Great sound for an even greater price. Any other brand would cost you a lot more considering the speakers.

HB G212 vintage spkr Cab

I was very impressed, when My spkr cab arrived, 24 hours early, Needless to say, as soon as it Arrived, I Took it indoors and unwrapped it, Plugged My Amp into my New Cabinet an was very Happy with the sounds coming out of the G212 v Speaker Cab, I am very Happy, Thank you To all involved in Getting my New Speaker Cabinet Delivered to me, I use this Cabinet to Attach a Guitar Amplifier when I play My Guitar at Home, for Practice, and hopefully in other places in the Future if I get the Chance, It does the Job that is expected, I can say nothing Bad about this Item, I am very impressed,

omfg!!!

i bought this box after seeing a review on Glen Fricker's smg you tube channel.

It's amazing. atm i have a little joyo zombie head plugged into it and it sounds fatter than a heard of elephants.

i had no idea a 2x12 could sound so amazing just buy 1!!!

This is insane for the price

Built like a tank, delivers massive tone with my Marshall DSL20HR

I have this for home use with the mentioned amp head and am using a JHS Little Black Amp to push the volume knob on the amp head to the max, while keeping the volume levels down for an apartment.

Highly recommend ! This is insane value for what you pay vs what you get.

Everyday playing

Perfect cabinet for an every day routine in the rehearsal room and on stage. Practical, versatile and - more important - reliable! With the solid sound of the Celestion V30 speakers it's an absolute buy for everyone.

I loved it!

Pros: sound, weight, reliability, solidity.

Cons: none.

I like it ... maybe my neighbour a little bit less

Aside from sarcasm the cabinet is a nice 212 and it delivers a full sound . a proper one even with different heads and guitar with different pickups. Never get bored of it. nice price point nice sound. I'd recommend it.

Great cabinet and service!

Everything they said was true. You get a great sounding 2x12 with V30's at an incredible price! Had a small cosmetic issue that was taking care of quickly by customer service and a small discount applied. I could not be happier with the product or service.

Clear sound and sturdy construction

I'm using the cabinet to amplify a Hughes & Kettner 18W Tubemeister head and have been playing different guitars with it (Telecaster, Stratocaster, an EMG-equipped Kramer SM-1.

I come from several years of tube combos with 1x12 speakers and I am impressed with the improvement in sound I am experiencing with this cabinet. Sure, the head does its part but the cabinet delivers clear, sparkly cleans and gives great oomph to the distortion. I also can't understand all the negative reviews about build quality. This thing is built like a tank. Sure, the tolex may peel later on, but I really don't care considering the price tag.

PROS

Clear sound on both clean, crunch and distortion

Rich bass

Sturdy construction with side metal handles

Cheap

CONS

Bulky and heavy

Unbeatable deal

The V30's alone would cost more locally than this cab cost. No complaints at all!

best small cab for your money ;)

To all HB haters - dont say anything until you try it by your self !!! ---its cheap. its chinese, its strange, ..blah blah. just kidding and nothing else here ;)

BUT - For those, who try to play as goog as possible and understands the true value of money, IT IS THE BECT CAB YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR HOME FUN. THERE IS NOT ANY BETTER PRODUCT WITHIN THIS PRICE RANGE ON THE MARKET.

It can handle quiet jazz, full, warm tonees, but it can handle Raining blood as well as Global warming and it amazing POWER.

Dont need any ultraexpensive amp with it. 5W Head is enough for home use and even your neighbour can enjoy yours plaing ;)

Color of tones is amazIng even with such a small wattage. Even 1W can go with it. Impact of 2x12"speakers is AMAZING.

wHEN YOU SERCH FOR SOMOE CABINET, STOP NOW, BECAUSE YOU JUST FOUND IT.

BTW_ MY AMP _PEAVEY 6505 100W = THIS CABINET, IN COMBINATION WITH SUCH AMP , IS KILLING ANIMALS AND DESTROYS WINDOWS AND OLD HOUSES, PLEASE DO CONSIDER WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR INPUT AND WHO IS AROUND YOU;)

Sounds Great, after I corrected the out of phase wiring.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The only problem I had was, I found the speakers were wired incorrect. When I first used it, the sound was noticeably very thin, I quickly recognized what I was hearing, and that was the speakers were out of phase, cancelling the lower freqs. I popped off the input jack plate and just reversed the wiring for appropriate speaker. Huge difference.

Amazing Value

Bought this and honestly not sure if I will spend money on another cab again. great value for money. The sound is ok to begin with but once the speakers are broken in they are warm and sound great. Tolex was damaged and not lined up 100% but sound and value are much more important to me.

Sounds wonderful

I am no expert on different kinds of cabinets but together with my hotone british invasion it sounds superbly good for jamming in my livingroom. I bought it to have that full guitar sound rather than using a mini-amp speaker. No regrets.

Also sturdy built and somewhat heavy of course.

Mini Stack

I bought two of this cabinet.

I use with Marshall DSL 100 HR.

Fantastic results realizing a mini stack at reasonable price but with a wounderful sounds.....

Outstanding value

Great sounding, inexpensive, I use my cabinet at home and at a rehersal space. Mine showed up with a few dents and stripped screw heads, but for the price I'm not upset at all. Everything seems solid all around, and the metal handles are a nice touch.

Yes it really is...

Amazing. The cab is solid, looks great and sounds AMAZING. I ran a Blackstar HT5s into it and couldnt account for how great it sounds. I have upgraded the amp with a Swamp Thang and thought it sounded great. No way. This cab blows it away. Just order it

good cab with Vintage 30's

I was going to buy two celestion V30 speakers and make the cabinet myself, but I saw a video of the Harley Benton G212 Cab and the price made me buy it. It is cheaper than buying the speakers separately, I have opened the back cover and there are really two Celestion Vintage 30, it sounds fantastic, it looks like a Marshall could have. The cab is made with four pieces of particleboard wood, and the elephant skin looks good. I would buy it again.
