The Cabinet & The Speakers
The physical cabinet is a vintage '59 Fender Tweed Twin 2x12 combo, built from solid pine. However, the star of the show is the JBL D120F. Unlike the darker, smoother Celestion Greenback or V30, the D120F is a high-fidelity PA speaker repurposed for guitar. It features an aluminum dust cap, which creates that famous "chime" and immediate transient response.
