Randall Lynchbox LB112 Cabinet

[ItsaBass]

Anyone tried one? They are just under $300. I have had Randall cabs in the past that I liked just fine (though they were nothing to write home about), and it does come with a speaker that I was thinking about buying separately for $130 anyhow. It's a Greenback-style speaker that is supposedly slightly tighter (and rated for 50W).

It would be used as an extension cab mostly for my Mesa Express 5:25, which has a V30 in it. Actually, if I went with this setup, I might swap the two speakers so the V30 is in the cab and the Lynch Signature is in the combo.

Another cool thing is that the grille cloth is a close match for the cloth that I ordered on the Mesa.

Thanks.

How big is it? Where is it made? I won't buy anything made in China.

I'm curious about this 1x12 cab also. Hopefully someone has experience with it and can add value to this thread.

Product Dimensions: 25 x 15 x 11 inches ; 32 pounds

Compared to an Avatar, it's a little cheaper, it looks better, and it comes with a speaker that I want. But I will contact them to get a quote for similar grille cloth and the Lynchbox speaker.

I'm also looking at Lopo cabs.

It is not tall enough for my needs plus I prefer semi open back for all cabs so I would have Avatar make me one. Or, try Stone Age. I have been buying Stone Age, THD and Bogner cabs mostly these days, love em!

Re: Randall Lynchbox LB112 Cabinet

This is an old thread, but I'd like to post my experience with the Randall LB112. I purchased one Randall LB112 cab a little over a year ago. I use it primarily with my Laney LH50 head, which is a little wider than the cab (Laney = 21.5", LB112 = 19.5"). I've also used it with the following amps: Mesa DC2, Carvin V3M, NAU Engineering custom (Blackface Fender + hot rod Marshall channels with 6L6 power tubes). The LB112 sounds very pleasing with each amp. The Celestion Lynchback speaker is VERY nice indeed! Compared to the Greenback, the Lynchback bass response is a little deeper, highs are smoother, and it stays tighter at higher volumes. It definitely has that great Celestion break up & sing when you push it with overdrive. With heavy distortion the Lynchback stays tight and articulate, like a more modern speaker. The best surprise of all is that clean tones are amazing through it. It has enough highs & presence for excellent blackface tones, yet if you push it with crunchy overdrive the highs become smooth & tasty.

The Randall cab is built pretty well. The baffle is made of plywood. The rest is MDF, which makes it a little heavier than you'd expect for such a compact cabinet. The tolex & grill cloth seem durable & look great. The speaker is front loaded, and the grill is removable. The rest of the cab is completely sealed. My grill did not have any pull tabs, so I had to use a butter knife to gently work the grill off. The grill is held on by velcro, like Fender used to do in their classic amps.

As I said before, the Lynchback is great. I'd say it's Celestions most versatile 12" speaker. I love the way it can do vintage clean & crunch tones, plus tight modern high gain. I've owned several other Celestions including G12T75, Greenbacks, Vintage 30, Classic Lead, G12-65, Creambacks, G12H30, & Mesa 90W Black Shadow. The Lynchback is my favorite. I like to play rock, metal, blues, pop & even some jazz every now & then. The Lynchback seems to produce whatever amp/guitar tone you push through it without overly coloring the sound.
