Quality Cabinet

I was searching for a budget friendly speaker cabinet of Celestion V30s. A friend recommended Harley Benton as he had been using a HB 2x12 cabinet (also built with Celestion V30s) and boasted of the sound and quality.

I have been using my Harley Benton 4x12 for a few months and couldn’t be happier. Solid construction, great sounding speakers, and quality craftsmanship. It comes with casters, but is not a weighty cabinet which makes it great for practice and gigs. Highly recommend!

Great value for money

First off, for the money, it's great value. 4 Celestion V30 speakers will cost more than the cost of this cab, so it's worth that just for the speakers alone.

It's the smallest 4x12 cab I've ever purchased and that does impact the sound. It's the brightest and least bassiest 4x12 cab I've heard. A bit of EQ tweaking can sort that out, so it's not really a pro or con. The small form factor (by 4x12 standards!) is handy if you want to transport in smaller vehicles.

On the customisation side of things, mine was a very tricky to get the back off. The back was really jammed in tight and it took a look of prying, all around the edges, and I had to take a side handle off to push from the inside to finally unjar it. It almost felt like it was glued in, but it wasn't.

If you do take the back off, be very careful. It's also best to take the jack plate off. It looks like an accountant decided how long the wire should be and not the person building it! It's very easy to pull the back off and yank the connections off, as they are very short wires, in comparison to a Marshall cab where you have several more inches of wire. Inside, the speakers are bolted in, instead of being just screwed, which a lot of people consider a good thing.

Mine was delivered to the UK and, unfortunately, suffered a bit off damage in transit. I decided to take a partial refund, as it took a couple of whacks and tore the tolex in a couple of spots. It looked more like B-stock, when it arrived.

In case anyone is wondering, the cab is built with 4 x 16 ohm speakers.

All in all, I'm happy with it.

Great bang for the buck

I have been using this cab with a number of different heads and it sounds like you'd expect V30s to sound! The Rolex isn't as tough as other cabs I've owned but for the price that's expected. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm looking at the vertical 2x12s

Top quality tones on Harley Benton prices

Vintage spec speaker cabinet sounds sublime.

Articulate speakers that will take everything you throw at it.

Great value

Nice sounding cab with ok build quality. Cab arrived with a bit of damage in transport and had some dings to the tolex, but otherwise works fine and it is excellent value for money. Only annoying things is that the cab wheels are not leveled and are really wobbly.

Great Sounding Cab!

Its a great cab that sounds good with my Marshall TSL 2000. I recommend it to anyone who wants quality sound from their amps whether it be a low end tube amp to a higher end one. My amp sounds completely different with these speakers. I went from some H&H speakers in a Laney 4x12 cab and the difference was night and day. Overall, this will change your tone a lot more than pedals and amp heads ever will. Its the part that outputs all those signals. You need a quality output to hear that quality input.

Great sounds for an even greater price. You won't be able to find anything better for a similar price.

Four Celestion V30s in a present box :)

The best budget 4x12" cabinet with Celestion V30 speakers. Period.
