Another option, if you're gonna spend like $300 on a cab, would just be to save.. probably less than $100 more and buy a hot rod deluxe or somethin to run in stereo with the piggy. Or sell the pignose and use that amp plus the cab money to buy a bigger amp

Thjanks for the idea but I already have a Hot Rod Deville, and it's a beast and I prefer the pignose even though it's one channel, it takes pedals well and it is light and 30w of tube power which is plenty loud.

The Mesa cabs are very well-built, and use top-grade plywood. If you are doing any kind of gigging, or even merely transporting you cab, I would STRONGLY recommend that you avoid particleboard and MDF construction.

I will second this. One corner of my Peavey cabinet is now made of bondo instead of low-density particle board because a crack in the concrete decided to eat one of the cabinet's casters. Plywood tends not to have that problem.

^^^ good point, my ampeg cab has the same caster issue, caster gets stuck on a crack in the sidewalk and then the wood of the cabinet fails and the air pressure can potentially get messed up

i think the Marshall 1936 is the short 2x12 in their range. Might not be what your after and may be a bit pricy in the states

I always thought the 1936 was a pretty big 2x12. I don't know if Marshall still make the 1922, but that's a smaller cab.
 
Re: Looking for 2x12 small cabinet

Of the cabs mentioned I have only had experience with a Marshall 1936 and a Mesa Recto 2x12 Horizontal. I owned a 1936 for a short period of time and felt the build quality wasn't great. For 70ish more dollars I could have bought a Mesa 2x12 which are undoubtedly much better cabs. Mesa cabs are heavy duty and very well built (If you've ever picked one up you will know what I mean lol). I now do have a Mesa 2x12 horiz and would highly recommend it.

I run my Pignose in stereo with a Tweed Deluxe sometimes. This is a massive Bassman-esque wall of sound!

Re: Looking for 2x12 small cabinet

I had a Pignose Hog 40 back in the day
For about two months
The speaker blew and I sent it back to M.F.

Sounded good until it didn't

Do they still make those?
 
Re: Looking for 2x12 small cabinet

Hehehe

I was looking at the Harley Benton selection of 2x12 this afternoon
At $228 with vintage 30s

The speakers cost that much
It's like a fre cab with the purchase of two

But I like the idea of a custom cabinet
Covered in your choice of materials
 
Re: Looking for 2x12 small cabinet

I'll give a call out to Greg's Pro Audio.
I got an unloaded convertible 1x12 from them about 8 years ago for a very reasonable price. Solid ply construction, steel grill that you could jump on a few times before you came close to damaging the speaker, and carpeted covering that the cat has yet to harm (though she's never really tried since kittenhood).
