V212B Guitar Speaker Enclosure 2 Introduction Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Crate V212B guitar amplifier loudspeak- er enclosure. The V212B guitar cabinet is built from the finest materials and components available. The cabinet is carefully constructed and then covered with extremely tough fabric- backed vinyl. It is then loaded with two custom designed 12" ceramic magnet speakers. The V212B comes standard with a carrying handle on top, and a switchable, dual-impedance mono/stereo jackplate on the back. The V212B enclosure is designed to be used with the Crate V33H head, but is compatible with any guitar amplifier head with up to 100 watts of power. The closed back design pro- duces incredibly crisp, responsive tone for any genre. Like all Crate products, the V212B guitar enclosure is designed by musicians and built using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that these guitar enclosures are the absolute best they can be.
