Description

Embrace the power and clarity that comes with the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Cabinet - a 120W 2x12" Slant Vertical marvel designed for those who crave the Slant Cab style and tone but find the 4x12 too cumbersome. This cabinet stands out in the realm of guitar amplifiers, offering a compact solution without sacrificing the massive sonic footprint you desire. Whether you're gigging, recording, or just jamming at home, its design ensures you get the monitor effect benefit, with the top speaker's slant providing direct sound feedback that enhances your performance by allowing better monitoring of your tone.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Cabinet doesn't just bring the noise; it's a testament to durability and quality. Made from the finest void-free, marine-grade Baltic birch, this cabinet is built to last. Its construction features super-strong rabbet corners, glued and nailed for extra resilience, while the speaker baffles boast superior dado joint construction, fortified with bracing for unmatched stability. The grille, a separate entity wrapped around the grille board and not the baffle board, is crafted from strong twisted jute dipped in a special coating. This not only ensures durability but also filters the top end for a sweeter, more pleasing sonic response. Whether you're aiming to fool the crowd into thinking you've brought a 4x12 on stage or just seeking that perfect blend of punch, detail, and tone, the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Cabinet is your ally.

Key Features:

  • 120W power handling, perfect for gigs, recording sessions, and home use
  • 2x12" configuration in a Slant Vertical design for optimal sound monitoring
  • Similar interior area and sonic footprint to the Horizontal 2x12 Recto cab, but in a more manageable size
  • Constructed from high-quality, void-free, marine-grade Baltic birch for durability
  • Robust rabbet corners that are glued and nailed for added strength
  • Superior dado joint construction on speaker baffles, reinforced with bracing for stability
