Q: What are the benefits of a horizontal 2x12 speaker configuration?

A horizontal 2x12 configuration offers a wider sound dispersion compared to a vertical setup, which can be beneficial for filling a stage or rehearsal space. It also provides a stable platform for most amplifier heads. The closed-back design enhances bass response and projection, giving you a tight, punchy low end.

This thing rips! Take the casters off and put it directly on the floor. You won't be disappointed.

I'm down sizing from a 4x12 to this beauty and loving every minute of it. The sound is beyond incredible. It's very tight, full and rich. Yes it's heavy but it exudes quality!

Early 2000s I had a rig whose tone was the best I ever heard. A Mesa Boogie dual rec tremoverb head and a 2x12 closed back cabinet. My wife got pregnant and all my high-end gear had to go. After the financial hardships of fatherhood...I have been able to claw my way back to tone town! Was able to purchase another Tremoverb head a few years ago but couldn't get that tone I was looking for. Try as I may, I couldn't find a used boogie cabinet at a good price so I bit the bullet and bought a new one. I was skeptical of new gear and still am a little but these new rectifier cabs sound exactly the way I remember them all those years ago! Mesa doesn't stray too far from formula and I can appreciate it! I did find some cosmetic flaws on thr brand new cabinet but sweetwater and Mesa took care of me with some sweet t shirts and candies. Good people at Petaluma and Sweetwater HQ! Thanks,Jack Wellington!

I've had this cab for years now. Love the absolutely massive punch. Very articulate. Highest quality. I run a mini rec on top of it, turning the cab on end. Unorthodox but looks very cool.

I purchased this tremendous cabinet to run a Mesa MK 5 35 watt head.For me these paired together produce a magical sound.The clarity this cabinet produces a very tight Clear sound from Clean to The MK 5s Legendary Boogie.Ask your Rep and see if there in stock.This is a serious cabinet for working musicians that can take a beating.Boogie IMHO make the best quality cabinets.Thx for listening

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Charlie Davis

This is an incredibly versatile cabinet that can find a place in almost any guitar setup. As a recording engineer, I've seen this used with all types of guitar heads ranging from old Fenders to modern high gain amplifiers. If you need a cabinet that will adapt to different styles and gear, this is a great solution.

Chris McCown

I had one of these and I parted with it. I have regretted it ever since. There are many guitar cabinets to choose from, and even with the selection available, I chose this one again for it' tight and ample low end that remains focused and doesn't get flabby. This is the missing link between a 2 X 12 and a 4 X 12. All Mesa cabinets are hand built with premium materials. Loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s, you can't go wrong! I matched mine up with a Mesa/Boogie Roadster head. I absolutely LOVE the sound of this cabinet! It rocks!

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
