If one thing personifies the image of rock 'n' roll more than anything else it's the Marshall 4x12. Though often imitated, nothing compares with the original. The first 4x12 cab was designed and built by Jim Marshall in 1962. Since then Marshall has made many thousands, which have appeared on stages both large and small all over the world. Learn More...

"Iron fisted control - Battle worthy"

Feature:
Features? Input jack, yes.

Quality:
This is one beefy cabinet, makes others seem wimpy.

Value:
You can't touch this cabinet for what the're selling for now.

Desirability:
It's cool.

Sound:
I only gave it a 9 because I still want more. I have tried several other cabinets over the last 20+ years and this is the best so far. It's a little dark but with power and grip. Probably a 9.5 really.

Ease of Use:
Wheels, I love wheels!

Support:
I own a 30th anniversary Marshall that is 13 years old. When it had an issue requiring a backordered part Marshall quickly sent a replacement part from England. How's that for support.

Overall:
I am a gear addict so I'll keep trying to find something better but I expect this to be a keeper.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The MF280 (280W) and MF400 (400W) cabinets are specially engineered to reproduce the balanced mid range and huge bottom end that are a pre-requisite for extreme hard rock and nu-metal sounds.

Features:
Sonically optimized Celestion loudspeaker designs

Pro-gauge internal wiring

Increased internal volume

Metal logo and piping

In keeping with all legendary Marshall cabinets the MF 4x12 in. cabinets are not only ready for the sonic demands of a high performance head like the MF350, but also the extreme physical abuse they may receive on the road.

Marshall recommends the MF280A (angled) and B (base) for full-stack operation and the MF400A or B for half-stack operation.

Full Stack Versus Half Stack
The MODE FOUR cabinets can be used either as a full stack (2 cabinets) or half stack (1 cabinet) configuration. The rig you choose is a matter of personal taste and as always when it comes to sound we recommend you try both to see which suits your style best. Below is a guide to the major attributes of each:

Full Stack:
Enhanced on stage spread

More 'cut through' due to accentuated treble and high mids

Iconic stage presence

Half Stack:
More controllable spread of sound on stage (especially base type)

Convenient and portable

Speaker Type Celestion Vintage 30MF
