Alessandro Open Back 2x12 Cabinet
Alessandro · cabinet
This Alessandro open-back 2x12 cabinet is built by the small American boutique amplifier maker George Alessandro, pairing two twelve-inch speakers in an open-backed enclosure. Open-back cabinets radiate sound both forward and rearward, giving a less directional, more ambient projection than sealed cabinets, a design choice associated with vintage American combo amps such as Fender Twins rather than the closed-back cabinets typical of British high-gain rigs. It is associated in this catalogue with John Mayer, whose blues-influenced clean and lightly overdriven tones suit that open, dimensional cabinet character.
