The Harley Benton G212Plus Vertical Greenback is a wallet-friendly guitar cabinet with a distinctive angled front, and it sounds great thanks to the world-renowned, high-quality speakers it's fitted with. That's right, it's powered by a pair of 12" G12M-65 drivers – still made in the UK by the legendary British brand Celestion. Since the hard rocking days of the '60s and '70s, Celestion's Greenback speakers have been synonymous with straight up Rock & R sounds. The new Greenback revives that classic sound, while really leaning into the vintage vibes visually, too, with its black Taurus tolex covering and a matching black cloth grille, accented by white piping trim. With its partially slanted front baffle, the Vertical Greenback ensures optimum sound dispersion, delivering a balanced listening experience even at close range.
The Harley Benton G212Plus Vertical Greenback is an eight-ohm speaker cabinet that can handle up to 50W 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 adjustable rear panel, this cab can be used as a closed-back or open-back model, or somewhere in between. This means an authentic vintage vibe is easy to achieve, whatever the exact acoustics and input are like. Be it Rock or Blues, this cab can generate the kind of tones that will 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 little volume to go with it, but without blowing their entire budget – so the Harley Benton G112Plus Vertical Greenback 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 and Jimmy Page. For gigging guitarists, the cab's 19.2kg 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.
Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of countless guitarists and bassists. In addition to an extensive range of stringed instruments, Thomann's house brand also offers a wide choice of amplifiers, speakers, effect pedals, and other accessories.

The continuous expansion of the range ensures that Harley Benton always provides new, exciting, and innovative products that keep players perfectly in tune with the musical world, day after day.
The Harley Benton G212Plus Vertical Greenback makes a great add-on for combo amps that need a bit more punch than their built-in speaker can deliver, especially for really heavy riffs. And when hooked up to a 50W top, the Greenback can really start turning those dreams of Rock superstardom into reality, despite its accessible price. More ambitious musicians can even run two of these cabs together using a 100W amp head. 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.
