Peavey 112 1x12 Guitar Cabinet

A few years ago I bought a Peavey 20MH Valve King head, wanting something that was smaller than my Marshall stacks, but tube. I tried different cabs, including my 1960. But still the idea was getting something smaller, something I could more easily transport. That's why I bought that specific head. it's a 20 watt, 5 watt and 1 watt head. Finally I matched it up with this cab. The Peavey 16ohm 112-6. Which utilizes a 12 inch Celestion Greenback speaker. Not a Valveking. Like in most of their other tube amps, which I also own. Which sound pretty good. But I prefer Celestion. Anyway, this cab has a full bodied sound. I've played a Marshall 50 and 100 Watt head through this cab, as well as the Peavey 20mh, at 1, 5 and 20 watts. highs, mids and lows all come through very well. Clean is sparkling, and muddy is gritty as you want to go with this cab. So if you are looking for a good cab with a Celestion 12inch, closed back, give this baby a whirl. The only negative I have for this cab, it doesn't come with wheels. A minor problem and easily correctable. A few bucks at the most. Also doesn't take up a lot of space.

I liked Peavey stuff but I only heard about their amp and older USA made guitars. I would buy this unheard if it was a bit less money.I would get it now for $90.00. Just too unknown for over a hundred and I would hook it to a Vox 2 watt night train amp that came with a nasty 10" speaker. Amp is good to go once you dump the Chinese tubes. I bought great tubes from Amazon.

I bought this cab about 2 years ago. I'd say it's quite a steal for $129 US, despite a couple of flaws.It's your standard 1x12 cab, with an all black, all American metal vibe and a Peavey Blue Marvel 12" speaker inside. The Speaker is indeed a Peavey Blue Marvel but it's unbranded and practically unmarked on the inside. The back panel says it's rated at 16ohms and 40 watts which might entirely be true but I searched for this speaker very diligently online, and the results that I pulled showed a speaker capable of 70 watts and 8 ohms. So who truly knows. I know that the Blue Marvel in it has a very dark and muddy tone to it. It was a life saver when I was dead broke and desperate for gear. Today though, I've upgraded mine with a Celestion Vintage 30 which honestly sounds leagues better. I also installed wheels onto it's bottom so I can roll it around. I play it with my Peavey 6505 mh and it sounds spectacular.I feel this is a great starter cab. Buy it when you're young and broke, put a little micro head through it like an Orange- Micro Terror or a Joyo- Zombie or whatever and you've got a pretty great and affordable practice rig.

This is a great budget closed-back cab, particularly if you want to swap speakers to tailor your tone. The "generic" Blue Marvel 12" speaker is fine if you like bright American-sounding speakers and low wattage crunch, but it is rather quiet at 96.7 db sensitivity. Per Peavey Customer Service it is an unlabeled speaker made to Peavey's Valveking 12" 16ohm specs (except lower wattage, 40w vs the "labeled" USA Blue Marvel's 75w). At low 96.7 db sensitivity, almost any replacement speaker will increase loudness of your amp significantly, so this a great bedroom setup with the stock speaker (a typical 100 db sensitivity replacement speaker would double perceived volume!).

This was the cheapest 1x12 cab I could find. I wanted a bigger cabinet for my 5 watt tube amp and this fit the bill perfectly. It actually sounds better than I expected - not harsh or overly bright, and even takes overdrive pretty well. Obviously, it's not going to be super high volume, but for what I'll be using it for, it's just about perfect! Very pleased with my purchase!

Like others have said it sounds great clean. But when I put a lot of gain to it it really sucks at high volumes. I’m going hardcore and dropping a Celestion Redback In it. It doesn’t come with peavy blue marvel. They lie.

Not sure why everyone is rating this so low because the speaker isn't labeled the way they expect. It's a fair quality speaker and about what you can reasonably expect at this price point. If people would stop listening with their eyes they might actually grasp that. I bought it for the cabinet and immediately put a WGS Retro 30 in it and it's fantastic. The cabinet is built well and doesn't rattle at high volumes. Before I swapped out the speaker I tried the original one it was OK. Again, as good as you have a right to expect at this price point.

My first mistake was buying it, my second mistake was plugging it in. Sounds like the speaker was blown from the very beginning. Ran it off a little Joyo banTamP, didn't push it at all. Never did sound right.
