Ideal 1 x 12" Speaker Cabinet
I really like this speaker cabinet, although it only has one speaker I think the size/ large space inside the cabinet gives the speaker more headroom which really works well.

Versatile cabinet excels in clean and heavy tones
It´s a very trustable cabinet. Very good on the clean sounds and can handle with heavier sounds.
