ENGL® FrankenCab E412-V8 Black70

TRY IT

The fabled Dr. Frankenstein has a lot to answer for; but when it comes to serving as the inspiration for ENGL®’s FrankenCab Series, we can’t knock his methods!

Enter FrankenCabs Volume 2 and the ENGL® FrankenCab E412-V8 Black70 – definitive proof that every once in a blue moon, a sequel tops the original! Captured from – and inspired by – an vintage E412 4×12” cabinet, outfitted with a quartet of vintage 70s Celestion® Blackback drivers, this capture is poised to raise the dead and unleash the proverbial beast when it comes to your tone!

A precursor to the legendary Celestion® Greenback, Blackbacks push an aggressive, detailed midrange complete with lashings of punch, a cutting top-end and tight, well-pronounced lows. In short, if you’re toeing hard-rock and metal territory, and seeking a vibey slant on the modern G12M sonics, these Blackback’s unearthed by ENGL® are a bonafide final destination! When retrofitted into an 80’s ENGL®’s 4×12, expect hard-hitting lows, deft-levels of power, exemplary precision and an sonic onslaught that guarantees to pummel your audience into submission!

Part of the new-for-2023 ENGL® FrankenCabs Volume 2 DynIR Cabinet Collection, the ENGL® FrankenCab E412-V8 Black70 has been exquisitely captured using a premium collection of mainstay and unorthodox mics. With the FrankenCabs series, ENGL®’s mission is simple: deliver the perfect blend of atypical and super-versatile sonics to empower your performance with an undeniable, unique edge – boy have they delivered!
