"Marshall 1936 2x12 cabinets Rocks!"

Feature:
Mono or Stereo what else could you ask for in a speaker cab. Although the idea of using stereo outside of recording doesn't make sense for one cabinet due to spacing of the speakers.

Quality:
I read a lot of reviews wining about the construction and materials not being up to Marshall's earlier years of construction quality. Listen up boys and girls, you get what you pay for. If you want solid wood, airplane grade metal and fail safe casters like Fuchs amps you better be willing to pay $5 grands for it. In short, Stop expecting your equipment to take a licking and keep on ticking! Take care of your amps and cabs like your guitars.

Value:
Considering that it costs me 95% of what I paid for a 4x12 cabinet ten years ago including inflation, I would say that it's worth it.

Desirability:
It's a Marshall! It looks sexy having my JCM 900 or JCM 2000 TSL sitting on top.

Sound:
I use my Marshall 1936 cab with a JCM 900 and JCM 2000 TSL. I would characterize the sound to the Marshal 4x12 cabinet on steriods. The response on this cabinet is faster than the Marshall 1960,4x12 cabinet. It's more focused. This cab will rock if you you push it. With a 4x12 cab, you have to play very loud to get a good sound to avoid the "buzz sore" sound. Normally, with my 1960 cab I would keep the treble, mids and presence down low to avoid the high frequency sound due to low volume settings. With the 1936 cab, I was able to dial up my treble, mids and presence (4,3,5 respectively) and get better clean and lead tones. The boutique amp manufacturers figured out the science behind pushing 2 speakers instead of 4 with a 100 watt amp head. Trying to drive a 4x12 cabinet with a 100 watt head translates into diminishing sound quality at low volume because the configuration is not efficient. Moving four 12" speakers with 25 watts each and retaining good sound quality goes again the physics. Unfortunatedly, this means large venus (or outside) and not clubs would be the best place for 4x12 cab. And finally, a 2x12 would be better suited for clubs and recording studio. Needless to say, the 1936 cab is a keeper!

Ease of Use:
Plug in the right input and rock.

Support:
Never had the experience of needing them.

Overall:
If I had $5 thousand dollars, I would have purchase a Fuchs TDS 100 plus 2x12 cabinet. This cabinet is a keeper for a long time. I may sell one of my 2 1960, 4x12 cabinets.

"Marsha, Marsha, Marshall!"

Feature:
Good quality Celestion speakers, and recessed mono/stereo jacks. No, it's not made of the most exotic woods, but it sounds good and is durable!

Quality:
I think it's made well. Like most Marshall gear, it's built for the road and is very durable.

Value:
It could be a bit less expensive, but is the perfect compliment to a Marshall head for small/medium gigs.

Sound:
I've owned two of these cabinets, one with the standard GT75's, and one with a different Celestion config. Speaking strictly of the GT-75's as currently sold here, it's a really good cabinet. I match it up with a JCM 900 head, and it sounds excellent. There is more low end to this cabinet than you might expect, and it fits snugly in the trunk of a Neon!

Support:
Can't say for sure. Always worked 100%.

About This Product!
Description
Marshall Speaker Cabinets
Marshall is the only choice for serious musicians. Nothing compares to Marshall cabinets in terms of awesome tone and projection, both visually and aurally.

Great sound and looks however are not everything. Many years of experience mean that Marshall speaker cabinets are also built to stand the test of time. Their highly skilled craftsmen construct them from the finest quality materials with precision corner locked joints, tough cotton backed PVC covering, heavy-duty hardware, and the highest quality fittings.

Racks and Combos
Although all of the stereo/mono 4x12's are perfect for use with stereo rack systems, Marshall also produces a range of smaller 2x12 in. and 1x12 in. cabinets that are ideally suited for use with portable rack set-ups or as extension cabinets for combos.

The 1936 has Mono/Stereo options and is great for a larger rack system. It fits a full size Marshall head perfectly too, giving you a compact 2x12 stack. Whatever your rig, with our practical knowledge and unrivalled construction techniques, Marshall give you cabinets that are not only perfect for your needs, they will also last you a lifetime

The highest quality woodwork includes the "corner locking" of each and every joint. This helps give Marshall cabinets the incredible strength and durability, which has become as legendary as the Marshall sound itself.

Heavy-duty Grab Handles are fitted to all Marshall cabinets. Their tough, ergonomic, recessed casing design gives easy access to the bar of the handle without affecting the cabinet's smooth lines

No sharp metal edges or rough fittings - the smooth ABS plastic Marshall corner fits perfectly and offers excellent protection to all 8 cabinet corners.
