Features
I use the EJ 12 40 combined with a eminence alnico hemp cone, I have these loaded in an earcandy BuzzBomb powered by a H&K tubemeister 36. The guitar is a Ibanez prestige loaded with air norton and tone zone. The combination of these speakers, cabs and guitar is top notch tone.

Ease of Use
Very Easy, this is a high quality well built speaker designed by one of the best guitar players in the world. Combining this with the cannabis rex makes fora stellar tone and pricey but worth it. The only learning curve is the break in time, However, this speaker sounds excellent right out of the box and only gets better the more you break it in.
