1968 Marshall 4x12 Cabinet
Marshall · cabinet
The Marshall 4x12 cabinet, in production in various forms since the mid-1960s, is the standard-bearer for British rock guitar cabinets, pairing four Celestion-loaded speakers to give the volume and low-end weight that Marshall stacks are known for. A 1968 example predates the master-volume JCM800 era and would typically have been run with a Marshall Plexi head of the same period, the non-master-volume design that defined the British hard rock and blues rock sound of the late 1960s. It is catalogued here with a Joe Bonamassa association.
