When you need the power of a 4x12 cabinet but lack the space or strength to transport one, the Mesa/Boogie 2x12 Horizontal Recto Cabinet is the perfect solution. This iconic sealed enclosure is modeled after the lower two speakers of Mesa's Standard Oversized Rectifier 4x12, offering a compact design with impressive low-end depth and sharp midrange clarity.
While it’s a favorite in high-gain rock, alternative, and metal genres, this cabinet excels equally with clean tones and heavy distortion. Equipped with Track-Loc casters for easy transport, it’s ready to deliver massive sound without the bulk of a full stack.
A Tone That Delivers Impact
Don't let the compact size fool you. The Horizontal Recto's closed-back construction delivers a focused, punchy sound that projects like a cannonball. Inside, two rear-mounted Celestion Vintage 30 speakers pump out the classic warmth and snarl that define legendary guitar tones. With a midrange presence that could slice through a brick wall, you'll never get lost in the mix again.
120-Watt Power Handling: Paired Celestion Vintage 30 speakers provide headroom for even the most aggressive playing, delivering complex overtones and tight bottom end without breaking a sweat.
Sealed Enclosure Design: The closed-back construction directs sound forward with exceptional projection and punch, making this 2x12 feel surprisingly powerful — like a 4x12 in disguise.
8-Ohm Impedance: Optimized for Mesa/Boogie Rectifier heads and other high-gain amplifiers, with a paralleled mono output for daisy-chaining additional cabinets when you really need to move some air.
The Best Build in the Business
All Mesa/Boogie cabinets are handcrafted in Petaluma, California, using construction techniques built to last. These aren't made from particle board with a vinyl cover — they're touring-grade designs built to withstand the rigors of life on the road.
Marine-Grade Baltic Birch Construction: This cabinet is built like a battleship with void-free plywood, which means there are no weak spots, no resonance-killing dead zones, and no regrets when you inevitably bump it into a door frame during load-in.
Rabbet Corners and Dado Joints: These aren't your grandpa's bookshelves. Super-strong, glued-and-nailed rabbet corners meet dado-fitted speaker baffles and internal bracing to create a cabinet that stays tight and resonant for decades to come.
Twisted Jute Grille: That signature black grille isn't just for looks. It's dipped in a special coating that filters high-end fizz, smoothing out harsh treble for a sweeter, more balanced sound that makes your tone sing.
Stage-Ready and Road-Worthy
Looking professional matters, and the Horizontal Recto delivers classic Mesa aesthetics wrapped in durable Black Bronco vinyl. The compact horizontal format fits easily on smaller stages, while the included hardware makes transport and setup effortless.
Track-Loc Removable Casters: Roll your cabinet into position effortlessly, then pop off the casters and set it directly on the floor for maximum coupling and low-end response when it's showtime.
Compact Dimensions: Measuring 17.5" H × 30.1" W × 14.25" D and weighing 61 pounds, this cabinet is highly portable without compromising sound quality — your back will thank you.
Fitted Slipcover Included: Keep your cabinet looking pristine through countless gigs, rehearsals, and van rides with the included protective slipcover.
Elevate Your Tone
The Mesa/Boogie 2x12 Horizontal Recto Cabinet delivers massive guitar tone without the bulk of a 4x12. It's tight, punchy, and built with exceptional quality to outlast your current amp — and the next one too. When a full stack isn’t an option, this legendary cabinet will make you question if you even need one.
