Description

The Marshall 1960B-DM is Dave Mustaine's signature straight 4x12 cabinet loaded with custom Celestion Dave Mustaine Vintage 30 speakers, voiced for tight, aggressive thrash-metal projection. It delivers a focused low end and cutting mids that keep fast, palm-muted riffs articulate. Paired with his Marshall and modeler rig, it suits Megadeth-style metal.

The Marshall Mode Four 4x12 (MF400) is a high-power 400-watt cabinet loaded with Celestion speakers, designed for extreme metal volume and tight, aggressive low end. Kerry King uses a wall of them. It delivers massive, punchy projection with a tight, modern voice suited to thrash and heavy metal at high stage volumes.
