This is my first guitar cabinet ever, upgrading from a Peavey Vypyr VIP and a Marshall DSL20CR Combo.
Now, I'm using my Marshall DSL20CR Combo as a head with this cabinet and holly molly was this an upgrade!
> Construction wise, this guy is sturdy and strong as hell, can handle the combo on top of it just fine!
> Sound wise it's just beautiful. It has such an amazing level of detail, such a growl. Guys, ditch the damn Vintage 30's, these Celestion Greenbacks deliver all that death metal needs! Of course the sound will definitely depend on how the room is treated, so take that into account!! However, these greenbacks badboys are EXCELLENT.
> The looks are not Marshall's. If you bring a guitarist to choose between a Harley Benton cabinet or a Marshall one, guess which one most guitarist will choose, right? But this oughta end! I'm a firm believer that the sound comes 80% from the speakers themselves, 10%-20% from the build of the cabinet and absolutely 0% from the logo on the front! The logo is all placebo effect. That ain't any good for those who are just starting out and don't want to break the bank to purchase a fantastic guitar cabinet!
I use this guy mainly for my guitar tones of choice, the death metal ones. But this cabinet can deliver the goods for any rock and metal tones, and it's most likely the best choice taking into account its quality and price.
