MILLS Acoustics Mach 212B Cabinet

Beautiful construction and easy to move... solid design! Custom people! CUSTOM... features!? You call the shots.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally someone created a musical sounding cab for guitarists/bassists.

NOTHING COMPARES TO MILLS ACOUSTICS. If you're playing anything else, you're not getting the incredible tone you'd get if you bought one of these bad boys!

Dave and Susie are reliable and have created a beautifully relaible company/product! Their cabs are built so tough, you could drop it off a five story building and they'd still sing!

Can't say enough! Incredible experience... give 'em a call!!!

The rating system isn't high enough on this sight for Dave Mills, lol!

Mine is a custom job. I wanted something a little more unique than the standard black production model, so through several phone discussions with Dave (he makes time to talk to his clients), we came up with this...

Closed Back - 16ohm - 60watts
One (1) V30 and One (1) G12H30
Black with White Wheat Grillcloth - Very "Industrial Elegant"
Removable Casters

Perfect...!!!

What can I say? Like some of the other owners, Dave talks the cabs up so much that you can't help but be a bit skeptical. After all, it is just a speaker cab, right? All I can tell you is that I plugged my Kasha into it, broke in the cab for about 15 minutes and have never looked back. My rig is designed to be versatile because I need to pull of literally any style of music. This cab is the perfect compliment to the versatility and tone of the amp. Stock Tele Deluxe straight in and you'll never wanna unplug it - Fantastic!!!

Built like a tank... Seriously!!! I don't even think Mills can take them apart after they build them...

THE OWNER will discuss, design and spec the cab the way YOU want it... THE OWNER will take YOUR payment... THE OWNER will build YOUR cab HIMSELF... THE OWNER will update YOU on the status of the build... THE OWNER will pack YOUR cab - really well!!!... and THE OWNER will stand behind the box to the death if need be...!!!

Always makes time to chat after the sale too when he possibly can... Good Ole' Country Boy full of Southern Hospitality!!!

A/B'd this cab against Matchless and Orange cabs and there ws no comparison... The other 2 guitarists in one of my bands have Mills cabs too and the bass player is looking to buy a 610 - Addicted to them - Good stuff!!!

This Cabinet is a slighly oversized 212 with V30s. Very sturdy and road worthy. Mine is black and sexy as can be. Corners are reinforced and very heavy duty. You can't ask for any thing more from a speaker cabinet.

I bought this cabinet to go with my new Elmwood Modena 60. And oh what a match! I wouldn't have normally bought something with V30s but the Modena just loves them. This cabinet is just plain sic! Punchy, Loud, and beautiful to boot. The clarity is unreal.

I can't imagine anything going wrong with this cab. It is built just too good.

Dave is just a great guy to deal with who believes 100% in his products. You can tell when you talk or email him. He is as excited as you are about the purchase. You actually become part of his family. He keeps you posted on all progress and even follows up after delivery.

I have a lot of highend gear because I can afford it, and it is my passion. I play and own Elmwood, Cornford, Soldano, and this is my favorite cabinet. I will not hesitate to purchase again from Mills. As Dave would say "You will know where my head is regarding tone, within seconds of plugging in". Hey it's True!

Normally it would be hard to list features on a speaker cabinet. This is not the case with the Mills Mach 212B.
The cab is impressive in size. The Mills website lists the dimensions as 20"H x 32"W x 14.75"D.
The cab's construction is very solid. It's made from 13-ply baltic birch. They also use 1/8 inch steel plates to reinforce the corners.
My cab is set to 8 ohms and has a power rating of 140 Watts.
The cab is loaded with two Celestion Vintage 30s.

I have to admit my skepticism.
I also have to admit that I was blown away with the sound.
I played the cab for about an hour when it arrived, and was immediatley overwelmed with tones that I had no idea my amp produced. It's as if I have a whole other dimension to my tone now!
Being the tone snob that I am, I A/B'ed the Mills Mach 212B and a M@rsh@ll 4x12 cabinet. When I switched to the Mills it were as if someone took the earmuffs off of my head. The Mills 212B dwarfed the M@sh@ll 4x12!
C'mon, if a drummer notices your guitar tone, It's got to be drastic!
One other thing that needs to be said.....From a technical aspect, they're are two main things that DRASTICALLY change an amps tone.....The output transformer, and first and foremost...the Speaker/Cabinet. In other words, It's more than worth it!!

I have only had the cab for about a month, but I don't think I could bust it if I wanted to.
Based on the construction quality, reliability will not be an issue.

This is by far the most customer-driven company that I have ever dealt with. Dave is easy to get ahold of, and always responds quickly to any questions you might have. He also keeps you very well informed during the build processes.

I've never had to deal with repairs, and doubt that I will have to.

I've been playing professionally for the last 5 years. I've tried a variety of gear. I am a self-proclaimed tone snob, who expects the best out of his gear. Both tonally, and reliability.
The main two amps that I have used to push this cab are a Rivera 55, and a Frenzel FM25. Both amps sound better than they ever have. From smooth british distortion, to fender cleans, this cab is very articulate. If you want to hear what your amp can really do, run it through a Mills Accoustics Cab!

This is my second Mills cab. My first one was bought around the middle of 2005 and it was their Afterburner 412B. This cab is the Mach 212B with twin Celestion Vintage 30's in it. The 412 cab blew me away (as you can read in my previous review), but this little beast is absolutely amazing! It's a 2x12 cab which is built to the same high standards as their 412s and it weighs a ton for a 212. It has heavy duty rubber feet and recessed side handles with an external "out" for chaining. The power and tone this thing puts out will put most 4x12 cabs to shame. I would never have believed it without hearing it.

Just like it's big brother, this "little monster", as Dave calls it, puts out a ton of warm, pure bottom and is dead-on clear and crisp through the mids and highs...not brittle but rich and full. My amps have never come remotely close to sounding like they should, through any other extension cab I've tried and I have tried them all. The Mills cab has brought them to life and will deliver the tone they were designed for. To say I'm shocked by this cab's performance would be a huge understatement. It is quite simply, stunning for any cab...let alone a 2x12. As much as I love my Afterburner 412, this cab will be more than enough for most of our medium to large gigs. These guys know what they are doing and in my opinion will own the guitar cab market in short order. They deserve it. I will play NO OTHER cab.

I don't believe you could kill it if you tried. The 412 has been with me for over a year and a half, through dozens and dozens of gigs and hasn't broken a sweat. Little brother appears just as tough.

I have had no need of repairs of any sort. I have called Dave on several occasions just to ask questions and tell him how pleased I've been with his cabs. He loves hearing this kind of stuff even though you'd think he would be used to it by now. He is all about his Customers and does what is needed to make sure they are happy. He and his team build the highest quality guitar cabs in existence. They know this, they are proud of this and can back it up 100%.

I've been playing professionally now for almost 10 years. I still have my Strat Custom and Mesa Dual Rec head and also lots of other gear including ESP EC1000 with EMGs, Modded LP Studio, JCM 900 and 2000. I've owned all the cabs at one time or another, it seems. Before the Mills cabs, I thought my rig sounded sweet and I guess it did. I absolutely realize now how important THE CAB is to tone. Dave kept telling me this early on but I just didn't appreciate it until I got them. I would have paid 3 times the price for either of these cabs and would still be completely happy. He says "There is no equal, period". The man knows what he's talking about.
