Joyo 212V 2x12 Vintage 30 Speaker Cabinet Review - At Gig Volume!

[@clintonmaher6930]

I've got the exact same one in a 1x12 - sounds as good as any other cab I've ever tried.

[@73prd]

Is the cab plywood or mdf

[@thehound2161]

I have gone full deep on the Joyo and Harley Benton from Thomann music in Germany. After a dozen pedals, and 4 guitars i would not hesitate to grab any of their products. I can be convinced that these products are not the finest on the market but i can not be convinced that they wont provide exactly what i need and like. The V-30 loaded cabs at Thomann are like the Black Friday deals on those 4 televisions in stock, but you will actually get one of the cabinets from Thomann if you desire.

[@proteus2103]

I'm about to, honestly.

[@guitarocd9984]

It's good to see reviews on speakers. For a civilian it's impossible to demo speakers. That's why I never focused on the speakers. I never knew which one to buy.

[@proteus2103]

V30's are great to start with. Balanced, defined, in a word, killer.

[@guitarocd9984]

I've been thinking about the V30s for years. Just never pulled the trigger. I have the same 70 80 speakers. I've had them for 20 years. Not because I like them or not like them it's just what I have.

[@danfango1333]

Switched stock speaker in a Blackstar ht20 for a Vintage 30. Turned out lovely. Different amp 🌴

[@peterschmidt9942]

Looks better than the photos on the site - I always thought the fronts were slanted. And it's a lot bigger than I thought as well. The port in the back's a great idea as is the wheels. I've been thinking about getting the G12T-75 version.

[@PooNinja]

maybe a shoot out with this , a HB 212v 30 cab, and the marshall ? I like the open/closed back option :)

[@proteus2103]

This.

[@PooNinja]

@@proteus2103 Like that?

[@davidbranch397]

was it you that also has the Harley Benton 2x12 v30 cab that you could compare them both?

[@paulmorgan8254]

I liked the nod to Fleetwood Mac's Dragonfly at the start. I remember seeing a Celestion demo at a music show and the guitarist was switching between 412 cabs with these, G12T-75 and I think it was original Greenbacks but the Vintage 30's were my favourites as I'm a straight ahead classic rocker. Another speaker I recommend is the Fane Classic 10, built a home made 410 cab with them and they sounded great.

[@petebrown3715]

Thanks for the review Shane. Outstanding cabinet. Nice n loud👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸

[@moreorlesslikeso]

You should bear in mind that when plugging in an 8 Ohms amp output into the cabinet and setting the switch to 4 Ohms you're actually running an 4 Ohms load at an 8 Ohms output. You are NOT getting an 8 Ohms cabinet this way as two 8 Ohms speakers - as are used here - can be either wired parallel or in series making them either 4 Ohms or 16 Ohms combined (for mono use). I guess that when using both jacks for stereo use there is some switch on the left hand jack that separates the 2 speakers and just creates 2 independent 8 Ohms circuits this way.

[@rossferro8035]

Yep that's how I understand it! Right socket is 4 ohms if slide switch is selected to left and 16 ohms if slide switch is selected to right. The only time you get 8 ohms is if you use the two individual socket inputs and two separate amps !

[@silverburst3112]

Ross Ferro so you can run 2 amps into this each using a speaker. If single amp and your amp supports it you use 4 or 16 ohms to use both speakers?!

[@gerritdodge3246]

More than I'll ever need, but great review. Love those deep distorted tones. Thank you!

[@toddflowers8052]

Great demo/review as always mate ! Thanks ! :-)

[@BeardedBluesDude]

Nice little 2-12 cabinet. The think I like about a cab like that is the ability to try different speakers with each other rather than just two of the same. Nce vid Shane

[@oncameramastery]

I really enjoyed this review, also i loved the comical shaking camera effect when things got crazy! 😊 Looking forward to the shootout with the Marshal cab, keep up the great work Shane! 👍👍👍

[@silverburst3112]

Pre-order done!! Can’t wait to use with my zombie, Jim Root terror and 6505mh

[@abc123gpl]

i had two Celestion Vintage 30 in a 2x12" closed cab with 4 different Stratocaster Guitars and didn,t like them ( Speakers ) at all. now i have this speakers in an open cabinet and now i like them much better. i play clean sound only.

[@darrylmedley6509]

Vocabulary update: "Little Wheelie Feet" = Casters

[@DMSProduktions]

CASTORS!

[@DMSProduktions]

@Ben Hackett Oh I went the castor route back in my 20s!

[@SkalvarProductions]

Small tip: you might wanna fix the links in the description for the US/Canada/EU section because the Cabinet and Zombie links direct to the Jackman head.

[@DMSProduktions]

Sounded a bit muffled with either amp, like it had a blanket over it! Strange. For $649 it's not ticking all the boxes for me. HB 2X12 with V30s seems a better choice. Good demo Shane! \m/

[@proteus2103]

Cab shootout??

[@peterschmidt9942]

@DMSProduktions The trick is wait until they go on sale, then they're about $499. Still a little pricier than the HB, but they ship from Oz. They're also a tad bigger than the HB (I've got a HB cab at home).

[@DMSProduktions]

@@peterschmidt9942 Sorry, bigger is NOT better for me! Still sounds muffled for some reason! I need as compact as possible!

[@peterschmidt9942]

@@DMSProduktions Sorry, I was just explaining the physical size of the joyo was bigger than the HB. not necessarily any better. I do like the look of the HB's. I got the cheaper cab and it sound decent - especially for the price.

[@DMSProduktions]

@@peterschmidt9942 Actually the stock speaker model I thought, actually sounded better, more rounded than the V30 loaded model. But Here, I could get the V30 loaded model, FLIP both the Celestions on Ebay for more than I paid for the box, and fit a pair of LORANTZ'S for cheaper, and have a truly killer 2x12!

[@danielleahy8637]

Regarding the rear input, you’re saying left and pointing right! I’m so confused. Regardless I picked up a used one and keen to plug it in for use with an 8 ohm head! Fingers crossed

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

212V is somewhat confusing, certainly on the back, being similar tot 110V, 220V/230V, which is an important indicator.

[@highgainmaster7856]

Open back side is not 18 mm plywood; only mdf

[@owwillis]

I really want the HB vertical 2x12. I didn’t know Joyo made one also. Will have to check them out.

[@highgainmaster7856]

I have hb cabinet joyo is way better than hb.i played v30one.

[@lyleanderson5407]

I miss the days of buying an old cabinet with EVs or Celestion, chopping it up into two and getting two cabinets for a fraction of the cost. I recently purchase a 2 x 12 amp and bring a small spare head as back up which solves a ton of issues.

[@73prd]

Love this im buying the 412

[@TheJleerocker]

Could not find the JOYO 212V for sale, anywhere on the internet . Bummer ! JOYO is manufactured in China. Thier website does noy offer this cabinet . So where did you get this one ?

[@andreaflores8334]

Please review Joyo D-Seed 2!!

[@joebentry]

Demo of the port OPEN?

[@guitarsehole]

This is a great demo! I'm hoping to pick one of these up today. And thanks for that explanation regarding 8 ohm amps! Although, it's still a bit confusing to me. So if I just set my amp to 16ohm output, I guess I can use any input?

[@silverburst3112]

I hate how it says “normal” mode in the middle of the switching according to the manual yet you can’t select a middle position. Would be nice to figure out as it says both speakers with a 8ohm amp in normal mode but doesn’t really exist

[@richardmarreiros]

I bought the Super Crush 100 head , which for full 100 watts output it needs to run at 8 ohms, so I plug it into the left speaker input and then switch in middle of amp move to the left where it says 4 ohm? is that correct? I' ve tried to contact Joyo

[@REBELSCL]

I’d like to hear the 412...

[@johnnorth9355]

A good cab is often the difference between mediocre and great sounds and this sounds really good - not sure I would buy one though as my neighbours complain even as it is ! :-) .

[@scottywhittaker287]

Maybe listening with headphones wasn't the smartest choice lol. Pretty amazing considering you was running a 20 watt amp. Joyo is coming out with some great affordable products.

[@venjhammet]

Whoah that's very loud...I had to minimize my vol..lol

[@jimmyparris9892]

Shane, I hope you start wearing some ear attenuators.

[@silverburst3112]

Any chance to get the info Joyo sent you?!

[@SplinteredCompany]

I have the 1x12 cab, ripper cab!!

[@proteus2103]

That's a solid review. LOL

[@SplinteredCompany]

It's not a review.

[@toesoverthenose]

Do you have any experience with a Peavey Transtube Special 212?

[@Amiga1200_Juicer]

is it mdf or birch?

[@jojosoto8295]

I can't find this cab anywhere 😭

[@stevanaczel7785]

Hey Shane ,like your channel mate ,bought the Artist Tweed tone 20r after watching your channel ,LUV IT Great Amp .I recently purchased a Marshall SC20 head ,would the Joyo 212 cabinet go with the Marshall want to go 8 ohms into cab for both speakers working will it work with out blowing my Amp ,cheers mate .

[@intheblues]

Mate, I am sorry I can't remember exactly how this cabinet works. I ended up having to move it on due to its size and lack of space here. I think from memory it has a switch on the back or two different inputs for various OHMs. I should hopefully have covered it in the video

[@troywm1016]

not in US yet ?

[@proteus2103]

Not sure.

[@mattcartycreative]

Hey Shane. How has this cab held up after 2 years? Looking at getting one of these and Marshall DSL20H. Would appreciate your thoughts. Cheers

[@KirylParkhomenka]

Hey man! Did you finally try it with DSL20? I want to buy the same setup now :)

[@BoyAditya]

I wonder if the quality built the same with Harley Benton 2x12🤔 ... I know Harley Benton only rebrand of joyo, but why their cabinet 2x12 cheaper than this joyo?🤔 ... Do they actually subsidised the Harley Benton brand?🤔

[@GrimYak]

Something Different Yes, Joyo is OEM of HB.

[@GrimYak]

Boy Aditya looks like HB subsidizes themselves and selling some for little to no profit.

[@highgainmaster7856]

Not the same cabinet harley is cheap thin plywood joyo is 18 mm real plywood with caster.

[@cornpop3683]

Cool man

[@ohkey2999]

China vintage 30 for joyo right?

[@intheblues]

99% of Celestion speakers are made in China and have been for years.

[@willieduwe1]

Howabout an artist tc59 tele review

[@edpetrik501]

Errr...just curious...Is it very cold in your place ...or do you just enjoy wearing ...sweats / hoodies ? 😎🎸

[@curtismuma1931]

Are those speakers the made in China version? They keep that info on the down low

[@benlogan430]

Curtis Muma almost positive the V30 is the real deal? Not branded imports. For the retail on this cab I’d say they would have to be the real celestion or it’s not a good price at all. Got an Ibanez cab with the imported one ( which aren’t too shabby) but the 1/12 was under $100 and $199 for the two. HB has the same only for like Half the price! I’ve been trying not to order the 2/12 HB from Thoman. It’s cheaper than just buying the V30 speakers?

[@hinterlandrider5300]

All Celestion Vintage 30's are made in China these days, with acceptation of mesa boogie cabs, they get UK made v30's.

[@ErebosGR]

I hope you're wearing ear plugs...

[@ErebosGR]

@Ben Hackett I HOPE YOU'RE WEARING EAR PLUGS.

[@proteus2103]

That's not bad...

[@SeasonedSalmon]

I take it Joyo aren't actually selling these anymore considering I can't find prices anywhere online. It's a real bummer.
