Pre-owned in very good condition, this Marshall MF400A Mode Four speaker cabinet is capable of producing 400-Watts of power through a set of Celestion G12-K100 speakers.
This cabinet has been well looked after and shows only light marks and scratches, a great find for the player wanting a power cabinet for their favourite valve head.
Please note the JCM800 head is not included and is listed separately.
"The MF280 (280W) and MF400 (400W) cabinets are specially engineered to reproduce the balanced mid range and huge bottom end that are a pre-requisite for extreme hard rock and nu-metal sounds.
Features:
Sonically optimized Celestion loudspeaker designs
Pro-gauge internal wiring
Increased internal volume
Metal logo and piping
In keeping with all legendary Marshall cabinets the MF 4x12 in. cabinets are not only ready for the sonic demands of a high performance head like the MF350, but also the extreme physical abuse they may receive on the road.
Marshall recommends the MF280A (angled) and B (base) for full-stack operation and the MF400A or B for half-stack operation.
Full Stack Versus Half Stack
The MODE FOUR cabinets can be used either as a full stack (2 cabinets) or half stack (1 cabinet) configuration. The rig you choose is a matter of personal taste and as always when it comes to sound we recommend you try both to see which suits your style best. Below is a guide to the major attributes of each:
Full Stack:
Enhanced on stage spread
More 'cut through' due to accentuated treble and high mids
Iconic stage presence
Half Stack:
More controllable spread of sound on stage (especially base type)
Convenient and portable
Half Stack Options
Whether you choose an angled or base half stack configuration is a personal choice between the different tonal qualities of each set up.
The MF400A (angled) is, in keeping with other angled 4x12 in. cabinets, tonally more aggressive than the base option. The angled cabinet is the usual choice for those who want a more prominent upper mid and treble response that really cuts through in a live situation."
