A 1×12 (pronounced “one by twelve”) refers to a guitar or bass amplifier cabinet that contains one 12-inch speaker. It’s a common size for both combo amps and speaker cabinets, offering a balance between portability and full-bodied sound. A 1×12 setup is often favoured for its warm tone, focused projection, and manageable size—ideal for small gigs, studio sessions, or home use.
Black is a classic and versatile colour choice for guitars, amps, pedals, and accessories. It’s sleek, timeless, and suits every style—from understated elegance to full-on rock attitude. Whether you’re after a high-gloss finish on a guitar, a rugged black amp for the stage, or matching accessories, this category brings together all things black in the world of music gear. Ideal for those who prefer a bold, professional look that never goes out of style.
A cab—short for cabinet—is the speaker enclosure that projects your guitar amp’s sound to the room. Cabs come in various sizes and speaker configurations, like 1×12, 2×12, or the classic 4×12 setup popular in rock and metal. The type of wood, construction (open or closed back), and speaker choice all influence the tone, response, and volume. Matching the right cab with your amp head is key to shaping your overall sound, whether you want tight, punchy lows, smooth mids, or bright, cutting highs. It’s where your amp’s power turns into the rich, full sound you hear on stage or in the studio.
Guitar amps are essential for shaping and amplifying your sound, whether you’re playing electric, acoustic, or bass guitar. They come in various types—valve (tube), solid-state, and digital modelling—each offering different tonal characteristics and features. From compact practice amps to powerful stage-ready combos and heads with matching cabs, this category covers all your amplification needs. We stock a wide range from trusted brands, offering everything from clean tones to all-out distortion, perfect for home practice, recording, or live performance.
