I was looking for a verticle slanted, not too expensive, 2x12. Preferably with Vintage 30's. It didn't exist. I thought "why doesn't the Vintage 212 Harley Benton come in slanted vertical, that would be perfect." One day it did arrive as a new product on the website. Yes! Im downsizing from valve amps to the Boss Katana Head and this cabinet is a perfect match, and fits like a glove. I also wanted better sound projection for myself in small rehearsal rooms. A regular 2x12 projects the sound low, even if you tilt it. The sound of this HB is excellent. A little less ?thump? than the great Orange PPC212OB which has the same speakers, but you could monitor the treble and presence response easily even quite close to the cab. And since it?s 8 ohms you get all the 100 watts from the Katana. Build quality is very good. Not very heavy duty, but reasonably well made.
