This Sound City L 412 is owned by Frank Iero
I found this 4x12 cabinet in the window of a vintage guitar store in NJ while having a walk with my wife. I bought it to match the Sound City 120 Head that I purchased from a friend in England earlier that year. Such a solid cab, built like an absolute tank, constructed very well, and louder than god's revolver. Together, this rig is the loudest amp I have ever played and or heard in my entire life. WARNING: Please be careful, with a great amp like this comes great responsibility. You will hurt yourself and others if you turn it all the way up, in a wonderful ripping sort of way." - Frank
