While MESA Road King Cabinets were primarily conceived for use with the built-in cabinet switcher found on the landmark Road King Amplifier, they offer amazing tonal options and versatility with ANY amplifier!

With the Rectifier Cabinets as their blueprint for materials, construction, and layout, Road King Cabinets provide a new level of performance and convenience through the use of an innovative Dual-Cabinet design. Road King 2x12s and 4x12s feature a tuned open-back side (left) and a sealed, closed-back side (right), each of which may be used independently or combined, all within the same cabinet! Combined with the cabinet-switching option built-in the Road King Head or Combo, OR - using an external cabinet switcher with your favorite amp, dynamic live performance, composition, and miking options are endless.

Road King 4x12 Slant Cabinet
The Road King(R) 4x12 Slant gets its design foundation largely from the Rectifier(R) 4x12 Slant, adding a dado-joined vertical panel in the center of the cab to isolate the closed-back side of the cab from the open-back side.

Finished with a custom-tuned, one-piece rear panel spanning both sides, Celestion Vintage 30s are loaded in the closed side and exclusive Celestion Custom 90s in the open side, offering amazing tonal variety and application flexibility. A side-by-side comparison with a 4x12 Rectifier Slant Cab showcases the Road King cab as being slightly tighter and more focused in the lows with a little more prominent midrange and… read more sparkle in the high-end from the open-back influence. Combined with the cabinet-switching option built into the Road King Head or Combo, OR - using an external cabinet switcher with your favorite amp, dynamic live performance, composition, and miking options are endless.

SLANT-style Road King 4x12 Cabinets offer a "monitor" effect due to the top speakers sloping up toward your ears. This can be a benefit when playing live. Other players prefer the STRAIGHT-style cabinets with all speakers attached to a one-piece baffle and all facing the same direction, effectively "coupled" for maximum punch and frontal projection. Regardless of Slant or Straight, if you are playing a Road King 4x12, your tone has authority, clarity, and detail that only MESA(R) Road King 4x12 Cabinets deliver.

You simply won't find a better cabinet. ALL MESA(R) ENCLOSURES are made using the finest Void-free, Marine Grade Baltic Birch. Super strong rabbet corners are glued and nailed.
