Harley Benton G112Plus Unloaded

I needed an empty 112 cab to be my new workhorse for practice. It had to be compact and lightweight yet still stand up to abuse. Thomann released these and I pulled the trigger pretty quickly. I loaded it with a 16 ohm Celestion V-Type, which is a really underrated and versatile speaker unit.

A few issues I had with my particular cab:
1. The cab is not 100% straight. I had to space the rubber feet with thin washers to make it sit level.
2. There was some solder or small metal debris in the connectors - I had to spend 20 minutes gouging it out and carefully re-bending them to fit them onto the terminals on the speaker.
3. On the mesh cover, there is a small piece of rectangular wood behind the Harley Benton logo. The corner of this wood actually hit the edge of the mounted speaker frame, so the mesh cover was unable to fit flush onto the baffle. I had to place a thin cutting board between the wood and mesh, and carefully shave the corner off with a very sharp knife. Now the mesh cover fits just fine.
4. The mesh is not the greatest quality, so it may rip if it catches a corner on the move.
5. The handle does not have enough "travel" for larger hands, so it's not super comfortable to carry.

Despite these issues, it looks very clean and it sounds great.

Like most Harley Benton products, they usually have a few issues than can be fixed, and what you are left with is a lot of functionality for the money you pay.

Konnte Preiswert eine V30 Made in UK kaufen. Brauchte also eine Box. Da sties ich auf die Harley Benton open Back. Genau was sich brauchte.
Als sie kam, war die Überraschung gross. Sieht gut aus, Verarbeitung sehr sehr gut aus. Einbau war eine kleinigkeit. Achtung! Schrauben sind in der Schachtel am Boden.
Klang, die nächste Positive Überraschung. Passt Perfekt zum Celstion V30 Made in UK.
Da ich bis jetzt in der Wohnung mit 2x 2x12" Boxen Spielte, werde ich die einte 2x12" mit der 1x+2" ersetzen. Klanglich klingt es besser und benötigt weniger Platz.
Also nichts zu Mekern, nur am Loben.
