Marshall Origin 212 A Cabinet

Nice Cab

Bought to go with Origin 20

Great look

Tolex is a little thin

70/80s are a little bright for my taste but overall a nice cab

Good build quality

First I must say this cabinet looks amazing, and this was the reason I bought it, for the looks. The build quality is very good. The stock speakers sound ok , but since I play only rock and metal , I change them with a Vintage 30and a G12-T75 and it sounds fuller now with a bit of extra bass. The construction is not from plywood, it is HDF board for the speaker support and PAL material for the rest. I play it on low volume so for me I did not notice a sound difference, it sounds really good. It looks really nice in the Livingroom with the DSL 20 head

It will kick your chest even with low volume

This cabinet beyond the classic and beautiful look has an amazing sound and enough volume to play in the Hyde Park! I loved the sound it has together with my Carvin V3M amp!

Cons: It's a bit heavy and big for gigging everywhere, so use it on my studio only. I also think a Stereo input option would be very welcome.

Awesome Living Room Cab

I play mostly through a digital preamp with headphones but bought a dsl1 for when i want to play a bit of rock through a real amp. I have a V30 loaded cab that sounds great with the DSL1 but I bought this more for aesthetics and the 212 vertical form factor.

The upward facing speaker spreads the sound in the room better and the cab has a great vintage look. I can't comment on the stock speakers as I swapped for a V30 and a greenback and will make them switchable. Would need to play enough to break them in to comment on them.

Great cab for a living space or small studio and fits the dsl1 nicely, and would be the same for any of marshalls 20watt heads etc.
