There are four fundamental principles to finding
your perfect guitar cab...

Why this all matters

Using guitar cabs to help get your perfect tone is as much an art as it is a science… after over 20 years I’m still learning, and get surprised every day, but I’ve learned there are four (some may say three and a half) key aspects to getting it right, or at least avoiding getting it wrong. They are the speakers loaded in the cab, the number or speakers and general size of the cab, the back type and finally what I call your sense of ownership of the cab, by which I mean the pride you take in your gear when you’ve got it right and made it your own.

For those who still aren’t convinced, the cab is the thing at the end of the chain that turn your electrical guitar signal in to the vibrations that you hear. If you don’t think it’s important consider this. If there was a pedal that you could put on your board that made everything else sound completely different from what you wanted, that’s what the wrong cab will do. If there was a pedal that you absolutely loved and nailed exactly what you wanted to hear, that’s what the right cab will allow you to do.

James Hetfield used a White Falcon on Nothing Else Matters but swaps guitars when he plays Battery, Slash used a J200 on Patience but picked up a Les Paul for the Sweet Child o’Mine solo. It’s about the right tool for the right job.
