Marshall 1936 Guitar Speaker Cabinet (150 Watts, 2x12 in.)
Fits full size head. 16 ohms stereo/8 ohms mono.
"Marshall 1936 2x12 cabinets Rocks!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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%.
"Great cabinet"
I purchased a 1936 cabinet from a friend for a great price, Loved it. Went to the music store the next day saw the same cabinet for an even better deal, so i snagged it also. So now i ended up with two 2x12's and man it rocks! blew my friends mesa 4x12 away. So much cleaner, and much louder.

"compact with a good stack sound."
I use it with a 50w 70's super bass amp, so the wattage is a bit of an overkill.
I like speakernoice at high volumes, so the elements might be replaced with vintage 30's.
The sound is really good! Combined with my 61 reissue SG, an overdrive pedal and high volumes,
it is possible to get a good imitation of Gary Moore. This setup is also versitile, though
the adjustments should be on pedal or guitar, since the amp has only one tone..

"One of the best that I've ever used"
The Marshall sound from a smaller & lighter cabinet. It's plenty loud for just about any type gig. Tired of lugging that 4X12 around and wedging it into your Toyota, then this is the cabinet for you. The only thing that I would like to see with this unit is for it to come with a set of casters to help with transporting.
"Excellent sound and easy to move"
I really like Marshall's 1936. This cab has two 75 watt speakers (150 watts), so this allows you to get more power to each speaker, which makes the speakers work harder and sound better. For instance, a 100 watt amp and a 300 watt 4X12 will have 25 watts per speaker (100/4), which is not even close to making the 75 watt speakers work to their potential, where the 2X12 will have 50 watts per speaker. Bottom line, the more a speaker works, the better it sounds because the speaker, like a tube amp, needs to "breath."
"Great cab if you want that Marshall 4x12 sound without the weight"
Feature:
Wish they would have included the 4 wheel casters. Does have both mono and stero hookups.
Quality:
It does nick and tear easly. I'm just more careful now.
Value:
I got it cheaper someplace else and for the money I spent, can't beat it.
Sound:
Sound is very direct--very close to my 4X12 cab.
