The Rivera Silent Sister ISO Cabinet revolutionizes the way you experience your guitar amp, whether you're on stage or in the studio. This innovative isolation cabinet lets you dial in your amp to achieve the coveted tones without overwhelming your space with excessive volume. Designed with a Celestion G12T-75 speaker, this cabinet ensures your sound remains pristine and powerful. The Silent Sister is constructed from hardwood-core plywood, offering durability without sacrificing tonal clarity.

Equipped with two pre-wired microphone goosenecks, this cabinet allows for seamless mic placement and connection through XLR outputs, making your setup smooth and efficient.

In the studio, it enables you to track guitars live alongside other instruments without worrying about signal bleed, making it an invaluable tool for any recording session.

Great product

The Silent Sister is a great solution to the problem of recording guitars without making yourself deaf and driving everyone else crazy. It is an awesome product. I only wish they offered the Vintage Celestion 30 model in a black cabinet.

You can't change the speaker?

You could change the speaker, but it would take some work (and $$$s). My point is that you can only buy a new Silent Sister with Celestion Vintage 30s in the tan model; the black models all have some slightly less high-end type of Celestion speaker. Based purely on aesthetics I thought I would prefer the black model when I first went to get one. Now that some time has gone by I don't really care any more; I might even prefer the tan one now that I'm used to it!
