V212C 50-watt 2x12" Open-back Cabinet Review

This VOX ROCKS!

I recently bought a Morgan Dual 20 head. For a cab, I started out with a Morgan 1x12 with Creambacks and really impressed. However, took a shot and returned it (Sweetwater's return policy also rocks!) and got this VOX V212C. I love the open back, twin speaker design. The sound seems more spacious than the 1x12 mentioned above. Sure, that's obvious. But it is more than just… read more a second speaker. It feels different; more spacious, more roomy. So much more than just the difference in speaker types. I absolutely love this amp / cab combo and if I'm not playing, I'm thinking about sitting down to play. I tend to play on the quieter side so have yet to really test out the tonal possibilities of either. Or the upper limits of the volume. However, at my lower / practice levels, I can already dial in all sorts of music from this combination. And as another reviewer mentioned, the cab is rock solid, looks classic and is a really cost effective way to get two Celestion Greenbacks. Thanks Evan, for all of your help. And everyone at Sweetwater.

Love this Cabinet

Wanted to build a cheap half stack for my guitar room so paired this cabinet with a Orange Micro Terror and it really sounds great.

It Roars!

Great cabinet, I"m sure most people are getting this for the AC30 head, but I actually bought it to pair with an orange Brett Hinds terror. It was the most affordable way to get a couple Celestion Greenbacks I could find. It still conveys crystal clear highs and mids but far exceeds my expectation as far as it"s ability handle high gain situations. It"s great for saving space in… read more a home studio and certainly can make enough noise to gig with. The only drawback I can speak of is the single 16 ohm input on the back. Would love to have had two inputs. All in all, I looked at a lot of 2x12 cabinets, vertical and horizontal, this was the least expensive premade cabinet with Celestion greenbacks installed. Most everything else in this price range had 80/70s or vintage 30s or lower quality speakers.

Vox V212C Cab

I have a "Sweetwater Special" VOX AC10C Amp where Sweetwater removed the originally installed speaker by VOX and replaced it with a Celestion 10" Greenback Speaker. It helped make my Gibson Standard Les Paul with Ceramic Humbuckers Growl. However, I took the chance of connecting the VOX AC10C to this VOX V212C Cab primarily for the power and grit that the 2X12" Greenback Speakers… read more could deliver. And, WOW! Now, my Les Paul goes from Growl to Roar! It's hard to describe, but the combination of this Cab with the Les Paul suits my needs for Rock Music.
