2 x 12 cab so you won't get many features. It's a cab with some speakers and an input jack. However at Matamp you can pick a basic design and then cutsomise it with your own covering, grill cloth, speakers and more. Mine is a retro 2 x 12 (looks like half a Marshall 4 x 12) with black tolex and black grill cloth with white piping, protected corners. I asked for a G12H and vintage 30 speakers and its a 60 watt, 16 ohm cab. Made 2008 especially for me by the MAtamp guys in Nottingham England. Cost 366 GBP inc delivery

Use this with a strat plus and a Gibson les paul deluxe into an Orange Tiny Terro at the moment. The G12 gets the mids and the vintage 30 the lows and highs so you get a very full sound. Lovin this with the tiny terror(an interim head at the moment). Only gave it a nine as there may be some other cab ou there that I've not heard thats better. But could it beat the price. ITs cheaper than the orange 2 x 12 and just about another 2 x 12 out there. Play mostly a blues rock style and loving the sound with the amp overdriving naturally.

Fantastic. When you ring the company the people who answer the phone are the same people who build the thing for you!! Not someone in an office with a vague knowledge, but the actual builders!!!!

Play mostly blues rock style. Will it do heavy metal don't know, but why not as the speakers are capable. At the end of the day if you want something more "tweaked" for that, ring them and ask and get whatever speakers you want!!! Value for money couldn't be beat.
