A cabinet, often referred to as a speaker cabinet, is a standalone enclosure that houses one or more speakers. It is used in conjunction with an amplifier head to produce sound in an electric guitar setup.
Guitar amps and cabs are just as crucial to a guitarist’s tone as the guitar itself. Amplifiers shape the sound—whether it’s clean and warm, crunchy and bluesy, or full-on distortion for rock and metal. They come in two main types: combo amps, which include both the amp and speaker in one unit, and amp heads, which are paired with separate cabinets (cabs) to project the sound.
Cabs come in various sizes, like 1×12, 2×12, or the mighty 4×12, each delivering different tone and feel. Speakers, cabinet wood, and even open vs closed backs all influence the sound. Matching the right amp and cab gives players control over their dynamics, tone, and presence—whether you’re playing in your bedroom, a studio, or on a festival stage.
Your speaker is where tone becomes reality. Whether you’re upgrading a combo amp, building a custom cab, or chasing a specific vintage vibe, the speaker plays a huge role in your overall sound. Different sizes, wattages, and cone materials all affect how your guitar or bass comes through – from tight and focused to warm and woody, bright or balanced. We stock trusted models from Celestion, Eminence, Jensen and more, so whether it’s British crunch or American sparkle you’re after, you’ll find the right voice for your tone.
