Great cab!!

It's a perfect guitar cabinet for not a lot of money! There is a little sizzle in the high frequency when you play with a lot of gain in the beginning but it become a little bit smooter the more you use it!

Unbelievable for the price.

I bought this cabinet and it sounds excellent. Well made and it costs the same as just the 2 Celestion speakers without the cabinet here in the States.

Sound improves when you open up the volume a bit.

My initial impression was -- this thing is big. The dimensions are listed, but it is bigger than any of the common 2x12 horizontal cabinets (Mesa, EVH, etc.), and I'm not sure why. That would be the only change I feel is warranted, less material, lower freight, and easier to tote around!

The cabinet is high-quality. My friends instantly wanted to know where I got it when I walked into the room with it. It's a little darker sounding, and while I was impressed the last few weeks playing through it in my basement, it really sounded much better at higher volume when playing with my band. That's the way it is with many amps and cabinets, and I was truly pleased -- it sounded really, very good!

If you need a 2x12 cabinet, you will not regret purchasing this one. If I had to go back and make another cabinet purchase, this would still be the one!

Totally eggscellent!

I have been using my 2x12 for about 3 years now, and my god does it rock! I currently use it with a Boss Katana MK2 and previously used an Orange CR120 and they both sound absolutely great with it. I highly recommend this cab, one of the best purchases I've ever made!

Fantastic cabinet

This cabinet is everything it advertises itself to be. First, it sounds great. Tight and punchy. It is sturdily built. The handles are sturdy. I have tested it with the following amps:

- Marshall JCM2000 TSL (this cab corrects every sin of those wolverine speakers!)

- Orange micro dark (excellent)

- Boss Katana mkii Head (excellent from clean to grit to dirty)

What could be improved? The tolex job could be a little neater at the corners on the one I received. That’s about it.

This is a fine speaker cabinet.

Going cheap? GO FOR THIS

I bought this to get myself into the cab world, and for that purpose, it was great. Using it with a Hotone Ampero and I'm really happy with how it sounds, I only really use it with my band while rehearsing, but for that purpose it's great.

Great for the price

Of course I got those for the price,! Wanted vintage 30s, corners were a bit beat up in shipping, but still came solid! Sounds a bit tight! But playing through it. Need to break in a bit, but sound great!

Can't beat vintage 30s in a 2x12 for this price

Sounds great

I was looking for a closed back cab with v30s in my search for a better metal tone. This thing shipped really fast and I had it in 3 days. This was faster then most things I order on Amazon. I live in the west coast for reference. That cab seems sturdy and sounds way better and alot less fizzy then my open back with 2 70/80s. I am very happy with the sound and the speakers aren't even broke in yet. My only complaint is the packaging and quality. The cab came in a single layer box with foam on the corners. When I took it out there was two dents in the front of the amp. They are not super noticable, but still annoying. And probably the worst part is both top front metal corners are dented. This does not seems like it would have been shipping damage like the other dents. All the corners on the shipping box where still in good shape and with the foam on them it makes it seem like it happened before shipping. I would probably buy again because of the price point for a casual player. Just beware it may not come in perfect condition. For 100 in shipping some extra foam or better box would have gone a long way.

Amazing Cab

This cab is hands down the best 2x12 for the price. It seems to be a perfect match for all of my Marshall amps. It is definitely at its best when the OD or distortion is cranked. Seems like a solid build too. I have had my first one for three years and just ordered another. Best value there is.
