What can I say? It is simply one of the best 2x12's to get in it's price range! The UK made Celestion speakers are sound and deliver as they have to: paired with a Marshall DSL20HR they give a good tone both distorted and clean. Yeah, I love the cleans of this speaker too even if the 25w's breakup point is at an earlier stage, though it can be an advantage to some.
The cabinet construction is good and clean, looked into it and find everything well constructed. Good amount of nice wood went into this cab, it's soild enough. The tolex seems more quality and durable then used for the regular HB G cab series as far as I can tell so this cab seems much more road worthy (even if my 5 years old G112V cab held up even weekly hauling around quite well for it's price, material use and construction).
If you want a budget friendly, well constructed cab with good Celestion speakers, get this one or the Creamback one if that speaker suits you more, and you're not going to be disappointed!
I think Thomann should introduce a third option to this plus cabinet line: either a G212Plus with V30's for people who want that sound but with this more durable construction or the V30-Greenback mixed option which Thomann has in the horizontal construction. It's a shame they don't have it in vertical as it'd have been the best choice for me! But aside from that I could not be happier with this cabinet so far!
