Harley Benton G212 Celestion V30

Ezt a 2x12-es ládát használom az erősítőimhez. Korábban láttam róla jó pár youtube videót ahol a mikrofonozott hangja is már meggyőzött. Élőben pedig elképesztő tisztaság jellemzi. Valóban Celestion V30-ak vannak benne! Mivel amikor rendeltem még nem volt álló 2x12-es verzióból így ez használom állítva. A döntöttséget egyébként nem hiányoltam soha. Ennyi pénzért meg ajándék. Stabil masszív kialakítású, a műbőr bevonat talán az egyik negatívuma, de színpadon vagy próbateremben senkit sem az fog érdekelni, hogyan néz ki! :)
Ha gondolkozol rajta, ne tedd! Bátran ajánlom akár ezt, akár az 1x12-es verziót is.

So let me start by saying that i bought this HB 2x12 because i gigged with Marshall 4x12 cabs for many years and got tired of carrying around heavy cabs.

I needed a 2x12 that could sound big but would be lighter to carry. Ideally i needed something with Celestion V30's or similar.

After looking around the internet, i discovered the Harley Benton G212 Vintage and my first impression was :
"How can they sell a V30 loaded cab for less money than 2 separate Celestion V30 speakers?"

At this point, i immediately placed the order because this is a total bargain. You're basically getting the cab for free when you think about it.

When the cab arrived, it looked fantastic and the overall quality was even better than i had expected.

I plugged it in and A/B tested it against my trust old Marshall 4x12. Here's what i discovered:

The HB 2x12 sounded more defined than the Marshall 4x12. It handled the low end better and actually seemed to be more 'punchy' in those lower mid and bass frequencies.

The HB 2x12 also sounds a little more aggressive in the midrange in comparison. This is likely because the speakers are front loaded, which gives a bit more of that direct sound. This makes it extremely good for rock or metal tones! However, it'll do just about anything you can think of and still sound great.

The top end is clear and cuts through the mix always, but it never sounds shrill or harsh.

I have now owned this cab for 7 years and gigged with it many times and it's still holding strong and performing flawlessly. The tolex is still attached, the grill cloth isn't damaged... This is pretty impressive for a cab that is priced so low!

If you're reading this review and you're trying to decide on purchasing this cab... My advice is just to go for it. I really don't think you'll find a better cab until you spend 3 or 4x more money. And even then, it won't sound 4x better or last 4x longer.

This cab is perfect for me and i will for sure own more than one in future for my new rig!
