Using a mid-90's Ampeg VL-1002, the Mesa/Boogie 2x12 Horizontal Rectifier cab is punchy, open, and extrememly tight. I've never been in so happy with a cab, I'm planning on picking up another for stereo!

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!

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.

Great Cab.

Lots of low end, great size and construction.
Top of the line gear.
I used to have a marshall 4x12 1960 slant cab, and I do not regret that I sold it to buy this cab. Really high-end quality!!

Mesa 2x12 Cab...AWESOME!!!

Got this bad boy running off a Mesa Triple Rectifier. Sounds amazing. This cab can really handle some power and is great for playing at home and not blowing your windows out. I would recommend this cab to everyone.

great cab just a little heavy

I've had this since 2004 ish. I've A/B'd this cab with mesa's 4x12. The 2x12 is thicker sounding, not as loud so you can push your amp harder, and lighter than a 4x12. Though it still weights like 75 bls, ugh!

All you need!

I've had the privilege of owning this cab for going on five years now, and it's all I've ever needed. The slight oversizing of the cab along with the closed back, top notch wood and speaker selection(Celestion V30s) make this the hands down best 2x12 cab out there. I use this cab in conjunction with the Mesa Single Rectifier Solo 50 watt head and it just rocks every garage, club and hall I have ever played it at. The only downfall is that it is very heavy. weighing in at about 60 pounds, makes it difficult to carry with one arm, so always make sure a buddy is around! The heavy weight could also attribute to its outstanding tone. With this cab I have always gotten the sound and volume I've wanted without the girth of a 4x12. Sound quality and overall quallity it beat every 4x12 in its price range. And come to think of it I believe you can add casters if the weight is an issue. Trust me on this one, you will not regret buying this cab. Mesa puts out extremely great and quality products. Plus they are such a Home type company any problems you might have you can call and get a hold of a amp engineer. One time I called with a tube question and the manager of artist relations answered me. WOW! Blown away

Great sound, plenty of low end

Beautifully made, excellent craftmanship, heavy. When horizontal on the floor, I had difficulty hearing much high end sound. I turned the cab vertical, and it really rounded out the sound, with much more treble. The cab is so solid, that when vertical, was not tipsy. Really liked the easily removable casters.
