Genz Benz G-Flex 412 Cabinet

I like the versitilty of stereo operation. It has the sickest lowend for metal and the best classic bite and clean ring I have ever used. I also used this cab as a bass cab just for kicks and it SLAMMED!

I use a Les Paul standard flame and a Peavey Wolfgang through an EL Diablo 100. This cab is perfect for this amp. You can't get a cab that will sound better than this. It will make you think you are playing 2 4x12 cabs! I would take it over the Recto's any day. Crisp and clean! LOW END TO SPARE!!

Built VERY well. I also tested the ohm load and it is dead on specs. I would never think of buying anything else.

Best I have seen!

It goes with my El Diablo 100 perfectly. I would put this combo agains the Soldao's, Mesa and Bogners anyday.

2003 model. dealer said that mine came from the naam show. 300 watts, flexed baffle, 4 bass ports, birchwood, metal grill. 8 ohm mono, 4 ohm/ch stereo, plus a mono out. guess that's all you'd need anyway.

I play an Ibanez RG-520 w/ EMG-81/60 b/n. I run a POD 2.0 through the tubeworks 1500 power amp. i play hard rock with some cleans, and with the POD, i can make the cab sound any way i want, like anything else i want. i especially like the flexed baffle and the way it spreads the sound. you can be basically stand anywhere and still hear it great, much to the delight of my parents :)

seems pretty sturdy to me. the metal grill on the front feels very solid. it's a cab.

Every time I emailed genz-benz about either the power amp or this cab, i got a reply back within the next day, and sometimes the same day. Their responses always answered my questions. Good ppl.

Been playing for 5 years and I recently got shacked up with a few other guys in a band. The 2x12 combo farted out like a madman and I had to do something about it. I scoped this baby out for about 4 months before I got it. I compared it to a Mesa Recto 412 standard, and the g-flex won to my ears. As I said before, the POD lets you do anything with it. I've changed so many settings on the POD to get different sounds out of the cab... it's just amazing. And remember, never underestimate the tone controls on your guitar.

Great Stereo separation

I use the G-Flex with a Bogner Ecstasy 101B and it's the best my amp has ever sounded. This is truly the best cabinet I've ever played through.
Great bottom end, clean tones ring like a bell and the lead tone is thick and responsive

I use it 5 nights a week with my band THE BIG ROCK SHOW. www.BigRockShow.com and it sounds amazing night after night.

Never Needed it. Probably never will

The best cabinet I've ever owned. I've got 6 vintage cabs in storage I'm gonna sell everything and go All GENZ BENZ. I plan to add a G-Flex 212 to my everyday gigging rig for a stereo effects in a wet/dry setup

This is a new 2003 Genz Benz G-Flex 4x12 George Lynch signature guitar cabinet that is built of Birch plywood and comes with the GBE 1240-V75 speakers I believe they are 75 watts per speaker being that the cab will handle 300 w/mono...This cabinet is ported on the bottom for a big low end feel. You also get casters but be carefull not to pinch yourself when inserting them to the clamps on the bottom, I came very close! I also purchased the cover that has enough padding to protect it from the weekend gigs going in and out of my car, and it does come with some hevier weight than my other cabs so keep that in mind! You can run this cab in mono or stereo from the back plate that lets you go 8 ohms mono (don't know why it was made different from the G-Flex 2x12 that is 16 ohms mono!?) or 2 / 4ohm outputs for stereo plus the mono extention jack and yes! George Lynch's autograph on the back!......For features I'm very please with what is offered!

I use this cabinet for live gigs and in my home studio, compared it to 3 other cabinets that I own: Marshall basket weave with greenbacks / Hiwatt cabinet with the old fane speakers / Mesa Boogie 4x12 Standard with vintage 30's.....I also have the G-Flex 2x12

I'm using a Tom Anderson Cobra for guitar and a Soldano SLO head/ Hughes and Kettner-TriAmp MKII head. I play many different styles and this cab really captures my sound better that any cabinet I've come across! sure the Marshall has that vintage sound but to me lacks the clarity for the country clean stuff! The Hiwatt really kills in the bottom end category but can't get into the brittle high end that I get from the speakers and the boogie sounds good but sometimes I think it has a blanket over the front.....The G-flex 4x12 is a combination of all 3 cabs without the blanket! Great bottom end response that just gets bigger when cranking it up! It's got great clarity and believe that the front loaded speaker has something to do with that in your face feel!

The speakers sound great! very creamy with a blend of greenback and vintage 30 in one plus having great clarity to a rich bottom end and a fast response with none of that upper high end earbleeding sizzle that I've heard many cabs do and no matter what you do you can't get rid of it!
The one thing I noticed is the farther back you get the bigger it sounds, it doesn't get thin or lose any charecter that some of the other cabs that I've own did! that's great to have when your playing out!

I've had the 2x12 version for 2 years with no problems and hope I have the same luck with the 4x12....

Had some concerns before I purchased the cabinet and was able to talk dirrectly with Jeff Genzler! can't get much better than that!
Thanks Jeff......

If your looking for a new 4x12 Cabinet give this a serious look!
I really enjoy the tones I'm creating with this cabinet from old school to new it can handle it all!!!

The cab was made this year (2003) because it's the first year of the model. I got this cab because I loved my G-Flex 2x12 and always wished they made a 4x12. Now I have both! The only mechanical difference I notice between this cab and at least my G-Flex 2x12 (not sure if the new ones for 2003 are like this) is that the new one doesn't have a 16ohm mono option.

Don't understand why the title for this cab says "412" when the only review is for a 2x12 G-Flex, though... :)

I play this cab with my VHT UltraLead and various Les Pauls (Customs, R7 Goldtop, Standard Mahogany) with various pickups. Think of it like the 2x12 version, but more of it. It has the tightest, pounding bass I've ever felt in a 4x12. It doesn't boom at all, but you feel the bass more than hear it. It's tough to explain. I thought the 2x12 was great in that regard, but this is even better. Mids are nice and crunchy and the highs are smooth. I've always dug the Genz Benz speaker a bit more than the V30, which is what it is supposed to be trying to emulate. They messed up and made a better, smoother, fuller speaker, IMHO... ;)

My band plays Metal. Not necessarily a modern sound, but it is contemporary with more melodic-type leanings. We use standard tuning and drop-d at most. A very tight, punchy cab is extremely important to me. I got rid of a Marshall 1960AV for this cab.

The 2x12 projects extremely well for a 2x12, but it still can't compare with a 4x12, particularly it's own bigger brother.

My 2x12 G-Flex has never pooped out on me. I suspect this won't, either. Actually... I've never had any cab go bad.

Genz Benz support is amazing. I've never had problems with them, but I have asked them several questions over the last two years and *always* got responses from Jeff Genzler himself.

I've been playing about 17 years. If something happened, I'd easily get another one without a second though. The 2x12 is for smaller gigs, the 4x12 is for bigger ones. I was very, very happy when I saw Genz Benz came out with this cab. You have no idea. I chose this because I loved the 2x12 so much and knew this one would cut it.

It's a cabinet.

I have a mockingbird supreme and Mesa dual rectifier head. I prevouslly had a mesa 2x12 recto cab and liked it very well also. Unlike some of the other reveiws I though they were very similar in sound. You get a really big sound with them both. Only negative I can say is that it is alittle big for a 2x12 but it does have really cool handles on the top corners to carry it with so it equals out. The mesa cab was heavier and only had one handle on top wich made it much harder to carry and it was so heavy I was afraid the soft leather handle would break (never did though). Great cab, I don't miss lugging around a 4x12 at all. It maybe doesn't have the coolness factor of a 4x12 but that doesn't matter to me. I don't think you can get a better 2x12 cab than this.

Seems well built. Not much to go wrong unless you blow it up.

never dealt with them

Been playing 20+ years, already listed my gear above. If stolen I would buy it again. I didn't know any one who owned one and orderd it based on the reviews here and some research. I'm really glad I did. It doesn't matter but it is kind of cool to have something everyone else doesn't have (guess thats why I own a B.C. Rich). If you can't get one you won't go wrong with the Recto cab either.
