- The Marshall SV112 1x12 Studio Vintage Speaker Cabinet was specifically designed to match with the Marshall SV20H Studio Vintage Plexi 20W Valve Amp Head. See that review here - • UB:38 Marshall SV20H S...
Because I purchased the Marshall SV20 Head it seemed appropriate to match it with one of the cabinets designed for it and in my case that would be the 1x12 design - The Marshall SV112 cabinet. When it arrived the first thing that was noticeable was the weight, coming in at around 11-12 Kg it’s pretty easy on the old back and the top carry handle makes transporting it a simple affair. Designed to look like its vintage heritage with the gold/silver cloth, gold piping and black vinyl and loaded with a Celestion 70 watt 16 ohm 12” speaker.
The cabinet is an open back design and is fitted with one ¼” jack socket and Marshall provides a speaker cable for connecting amplifier and cabinet together. Having put the cabinet to the test it certainly handles the Marshall SV20 head without any issues, giving good clean tones at higher volume settings. As this particular model can be picked-up for a pretty reasonable price it might be one of the reasons a protective cover is not included in the price, but it would have been nice to get one. Do check out my other reviews regarding the Marshall SV20 Head seen at this link - • UB:38 Marshall SV20H S... - and also the Bad Cat Black Cat Cabinet I initially used to test the Amplifier - • UB:31 Bad Cat Black Ca... - There is a possibility in the future that I may try out a Mojotone British Vintage speaker in the cabinet but time will tell… Enjoy!

Hi Folks - I know some of you are keen to see the next Guitar Build Project video (No:5) It's in the works, the relic stage does take a bit of time and all being well this will be uploaded next Friday at 5pm (UK time). Meanwhile, for those interested I hope you find this Marshall SV112 Cabinet video useful... regards: Stu
There are players who swear by certain woods like birch, I don't have experience with different cab woods to be able to speak on the subject. I have the same amp but with the 2x12. Seems fine to me lol What I will say though, is that if you're going for a mojo bv speaker, make it the 25 watter. The M. Best speaker out there for classic rock. The H and the V have heavier magnets and compress less but aren't as sweet. I use the M by itself 95% of the time but have it in a stereo cab and plug the H in alongside and run both when I go to higher gain. Higher gain than you like, I reckon, so make sure it's the M--not that you asked my advice LOL For what it's worth, Zilla Cabs' TH-cam channel is a wealth of demos and info.
Hi Craig, Many thanks for the info, I always appreciate your input and experiences, I have already taken note. Because I use various software in my recording projects, there is so much manipulation that can be done, I tend not to get too picky about the nuances in music gear as I often alter the sound in different ways to suit the overall composition. But it is fun messing with all this stuff... ;-) I worked for an audio company in the 70s who did all kinds of technical testing in regard to high-end Hi-Fi type products. I remember Kate Bush came to purchase a system but did not get a chance to meet her. One time some of the engineering boffins handed me a cheap electric guitar they were doing frequency tests on - and I was knocked-out by the incredible sustain it had... they just smiled at me with a knowing smile. Have a great weekend Craig... regards: Stu
Hello mate, I was thinking a while ago of a 12 inch spkr. box for my Fender Pro Junior 15 Watt Valve Amp but when my Bass Player lent me one I didn't think the extra 2 inches ( my amp has a ten inch speaker ) made much of difference but you are a keen builder/ modder so it would be best if you built one .Cheers and have a great weekend Stu.
Hi Rob... just getting round to keeping on top of stuff after my battle with the old 'man-flu' - or at least that's what my wife calls it.... but I'm pretty sure I was dying... ;-) Certainly speaker design is an interesting topic as I use to work for a company that specialised in audio technologies. I remember the first time I saw/heard a Bose Concert PA Stack that was really small compared to the classic concert PA system my old band had. The sound was fabulous, and a real ear-opener. Anyway... I won't be building anymore cabinets - just not worth it in terms of money saved. I imagine it's still sunny where you live... I can picture you now flipping the burgers on the barbie - I'm freezing cold and about to go into hibernation regards: Stu
Cheers Stu, as ever great content, hope you feel better
Hi Allen - Many thanks... Yes, starting to get back on track... nasty cold/flu bug thing doing the rounds just now and it does drag on for a bit. Anyhow... it's not stopping me scraping away at lacquer on a certain guitar build project... ;-) regards: Stu
