Komet 4x12
Komet · amplifier
Komet Amplification, a boutique amp builder founded with input from veteran amp designers with a Carr Amplifiers pedigree, builds cabinets specifically voiced to match its own hand-wired tube heads such as the Concorde and 60 Duo Twin rather than as generic, one-size-fits-all cabs. A 4x12 configuration from Komet follows the classic four-speaker closed or open-back format associated with higher-headroom stage rigs, aimed at players who want the fuller low end and increased stage volume that four speakers provide over a 1x12 or 2x12 combo. Specific speaker model and cabinet construction details for this exact listing aren't confirmed from available sources.
