Big cabinet in small package. This one can autperform many of big 4x12 cabinets. Reason for buying this baby after 4x12 road king cabinet was size that fit in car without compromise the qualiti of tone. And this one rocks without difference. Mesa cabs are known for well built, quality and "good tone". Because the cab is bigger than most 2x12's, you get a deeper tone and the closed back design really projects forward. This is about as close to the same sound as my 4x12 as I can possibly get, in a much more portable package. This cabinet cover all my needs, from cleans to metal and is perfect companion to Mark V, Road King or Mesa Express plus I played on. I know Mesa is expensive here in Europe but deserve status among musicians. So, 5+ for this one.
