Compliments the MIni Rec perfectly!

Not a lot to say here. This cab sounds great with my Mini Rec. High quality construction and great sound quality. That's all you need. It's perfect!

Great Cabinet

This cabinet sounded great out of the box and sounds better after six months of daily use. It is the essential cabinet for the Mini Rec head, producing all the Rectifier sounds you can think of accurately. Easily portable, solidly built and the included cover make this well worth the price. Even if you have another brand lunchbox head, this is the mini slant cab to get.
Thanks again to Sweetwater for excellent service and quick shipping.

Mesa Mini Rectifier 1 x 12 Slant Cab

Really fantastic and huge sounding ! I am totally satisfied with this slant cab . I put the Mesa/Boogie Mini Rectifier Amp into this 1x12 cab and then side by side compared it to a first generation original Mesa/Boogie 2x12 horizontal cab and this Mini Rec 1x12 cab sounded better ! I used to gig out with the 4x12 cabs and I just put this cab up on a homemade wood box (painted black to match the cab) to put it up more at me - and this cab has a very satisfying , similar feel . A previous reviewer said they should have put a handle on the top of the cab , but I can just turn this square cab to the side and now this handle that was on the side , then becomes the handle on the top now , and it is very well balanced to grab and carry with my guitar in it's gig bag on my shoulder and the Mini Rectifier amp in my other hand and I'm done with the gig and rollin' ! LOVE IT !

Mesa Mini Rectifier Slant Cab does the Job!

This cab is the PERFECT match for the Mine Rectifier. The amp just comes alive, and the cab has plenty of Low End punch to make gigging with this rig in small to medium venues a breeze.

The fact that you can sling the Mini Head over your shoulder, and grab the Mini Recto cab in one hand, and your guitar in the other, means you can go just about anywhere with this rig and have awesome tone at your disposal. Mesa got it right with this one!

A super sweet cab...

I picked up the Mini Recto head shortly after they came out and tried it with various cabs I have in my collection. None of them really meshed the recto's tone and character. Not being satisfied (a symptom of my incurable tone/gear disease) I finally bit the bullet and picked up a straight cab as well as this slant cab. And I'm glad I did. The V30s are the perfect speaker match for the Recto and the matching cabs dish out tight, focused sound. These are probably the best sounding 1 x 12 cabs I've heard, despite their diminutive size. And the build quality is second to none: thick ply, sweet tolex, and jute that's as tight as a drum. The looks are killer and the tone is even better. My only possible gripe is the price, but if you want the best gear you've got to pony up.

Slam dunk for the mini-rec head

The speaker isn't even quite broken in yet and I can already tell this is a great buy. I debated long and hard whether to pay the $$$ for this cab or a cheaper custom cab and I'm glad I got this one. Be aware that a closed back cabinet like this is different from an open back. If you're looking for "chimey" Vox-like sound, this is not for you. If you're into a more focused hard rock, metal or searing solo sound, look no further. Only gripe I have with this cab is lack of handle on top. For something that's billed as being portable, you should be able to carry it with one hand. The side handles look cool, but I'd trade them for a top handle which I'll probably install once the new cab smell has worn off. Cover is high quality and fits perfectly.
