where the wood hasn't quite been cut or painted right, but these things do not appear to affect the sound at all and can only be noticed upon close inspection.

Very highly recommended.

Why Don't You Own One Of These?

For the price, there is absolutely nothing that competes with the G212 Vintage. Mine is sturdy, the speakers sound beautiful with lows, mids, and highs all well represented. It's one of those products that seems too good to be true, but it's the real deal. The one downside is that the speakers and wiring are made in China, who has a notorious reputation for low quality electronics. The one I own is so far so good, though, and at $300 after tax and shipping, I love it. If you're in the US, I'd recommend using UPS instead of DHL, it's a bit more for shipping, but you won't regret the speed at which you get your G212.

Great Price for a Great Cab

Fantastic price for amazing sound.
