The Harley Benton G212Plus V30/Creamback is a wallet-friendly guitar speaker cabinet with an angled front panel, and it sounds great thanks to the world-renowned, high-quality speakers it's fitted with. That's right, it's powered by a 12" Vintage 30 driver and a 12" G12M-65 from the legendary British brand Celestion, which still makes its speakers in the UK. Since the hard rocking days of the '60s and '70s, Celestion's Greenback speakers have been synonymous with straight up Rock & Roll sounds; the Vintage 30 driver is based on the popular Alnico speakers of the 1960s, which also found use in much of the Rock music of the 1980s and 90s. The Creamback in turn revives that classic Greenback sound, but adds a modern twist – it's built to handle more power. As for looks, this cab leans into the vintage vibes with its black Taurus tolex covering and a matching black cloth grille, accented by white piping trim.
The Harley Benton G212Plus V30/Creamback is an eight-ohm speaker cabinet that can handle up to 125W of power. It features a pair of standard 6.3mm jack inputs, making it easy to hook up to both amp heads and combo amps. Thanks to its innovative flexible rear panel, it can be used as an open-back or closed-back cabinet, or somewhere in between, allowing musicians to choose between more compressed and more open sounds. Whatever the acoustic conditions and musical input, it's perfect for players looking for that authentic vintage vibe. Be it Rock or Blues, this cab has the kind of tones that'll make guitarists feel right at home. Of course, it's not just about sound: The build quality of the G212Plus speaks for itself, with Harley Benton using sturdy 18mm European birch plywood here, which gives the whole thing a solid, road-ready feel.
Anyone chasing that classic rock sound from the '60s and '70s will want a bit of volume to go with it, but without blowing their entire budget – so the Harley Benton G212Plus V30/Creamback could just be the newest member of the band. It's a great pick for beginners who are into the tones of luminaries like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and even Slash. For gigging guitarists, the cab's 20.6kg weight is still plenty manageable, thanks to its two recessed carrying handles. It's built to last, too: Black lacquer metal corner protectors keep the cabinet safe during transport, on stage, or in the rehearsal room. And the robust rubber feet aren't just intended to provide stability on slippery surfaces – they'll also help absorb vibrations, making the cab more efficient overall. That's something even seasoned players will appreciate.

It's also a solid match for 50W amp heads – more ambitious musicians dreaming of a real rockstar's stack setup can even run two of these cabs together using a 100W amp. All in all, this is a flexible piece of gear that delivers a genuine vintage Rock sound, with plenty of room for future upgrades or tweaks to any amp rig, great or small.
