This Roadking 2x12 is a serious upgrade for any Mesa amp head. Those Vintage 30s really cut through the mix, delivering a tight, modern rock tone with plenty of punch. It's a great choice for players seeking a focused, powerful soundstage – especially those into hard rock, alternative, or heavier genres.

Product Description

Mesa Boogie Roadking 2x 12", Speaker Cabinet

The name Mesa Boogie has been a guarantee of quality for over 30 years now. Carlos Santana's exceptional singing guitar sound has always been closely linked to Boogie amps. It is even said that he is the one to have inspired the name "Boogie", due to a comment that he made while testing a prototype: "man, that little thing really boogies!" The modern Boogies have carried on the reputation of its predecessors, and it's no second-guess to suppose that head of Mesa Randy Smith imagines hearing his perfect amps coming out of equally good cabinets. Many guitar players wholly underestimate the proportions of cabinets and speakers and end up buying amps over and over again, instead of taking care of that last and absolutely not insignificant link in the sound chain.

The Road King 2x 12" cabinet is the successful solution for something that's between an imposing stack, and a compact 1x 12"-er in both weight as well as in sound, enabling the Road King to provide the needed results in all playing situations. Via the combo of the powerful Celestion Vintage 30 with the specially-for-Mesa designed C90, the King delivers an open, 3D-ish plastic sound. Expect from this nifty piece of equipment all your pieces to sport a certain bravura from now on!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Vintage 30s are a common speaker, making swaps fairly straightforward, though modifications will impact the overall sound.
The angled front improves projection, directing sound upwards towards the audience, which can be a significant advantage on stage.
While it does tame some of the high-end sparkle, the closed-back design contributes to a tighter, more focused low-end and overall punch.
