• Vintage 1976 HiWatt 4x12 Speaker Cabinet with Custom Speaker Mix

    Own a piece of rock and roll history with this vintage 1976 HiWatt 4x12 speaker cabinet. This is not just any cabinet; it's a meticulously maintained tone machine with a custom-engineered speaker configuration that offers an incredible range of sonic possibilities.

    Cabinet Features:

  • Year: 1976
  • Model: HiWatt 4x12”  – It’s hard to read but I thinks it’s an SE 4122
  • Condition: Good cosmetic condition for its age. While it shows some signs of honest use, the vintage black basketweave Tolex and salt-and-pepper grille cloth are in good shape, with all original handles and hardware intact.
  • Construction: Built like a tank with 18mm marine birch ply, it delivers the legendary road-ready HiWatt durability and acoustic resonance that have made these cabinets famous.
  • Speaker Configuration:

    The original speakers have been professionally replaced with a unique, high-performance mix, giving this cabinet a tonal versatility unmatched by all-original models.

  • 2 Reeves "Vintage Purple" Speakers: Reeves Amplification is known for faithfully recreating the sought-after Fane purpleback speakers that defined the classic HiWatt sound. These speakers provide incredible headroom and a clear, articulate, and powerful top end.
  • 2 Eminence Red Coat Tonker Speakers: This high-wattage 12" speaker is known for its British-flavored tone, delivering a thick, throaty low-end and a balanced midrange. It complements the Reeves speakers by adding a rich, muscular growl.
  • The Sound:

    The combination of the Reeves Purple and Eminence Tonker speakers is nothing short of breathtaking.

  • Cleans: Crystal clear and full of chime with an immense low-end presence, perfect for lush clean tones.
  • Overdrive: The cabinet handles distortion beautifully, offering a mix of classic British grit and modern punch. Fuzz and overdrive pedals sound massive and focused.
  • Versatility: This cabinet excels across all genres, from classic rock and blues to modern high-gain metal.
  • Performance: The cabinet is in perfect working condition, with no issues whatsoever. It's ready to handle the power of any high-wattage head you throw at it.
  • This is a rare opportunity to own a vintage HiWatt cab with a unique and powerful speaker blend. If you're searching for the ultimate British cab with incredible versatility and road-tested durability, this is the one for you.

  • NOTE:  I have listed this as “Pickup Only” however I will ship it at my actual shipping cost if you want. HOWEVER , if you decide to return it all shipping costs both ways are your responsibility.
