The Seventy 80 is a modern-sounding Celestion with epic power handling

Celestion's Seventy 80 gives you modern British tone with gutsy midrange and plenty of top end punch. Celestions are a staple of modern music. Starting in the 1960s, they helped define generations of guitar tone. The Seventy 80 takes the sound of Celestion's classic original G12M Greenback ceramic speaker to the max. Characterized by its hefty bottom end, aggressive mids, crisp highs, and robust volume handling, this speaker sounds great no matter what style of music you play. When we're searching for a modern Brit-flavored speaker here at Sweetwater, we reach for the Seventy 80.

Marshall MX212AR Features:

  • 2 x 12" extension cabinet voiced for DSL20HR heads
  • Celestion Seventy 80 speakers yield a muscular British sound with robust mids and gut-punching top end
  • Exhibits deep bass, smooth mids, colorful highs, and epic power handling

2X12 Marshall Cab

Paired w/BOSS Katana MK2 Head she is smokin' like MFer! Best bang-fer-buck, hands down!

Yo

Marshall builds quality stuff. I had bought this speaker cabinet to replace another I had. This thing is built like a tank. Ok, it's not made of steel, but is well made. 100% better than my last one. Not only is it built better, it also is packed better. My last cabinet (under a different company) came in with holes in the box, a nick in the tolex, and speaker grille pushed in. Needless to say, I sent it back. The Marshall, no problems. I think the Marshall has better speakers too. It sounds better. Great job Marshall. Great job Sweetwater for carrying great stuff. Most of all, Thank You Sweetwater's, Andy Rice.

I ordered this cab on a Friday at noon. I received it on Saturday. Mike Goodlove has sold me a bunch of equipment. He never steers me wrong! I paired this cab with a orange dark terror. It sounds so good I can chug it or play crystal clear cleans. It's pretty heavy so gigging would be a work out. I have a home studio so that's where it will stay. I would strongly recommend mike and this cabinet. It will blow your hair back!

Good for the money

This cab makes you happy for a while, then you realize it's missing something. I have two, one paired with a Mesa Mini Rectifier and the other paired with a Marshall SV20H. I did have one of them paired with a Marshall DSL20HR and it did not sound good at all. Very muddy, even clean. I'll be replacing the speakers with Eminence Swamp Thangs and Texas Heats (one of each per cab). If you want a decent cab that won't break the bank after buying a good amp, this would be what I recommend. Just know you might want to change out the speakers for better ones down the road.

Marshall 2x12

I gave it a good workout this weekend in a big concert hall and it performed just as I hoped it would. For the price it is excellent.

There are countless "British"-style guitar amplifiers out there, but take it from the lifelong guitarists and tone connoisseurs at Sweetwater, when it comes to Marshall tone, there's nothing like the real thing. We've played them all, from vintage JTM45s and the ultra-cool Plexi reissue to modern handmade masterpieces such as the JVM410. There isn't a model among them we can't recommend with total confidence, and that includes their more affordable models too, like MG, DSL, and Code series amps. Thanks to our tight relationship with Marshall, Sweetwater's always on the cutting edge of their latest designs, custom models, and limited-edition gems. If you want iconic tone from across the pond, you want Marshall, and your Sweetwater Sales Engineer will help you find the perfect one.
