If you're new to electric guitar, you might be wondering why you would choose a 1x12 speaker cabinet with an amplifier head instead of just picking up a combo amp and getting it all in one. That's a fair question, and the answer is actually a simple one: flexibility. With a combo amp, you're limited to using only the built-in amp head. But 1x12 guitar amplifier cabinets give you the option to swap in any head you choose - and they also free you up to use your amp head on its own with an installed sound system or recording setup. Plus, a 1x12 cabinet makes a great practice speaker that can stand in for a bigger cab when you're warming up.
Whatever your reason for going with a 1x12 cabinet, and whatever your personal playing style, there's no doubt you can find a cab here ready to take it in stride. The options range from beginner-friendly models like the Peavey 1x12 Extension Guitar Cabinet all the way to ultra-high-end professional cabs such as the Bogner Atma 1x12 Open Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet. You can even find signature designs inspired by top guitarists - for example, the Fender George Benson Signature Hot Rod 1x12 Guitar Cab is a tempting choice for fans of Django Reinhardt as well as George's solo work, not to mention the jazz, funk and R&B scene in general.
With so many genres out there, so many different kinds of venues and so many unique playing styles, it's safe to say that the expression "bigger is better" doesn't always apply to guitar amps and cabinets. When a single 12" driver is all you need and you want the flexibility of using your preferred amp head instead of being stuck with a static combo, one of these 1x12 guitar amplifier cabinets is definitely the way to go! So go ahead and take a look - your new cabinet could be right here waiting for you to find it.
