Customer Kudos
"Just wanted to comment on what a GREAT site this is!!! I've ordered my first drumkit, hardware, accessories after not playing for over 20 years and this was a great purchase and great experience. Products were all delivered in a short time as promised and even the drum shell kit that was on backorder shipped and delivered sooner than expected. I've already got another cart with more items ready to go....once my budget allows!!"

Guitar Amplifier Buying Guide: Speaker Cabinets
What happens after your amplifier's tubes or transistors create all that immense tonal power? It gets pumped out through your speakers -- the final stage of tone-shaping in your guitar rig.
The way speakers affect your tone depends on many factors: the size of the speaker, its power rating, the power of your amplifier, and whether you play through a single speaker or multiple speakers.
We've broken down our favorite speaker cabs by number and size of the speaker to help you find the perfect fit. Each one of these cabinets features rugged construction for reliability on the road and professional grade speakers to keep up with your playing night after night. So, plug into any one of these excellent cabinets and let your playing be heard loud and clear!

4x12" Guitar Speaker Cabinets
The standard for half and full stacks, these large-and-in-charge speaker cabinets are great for filling larger venues and clubs with crisp and clear tone. Depending on the speaker wattage, you can get buttery smooth distortion or pummeling cleans -- the higher the wattage, the cleaner the sound. Stack an angled or "slant" cabinet on top of a "straight" cab to invoke the iconic 8x12" full stack.
