Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Marshall 1960 4x12 is the iconic angled-front guitar cabinet loaded with Celestion speakers (often Vintage 30s or Greenbacks), the standard partner for Marshall heads across rock and metal. It delivers a punchy low end, strong midrange and the classic Marshall projection that defined hard rock. Used by countless players, it is the default high-gain and classic-rock 4x12.

The Marshall 1960B 4x12 Cabinet is a legendary speaker enclosure delivering warm, punchy bass response. Its four 12-inch speakers provide suitable projection for rock and blues amplifiers. The 1960B remains the standard for Marshall tone.
