Bought this because it had celestion speakers and thought they were reliable. If you play any high gain anything.. even crunch lower gain,... it sounds like glass smashing in your ears. Should have bought a Harley Benton vintage 30 2x12. Almost half the cost. Not happy with this cab at all.

"celestion seventy 80 garbage"

i hate that all these supposedly reputable brands tell you that they are using celestion speaker(s). they technically are, but the speaker is a Seventy 80 and is, by FAR the worst speaker celestion makes. they are only made because amp brands wanted to be able to say they have a celestion speaker loaded in their amp/cab, but it is a celestion in name only. they are by far the worst sounding speaker i have ever heard. ever. the only place a seventy 80 belongs is in the trash. i have never been able to get a seventy 80 to sound good, in ANY cab, or even no cab at all. they are such bad speakers that it completely ruins the potential sound that the cab itself would be able to do, with at least usable speakers in it.... if they dont tell you what model of celestion speaker the amp/cab has in it, you can put money on it that it has seventy 80(s) loaded in it... idc what amp you use. you can have the best sounding amp ever made, but the seventy 80 will make it sound like cheap garbage, because that is what the seventy 80 speaker is, cheap garbage that does not deserve the Celestion name.
Sound
how would i describe the characteristics of this speaker? well, i used the restroom this morning and made better sounds in there than the speakers in this cab could ever produce....
Features
it has a pair of seventy 80s in it. this cab is useless until you swap those speakers out for literally any other 12in Celestion speaker. any of them that are 12in. im not even joking.
Ease of Use
how easy is it to get good sounds out of this cab? immediately swap the speakers for ANY other 12in speaker that Celestion makes. any of them. pick one and itll sound better than what the speakers in this cab are capable of.
Quality
the cab itself is made fairly well. it is Marshall, after all, so the build quality itself is pretty good. the seventy 80s in it tho.... ugh
Value
is this cab worth the MSRP? ultimately, heck no its not!!! not with those garbage seventy 80s in it. itll destroy your amps sound.
Manufacturer Support
i have never had to contact Marshall since every Marshall product i have ever owned has just worked and has done the exact job i got it for. that being said, i wish they would quit using the seventy 80 speaker. it ruins what the wood in this cab can sound like.
