Marshall 1960B-DM Dave Mustaine Cabinet
Marshall · cabinet
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.
