Ministry Soto Warlock 412 Cream

TRY IT

The Ministry Soto Warlock 412 Cream is part of the official Ministry Artist-Series HotRod DynIR cabinet collection, inspired by – and captured from – Cesar Soto’s Wizard® straight 4×12 outfitted with a quartet of Celestion® Creamback 65 drivers.

Cesar Soto is a pillar in the modern world of iconic guitar sonics. Cuttin’ his teeth in West Texas-based heavy metal band PISSING RAZORS (Noise Records/Modern Music Ltd), his critically-acclaimed career is a veritable force to be reckoned with. With a slew of releases and headline international tours under his belt – including a series of original projects, notably YEARS of COLD, THE SIXTH and GORILLA DEATHBOX – today Ceasar takes the mantle of axe-man for grammy-nominated Industrial pioneers Ministry and a stone-hard arbiter of standout guitar sonics.

The faithful Creamback, it’s been a go-to driver for countless artists since its inception in the mid-sixties, including the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page. Fusing substantial power handling, boat-loads of low end grunt, an iconic vocal mid-range, raunchy upper-mids and crystal-clear, defined highs, it’s a versatile powerhouse perfectly suited to everything from a drop-tuned assault to sublime cleans where deft-articulation is paramount. When fused with a Wizard® straight 4×12 cab, the results are nothing short of spectacular; the power, precision and dispersion – all capped with expertly tuned resonance – makes this a match made in tone-head heaven.

Part of the Ministry | HotRod DynIR Cabinet collection, the Ministry Soto Warlock 412 Cream has been expertly captured at Stagg Street Studio, LA, using pro-grade recording peripherals and a mic collection that assures the utmost versatility from the studio to the stage!
