Description
Although many players believe that the core of their tone comes from their amplifier, the influence that a guitar cabinet has over your sound as a whole is often under-appreciated. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your cabinet features high-quality speakers and is constructed from only the finest timbers. And the Hamstead 1×12 Amp Cabinet epitomises both of those essential qualities.
Celestion Speaker
Celestion speakers are the industry standard within the amp market, and the Hamstead 1×12 cab is fitted with their iconic Creamback G12M-65 driver. Developed in the mid-60s, this legendary speaker was popularised by famous artists of the era, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.
Delivering a vintage-voiced tone, this speaker provides balanced lows and a warm mid-range, with plenty of bite and clarity in the highs. Power any amplifier through this cabinet, and you’ll undoubtedly attain remarkable results.
Construction
The Hamstead 1×12 cabinet is formed from Marine-Grade Birch Ply, a bright-sounding tonewood that gets the most out of the versatile Celestion speaker. Slightly over-sized to achieve a fuller sound, the amount of volume projected from this cabinet is incredible despite its single 12″ speaker.
Even with its slightly larger size compared to conventional 1×12 cabs, this Hamstead cab is still highly-portable and easy to transport to recording sessions or gigs.
