Product Overview

The 1960B 4x12" Base Cabinet is a cornerstone of rock history and is widely regarded as one of the best-selling cabinets globally. Renowned for its exceptional sound quality and impactful performance, the 1960B is the "straight" counterpart to the 1960A. Specifically designed to produce a powerful, room-filling sound during live performances, this cabinet effortlessly captures the essence of the 1960s era with its authentic design. Designed, engineered, and handcrafted in the UK, it is a formidable 300W powerhouse built for the stage.

Product Description

• The Foundation of Tone: As a straight-front (base) cabinet, the 1960B possesses a larger internal volume compared to angled versions. This physical design allows the cabinet to produce a thicker, more resonant low-end sound, providing the heavy "thump" and foundation that modern and classic players crave.

• Legendary Celestion Speakers: The cabinet is loaded with four 12” Celestion G12T-75 speakers. These drivers are celebrated for their high-power handling and their ability to stay tight under high-gain settings. They offer a versatile response that complements everything from shimmering cleans to aggressive, saturated distortion.

• Flexible Mono & Stereo Operation: The 1960B is highly adaptable to any rig. It features a switchable input plate that allows you to operate in 16Ω/4Ω mono or 8Ω stereo (150W per side). This makes it perfect for dual-amp setups or integrating stereo effects processors.

• The Ultimate Stack: While the 1960B sounds incredible on its own, it is designed to be the bottom half of the legendary Marshall "Full Stack." Pair it with the 1960A Angled Cabinet to create the most iconic silhouette in the world of guitar amplification.

• British Engineering: Built in Marshall's UK factory, the 1960B is constructed with heavy-duty materials to withstand the rigors of world tours. Its resonant birch plywood construction and precision finger-jointing ensure a "woody" and organic response.
