I traded two pedals for one of those oversized Marshall Mode Four cabinets. I wired it to 4 ohms to go with my old Bassman. I put two Celestion G12Ms in the top and two Jensen C12Rs in the bottom.

Running the Bassman at 3 is crazy loud. Sounds full and meaty. I’m digging it.

 

[HomespunEffects]

Celestion G12M sensitivity is 98dB
Jensen C12R sensitivity is 92.3dB

It’s a bad match. The Jensens are barely audible. I think I’m going to switch them out for G12T-75s. They may be good to mic though.

An old roommate had this cab and it sounded great. In particular it had something unique going on for heavier and/or detuned tones.

Jensens to T75s that’s a big jump lol. Too bad the Jensens didn’t pan out, would have been a cool mix with the g12ms.

Cool cabs. They have a unique baffle compared to other Marshalls and they have nice construction. Good score - Get some K100's back in there!

Very nice. That's my kinda rig right there.

On my bucket list is to be in the middle of one of these with Greenbacks and an OS Mesa 4x12 with V30s

I do have a quad of K85s which i believe are the same thing.

Yeah same thing. Not sure how much difference 8 vs 16 ohm are with those speakers but I'm pretty sure the cabinet design was based around the characteristics of those speakers. Worth a go if you have them already!

I guess they work well enough. They’re just not really audible as the G12Ms have about twice the SPL.

I have a quad of the G12K-85s and a quad of Vintage 30s. I think I’m going to do some speaker swaps and maybe do 2 of each in this cabinet.

It’s not really a great fit with being 4 ohms only. I’d like to use it with my other heads. I’m going to look for one of those Marshall stereo switch plates for this one.

I ordered this one:

Jack Plate - Plug and Play, Mono / Stereo | Amplified Parts

The Plug and Play eliminates the confusing switch found on most stereo cabinets. Just pick your impedance and plug in. Label is set at the common 4/16 Ohm Mono and 8 Ohm Stereo. Ready to install with a steel dish, wires, and speaker connectors.

I got the jack plate installed and changed out the speakers. These Celestion work very well together.

Hmmm. This may be a favorite cabinet.
