Sound Quality

I mainly use my '98 American Std. Strat through a Peavey Express 112 60W combo with the Mills 212B as an extension cabinet. You could say the Peavey is the weak link in the chain, but the 212B takes the sound to places the amp's speaker couldn't touch. The cabinet will take anything you throw at it and smile for more. Great overdriven and distorted sounds w/ right setups. Really sounds good coming through the neck pickup with a smooth, mild distortion. Plenty of sound to fill your average small bar, tone will separate you from those who have come before.

Everything appears to be very solidly and meticulously put together. Its made of the finest materials through and through so I don't anticipate problems. It gets the job done, no questions asked.

Ive been playing for 8 or 9 years now. As a college student, this cabinet is perfect for playing in any environment. It perfectly suits my needs.
Mills Acoustics is a new company. I was skeptical. Don't be misled by their short history. These guys have something special going on. They only build cabinets. Not guitars, not amplifiers, not effects, just cabinets. Mills represents quality products, great customer service, and affordable prices, the best of both worlds between botique amps and mass-produced Marshalls, but put together and a seemingly indestructable package. I heard that Wes Jeans, an up and coming blues guitarist, is playing through Mills cabinets now and I'm not surprised at all. Look for more and more professionals to get on board in the near future. I recommend checking out millsacoustics.com and taking a look for yourself. If you do, you just might end up with one hell of a cabinet.
