112 usually refers to a guitar amplifier cabinet size that features one 12-inch speaker. The numbers “1” and “12” indicate one speaker of 12 inches in diameter. These cabinets are popular for their balance of punch and clarity, often used as a compact option for both practice and live performance. A 112 cab is versatile, pairing well with many different amps and styles, providing focused tone with enough low-end and midrange presence to cut through a mix without being overwhelming.
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.

Victory Amplifiers is a British company known for producing high-quality, boutique-style guitar amplifiers.

Victory offers a wide range of models, including popular series like the Duchess, Kraken, Sheriff, Copper, and Jack, each tailored for different playing styles—from crystal-clear cleans to rich bluesy overdrive and full-blown metal distortion.
Many Victory amps feature compact “lunchbox” designs, making them ideal for both studio and live use. They are praised for their rugged construction, tonal versatility, and simple yet effective control layouts. In addition to traditional heads and cabs, Victory has also innovated with its V4 series of valve-powered preamp pedals, allowing players to achieve real tube tone in a pedalboard-friendly format.
