Leveraging Taylor Cox & Co.’s extensive history of custom cabinet craftsmanship, this 1 x 12-inch Speaker Cabinet is fine-tuned from top to bottom to make the most of your Amplified Nation head. This cab begins with a top-quality construction comprising lightweight and sturdy European poplar plywood, with a wide 24-inch width to securely sit under any of Amplified Nation’s amp head offerings. To maximize power and punch, the cab’s Celestion G12-65 driver sits lower to the ground than your typical guitar cabinet. And while the Amplified Nation 1 x 12-inch cab clocks in at a lightweight and relatively compact size, the speaker’s oval cutout offers superior projection and a robust bass response worthy of a much larger cabinet. You also get everything you need to easily pair your amp and head together, including mounting screws, a wiring harness, and a jack. From the studio to the stage, this 1 x 12-inch cabinet is the perfect pairing for any of Amplified Nation’s world-class amp head creations.

Vintage-inspired Celestion G12-65 speaker





Sporting a legacy that stretches back to the late 1970s, the Celestion Heritage series G12-65 driver provides this Amplified Nation 1 x 12-inch Speaker Cabinet with a rock-ready roar. Scores of Sweetwater guitarists swear by the Celestion G12-65 for its lightning-fast attack and firm bass response, making it a superior platform for crunchy hard-rock rhythms and expressive gain-drenched leads. Moreover, the G12-65’s extended midrange and clarity-packed trebles deliver an equally admirable clean response that blooms with rich overtones when driven into edge-of-breakup territory.





One Amplified Nation under handwired boutique brilliance





There are few better ways to master the art of amplifier design than by studying the world’s most esteemed and coveted vintage amplifiers. Taylor Cox took this notion to heart in founding Amplified Nation in 2009 as a humble amp repair shop in Boston. After countless hours fixing amplifiers, designing effects, and crafting custom guitar cabinets, Taylor’s extensive experience and endless fascination with the amps of a near-mythological defunct Californian designer eventually led to Amplified Nation venturing into the realm of tube amplifier design. A single strum through one of Taylor’s handwired amps is all the proof you need of his absolute mastery of that elusive, ever-sought-after tone. Merging the blooming harmonics and dripping overtones of his vintage inspiration with premium-grade components and the highest level of craftsmanship, Amplified Nation represents the epitome of amplifier excellence.
