The Perfect Match for Your Dr. Z Amp

This 1 x 12" extension cabinet is a perfect fit under your Dr. Z 1 x 12" or 2 x 12" combo and is an excellent match for your Dr. Z amp head. This cabinet's Vintage 30 speaker delivers the meaty punch and rich harmonics that made Celestion a household name. A convertible open- and close-back design gives you complete control over the cab's directionality and low-frequency response. If you're looking to build the ultimate Dr. Z amp stack, what are you waiting for? This cab was made for you.

Celestion's trademark meaty punch and rich harmonics

Simply put, this Dr. Z cabinet's Celestion Vintage 30 guitar speaker sounds amazing. It's easily twice as loud as other speakers at the same power level, and it handles gargantuan overdrive with aplomb. Punchy lows, meaty mids, and a creamy, harmonically rich high end make the Vintage 30 the first choice of guitarists everywhere (including quite a few of us here at Sweetwater). Put a killer extension cab in your guitar rig — a Dr. Z with a Celestion Vintage 30.

Convertible open- and closed-back design

Open-back cabinets sound open and natural. Without a back panel to compress their sound, they produce an organic sound with loads of presence and a loose-sounding low end. Open-back cabs are great when you're not using a stage monitor, as their lack of directionality allows you to hear them from all sides. Closed-back cabs, on the other hand, only project sound forward. This hardens their mids and bass, accentuating their low-end punch — that's why lots of hard rock and metal guitarists prefer them. This Dr. Z extension cabinet features a removable rear panel that enables both closed- and open-back operation, giving you the best of both worlds.

Dr. Z Extension Cabinet Features:

  • 60-watt, 8-ohm 1 x 12" extension cabinet
  • Celestion Vintage 30 speaker delivers meaty punch and rich harmonics
  • Convertible open- and closed-back design supply control over the cab's directionality and low-frequency response

Fantastic Speaker Cab

The Dr Z 1x12 Vintage 30 cab is just flat out top of the line build quality. The ability remove panels in the back so easily is "one" of the main reasons I purchased this cab. It's forward and in your face with the back closed, but really opens up when you removed. It's like two different cabinets. The sound of this cabinet is stellar. Very well packaged for shipping too!

Dr Z 1x12 Cab

Great cabinet. Love the convertible back feature! This one came loaded with a Celestation V30. I'm pairing this cab with a Dr Z Lux head. As many have stated the V30 is a bit harsh with the Lux head. I was able to score a Dr Z/Eminence Z12, which is the recommended speaker for this amp. Put that in the cab and it sounds perfect now. So easy five stars if you happen to grab the cab with the speaker you need.

Excuse me Doctor

I received my cabinet and the workmanship is great. The convertible back panel is well designed and makes a big difference in the sound as expected. Problem - the Vintage 30 speaker had terrible cone cry. I asked for a warrantyexchange. I was asked to shoot a video to demonstrate the cone cry, and it was easy, the speaker was easily coaxed into crying. Dr. Z just blew it off and said it was normal. No help from Z. The Sweetwater 2 year warranty was next, and they exchanged the entire cabinet. Sweetwater saved the day. Doctor Z did nothing. Thanks for the help Sweetwater, you guys made a difference when others wouldn't help.
