As a girl who just bought a horizontal hb 2x12: that cab is reaaaaally amazing when you dial in your tone right, say whatever you want, but it’s not just a good cab. That paired with a marshal dsl20 head and a couple of pedals can really create “my ultimate tone”. They might both be cheap, but that thrashy but still defined tone you can get with them paired is perfect for me and my type of music.

Two of my favs in one awesome video!! This was amazing.

How did I not find this before now!? I love both of these channels.

Glenn, if you are invited to TGU20, first thing i would suggest is to film a "how to record audio for youtube" tutorial with the audio guys from Thomann.....

I bought one of their cheaper 2x12 cabinets about 18 months ago to try out and it sounds fine. I got a guitar sent to Australia as well with it - the guitar rocked up in about 3 weeks, the cabinet came about 10 days later (same shipping number). At that time, we didn't have GST on imports but I'd say you'd have to pay it when you pick it up now.

Nice seeing Phil on the show! The vertical HB is awesome!

I like taking 2 of these 4x12’s run in stereo full blast @ 11. They make great headphones!

I used a vertical 2x12 (Sonic) for years. It was a smaller cab than the HB, actually half a 4x12. Loved it, and it was easier to haul than a 4x12

As a player, 4x12 sounded bassier and a lot more sound, but as a listener from a distance I am often surprised that 2x12 sounded warmer where 4x12 usually sounded brighter and more stringent.

That 2x12 upright sounds killer. I think one may be a Christmas present for myself this year.

For the price, I got the 2x12 out of curiosity and have been amazed by it. The v30s are what youd think theyd be, but the cab itself is a helluva lot nicer than I ever expected. Hell, even the shipping speed was great. I really dont know how they did it, even with high volumes. Thomann is killing it on so many levels. Kinda wish Guitar Center would take note.. Or.. Maybe have Thomann move a shit ton of stores to the states :D

Always good to do tone comparisons.

I felt that the Mesa 2x12 in your previous video presented more of the vital low end that we get ceramic magnet speakers for than the Harley Benton. For my purpose the Vintage 30s could populate a very large 2x12 box I got from the 70s and that HB box could be used to test the sound of some AlNiCo blues in a closed-back box (an experiment I've been working on). BTW the price with shipping of a Marshall 4x12 from Thomann is something I intend to avail myself of before my President outlaws it. 🤘 Thanks Glenn.

Very cool to hear that they are front-loaded cabinets! That's an excellent feature and major design difference from Mesa cabs.

Phil's the man thanks for having him on

I'm really liking that 2x12 vertical. Even with the 'guess work' sound, I can tell it's got some punchy lower mid stuff going on. I may have to check into this one further.

The 2x12 sounds amazing! It gave my crappy crate gt1200H a more beefy sound and definition and it made my randall rx120rh sound even more clear, all with the stock china speakers

I have the horisontal 2x12 cab myself since 10 years or so, its crazy good value, 16mm plywood, metal handles and corners (Marshall uses plastic for example), now you also get free shipping to Sweden where i live when you buy for over 199€ without any weight limit, otherwise 10€ flat rate shipping. When i started bouying from Thomann in about 2006 they had flat rate shipping for 15€ and no free shipping at all.

I went to Thomann few months back to buy a cab, cause I wanted to try all 1x12 in person before buying...I tried harley benton, Mesa, Engl, Orange, Marshall, all with a 5150 II 50W... Ended up buying the Engl pro cab without any shadow of a doubt. If you are on a budget maybe consider it, but otherwise try them against other stuff, cause it's not only the speaker itself that matters... Cheers

i bought the 1x12 a few months ago and its the real deal! im gonna get the vertical 2x12 or 4x12. Also like Phil didnt have a problem, just showed up at my doorstep.

This vid helped me seal the deal on a 2x12. Put a dv77 next to the v30 after it was broken in….amazing tone. Sound great when mic’d up. A little different tone than a mesa cab but still f’n brutal and lighter!

great video! more like this please.

I weirdly have been into 1x12s recently. Got one out of necessity due to a move and just for ease of playing smaller gigs, but I now think I actually prefer 1x12s nowadays. Never would have guessed!

Buying a 4 12 cab this week!!!!! I have a Laney 120 irt. I was holding out on getting the Laney cab, so glad to know I can can get a fully loaded cab with Vintage 30s for 400 USD DOLLARS.... WOW!!! SOLD!!!!!

You have any thoughts on Harley Benton's alternate 1x12 cab, the one that isn't vintage? The price is a little bit cheaper, but it catches my eye because the vintage 30 sound was never really my favorite.

I feel like such a sucker for having bought the amp/cab jubilee combo on Sweetwater for 900 bucks a year ago. I will be ordering these from now on!

I got the 2x12 horizontal. Love it! Love those Ibanez guitars too!

its great to see you guys

Imagine the vertical 2x12 with the joyo mjolnir, that would be amazing!

Hi Glenn, great video! I use an 80 watt solid state amp modelling combo, the Roland Cube 80XL. I want to add an extension cab to it, to fatten up the tone and add base, would the 1 x 12, 2 x 12 horizontal, or the 2 x 12 vertical add more body / base to the sound? The 4 x 12 would be too big for me. Thank you in advance.

Glenn, I have a question. I don’t know if you ever addressed this or not, but what are your thoughts about removing the casters from a 4X12 cab after you set up live or in the studio? My casters pop in and out and I swear once I took them off, my tone improved a lot. Even the Overdrive seemed to kick a bit more. I actually wound up dialing back the gain a little when I set the cab directly in the floor. Did I really notice the difference? Or was it confirmation bias since I was expecting a change? I know this is an old video, but figured it would be the right video to ask this question.

Grabbing a pair of the vertical 2x12's once I get back to work, it's a smoking deal and I can leave my port city's at home when I gig. Perfect.

What about putting a horizontal cab on its side to make it more vertical amd vice versa?

I have both the vertical and horizontal 2 X 12 - well worth the wait for shipping to the US.

Well I was debating buying a 1x12 v 2x12 and now that I’ve seen this video. This was the perfect video for me rn.

I've been needing an amp and cabinet, so these help. Man these KZreadrs meet up a lot. I'm kinda jealous. Hahaha \m/

I have a Boss Katana head, and the horizontal 212 Harley Benton cab, and it’s a heck of a portable, decent sounding rig. Seriously, pick up one of these cabs.

Now I'm wondering if you can use more than 1 mic at the same time. One of them right at the fabric, one a few inches from it. Maybe you can sneak a mic inside the cloth

We already seen this video Glenn 😂😂😂 still love those cabs though

I still swear by a 2x12 combo + a 2x12 cab. Just such a super versitile rig.from studio, bedroom, small gigs to decent sized shows. you can practice with your actual tone, or knock the paint off the walls at a dive bar...and at big shows its awesome to be able to use your amp as a monitor.Im drooling over a matchless but ill probably end up getting a katanna.

Here is a reasonable question.... part of producing a good sound, in the studio or live, is assuring that the frequencies from various instruments don't conflict with one another in the mix. So, would recording and gigging with a 2x12 make more sense because it would be easier to remove the low-end mud frequencies that get in the way of making the low end frequencies you want (bass guitar/kick drum) stand out?

Phil's who makes your guitar video is top draw - a must watch.

Hey glen. Have you got that Harley bentan vertical 212 yet? Would love to see you shoot it out against other cabs and to see you mic it up without the grill on. And just wondering, why didn't you get that 212 first instead of the horizontal one you got?

Hey Glenn, if I'm using a cab just for recording, does a 2 x 12 offer any benefit over a 1 x 12? Especially if I'm only micing up one speaker, does the cab size make a big difference?

lol. i actually do take the grill cloth off all my cabs. except my Panama which comes with removal grill cloths. didn't know that about the horizontal HB cab! would save me some mod work on my next cab!

I was kind of expecting but was still surprised that difference between the three wasn't larger than it was on to "tape".

See now I’ve got to save up for the 2x12 vertical cab.

Well, I'm glad I bought the horizontal 2x12. I got it cuz it was the only one in stock at the time, but judging by this video it's the one I would have preferred anyways.

Can you shoot one of those out with a laney in the same price? Or hell, just a bunch of 4x12’s in the same price point?

Thomann Music carries a selection of amp and cab cases. So someone who plays live has the option of buying a case to go along with their cab. It may cost as much as the cab, but it's probably a better expenditure than having to pay full retail to for a replacement cab or amp.

Two days ago I bought (my last amp head) a Mark V 90w head & realized i need a new better cab for it. I like the vertical one a lot but no stereo capability is the one thing holding me from ordering this week. Might not even use that feature but its better to have and not need than to need and not have. Still on the fence. Vertical is not in stock atm so i have time. The Mark V is FUCKING killer by the way. Only added a 12 band eq to the fx loop and it is a BEAST. I haven't been this happy playing guitar in a very long time.

The vertical 2x12 sounded the muddiest to me. I think had to do with mic placement because it's so different than the more mid sounding horizontal 2x12. 4x12 seemed to fall between those two. Anyway that's what I hear.

Homestly just based off this I’d wanna take the vertical 2x12 with maybe a joyo zombie or a dark terror into maybe like a line 6 fire hawk for fx as my first ever live rig I feel like that would be a decent combo of utility tome and affordability

I’m saving to run an EVH Iconic and I was going to get the 2x12 but I think the Iconic is too big for the cab so I’m going with. 4x12, it’s bigger and I like the bass response better

Glenn, what is your recommendation for a mic set to buy for home drum recording? Thomann sells Shure sets with SM57s, AKG set with P4s, t.Bone sets with DC 4000s.. price ranges like up to 800$ maybe.

i have a peavy 4x12 and Bugera head and honestly im not that happy with it compared to my older marshall valvestate 232 2x12 .... What head would work better with the peavy stack does anyone know?

4 x 12 was my favourite but the vertical 2 x 12 was a close second. Would be happy with any of em to be fair

no link to Phil's channel...

A while ago I built my own oversized 2x12 closed back cab. From experience I can say my DIY 2x12 sounds better than 90% of all 4x12s I ever played. The best sounding cab I ever played was a Hiwatt 4x12 with Fane speakers, but that cab costs around 3k.

Vertical oversized 2x12s rock! The best compromise I guess. I've built a rock solid one from a TubeTown kit. 4x12s are kinda unnecessary these days imho. All they do is beating up your back. Even on bigger stages...stuff is miked up anyways.. Thanks for the video! Definitely confirms my opinion...I sometimes wondered if I should get a 4x12, 'cause like a friend said "2x12s are not heavy metal!!!" No buddy, just no.

I really liked the sound of the 4×12 with the vertical 2×12 at the same time. But then again... I'm listening on TV speakers... If you wanna call them "speakers"... I think they needed even more of that low end in the source to actually give the sound some breadth.
