1x12 Guitar Cabs

1x12 cabs give you punchy, precise sound in a convenient format.

A guitar cabinet (or cab) is essentially a speaker enclosure designed to project the sound of an amp head. For those seeking a big sound in a small package, a 1x12 guitar cab – featuring a single 12-inch speaker – offers a great balance of portability, tone and power.

While not as loud or beefy in the low-end as a 2x12 or 4x12 cab, 1x12s still deliver plenty of volume for small to medium-sized gigs, rehearsals and home use. You can expect a punchy midrange, crisp highs and a responsive feel that works especially well with low-wattage amps. It’s a great choice for players who are looking for the natural break-up of a cranked amp without excessive volume. Take a look at our Ultimate guide to guitar cabs to learn more and find the perfect option for you.

A 1x12 won’t push as much air as larger cabinets but they excel in articulation and dynamic response. Brands like Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Orange and Victory have perfected 1x12 designs that maximise tone and optimise the portable form factor to provide cabs with superb sound and without the extra bulk.

Remember, it’s not about the size of your cab; it’s about how you use it! Check out our range of 1x12 guitar cabs today!
