Speakers are the last word in tone… but what about when they’re in the venerable 4x12 cab?!
Welcome to the show! Okay, yes, we’ve been having a TON of FUN with loud Marshalls just recently, and that has surely inspired this show. But is it the amp or that behemoth 412 that's bringin' the grinnin'? Let’s try some other amps through a 412 and see what we can discover.
Side note, if you've come looking for practical, cost-effective and everyday usable guitar tone advice, um, welcome to That Pedal Show.
Enjoy if you dare…
