A Top-quality 212 Cab with Celestion V30s

If you want to get the most out of your guitar amplifier, you need a top-quality cab, such as the Soldano 2x12 Vertical Speaker Cabinet. This 120-watt, closed-back cab is built from ultra-rugged thin-ply Russian birch plywood and boasts solid single-piece construction for the utmost in durability. Armed with a duet of Celestion V30 speakers, this cabinet exhibits hot-rodded hard rock tone with complex overtones, warm lows, vocal-like mids, and detailed highs. The Soldano 2x12 Vertical Speaker Cabinet employs solid internal bracing for maximum rigidity — a must for tight low-end frequencies. This top-shelf 2x12” cabinet features all-steel corners, side handles, and jack plates.

Loaded with Celestion V30s — the secret to hot-rodded hard rock tone

The Soldano 2x12 Vertical Speaker Cabinet comes loaded with Celestion V30 speakers. The Celestion V30 was built especially for hot-rodded hard rock, by virtue of its ample power handling. Many of us here at Sweetwater use V30s, due to the sweet-yet-aggressive character they lend to overdriven guitar tones with complex overtones, warm low end, vocal-sounding midrange, and articulate high end. Thanks to its Celestion V30s, the Soldano 2x12 Vertical Speaker Cabinet delivers crunchy chords and singing leads that most other cabs simply can’t match.

Super-durable, road-ready construction

When you’re gigging, you need a speaker cab you can count on, like the Soldano 2x12 Vertical Speaker Cabinet. Built from high-quality thin-ply Russian birch plywood, this cab boasts solid single-piece construction for maximum durability. All joints are glued and nailed together. Internal front and back bracing ensure maximum rigidity. You also get super-tough steel corners and jack plates. The grille is attached via hook-and-loop fasters for easy access to the speakers. Finally, recessed metal side handles ensure effortless transportation.

Reviews

I love this cab!!
First off, I'll start with some of the missing/incorrect details. The grille of this cab does NOT come off. It is not held on by hook and loop fasteners. If you try to take off the grille, you WILL damage the cab. Also, it does not have super-tough steel corners. Which is fine with me. I think it looks classy without the steel corners. Other details missing from the marketing is that it has a small rear port at the bottom in the back that is covered by the Sweetwater logo in the pictures. Similar to the Friedman vertical cab. I also feel it's worth mentioning that the speakers in the cab are offset. They are not stacked vertically over each other. If you are looking at it head-on, the speakers are at the top-right and bottom-left and the speakers are rear-loaded. Even on the Soldano website itself, there is no mention of the port in the back. I don't normally write reviews, but I tried doing a bunch of research on this cab before buying it and there is just really not a lot of info on this cab anywhere. I was a little skeptical that there are so many missing/incorrect details in all of the marketing for what is one of the most expensive 2x12 cabs available.

Weird marketing errors aside though, I will say that this is the best cab I've ever had. It sounds amazing!! I swapped out the speakers for Celestion H Creambacks and installed casters so I got to know this cab very well inside and out. It is very sturdy. It does have a hefty amount of internal bracing and it shows when you hear the resonance of this cab. I didn't know what kind of effect the port would have on the sound but I don't really notice it. The cab still has big, thunky, tight chuggs. It doesn't sound too big, and it doesn't sound boxy. It's looks and sounds amazing and is well made. All of my concerns about about quality due to the weird advertising were put to rest. I would recommend this cab to anybody looking for a 2x12 cab. It is easier to carry than a horizontal cab. And I know it's just my preference, but I feel like everybody should try some 75W Creambacks in here.

Great Cab! Bad product description.
The last review hits the nail on the head. This cab does not match the product description totally. However this cab sounds great with my Astro 20! I like the V30s as they are, and I did not feel the need to change them even though I have a healthy stash of speakers to do so. I also added casters...got them from home depot and installed them. I have zero complaints about this cab, it's perfect.
