NCD: Marshall 2061CX

Post by blackstratblues »

Been low key looking for one to pair up with my 1986 head, this showed up on FB and I decided to finally grab one. Never thought I’d dig the anniversary G12-H30s but they’re nicely broken in and sound great. May toss a V30 in there at some point, who knows. Anyway, doesn’t this look cute? 🥳

Fuck yeah. My first guitar amp was the 2061X/2061CX half stack. Don't realllly miss the head but that was such an epic cab. I'd dibs that speaker if you change it out. Or maybe even the whole cab.

May be keen on a swap for one of the H30s if you’ve got a 16 ohm V30/65/Greenback/A-type?

I had one of these. Cool cabs, big sound. Great retro vibe.

Nice one :) looks like my old one, great cab. Would've kept it, but got a Mesa 2x12 to match my MkV.
Loving it so far

Did a bit of digging and found this on the Les Paul Forum
according to mitch colby from korg, the speakers on the HW series "...will be aged by “pulping” the cone and slightly degaussing the magnet." this may be why you may like the G12H30s in the 2061x cab, but haven't cared for them in the past.
I thought it was just a lot of break-in time, but this could explain why I like this cab more than any other G12H-30 70th Anniversaries I've played in the past. May be a good idea to just leave it stock, I reckon?
