DISCOVER THE JENSEN VINTAGE CERAMIC C12K2 COMPACT CABS

The C12K2 is a step forward from the C12K. It has a different cone membrane which grants a more extended treble response to increase the detail and the shimmer of the tone, yet retains a well contoured smoothness. Equally at home with clean and mid-gain crunch tones, the C12K2 offers an outstanding response to the player's touch. When used with higher gain tones, it offers a powerful, rounded, organic tone that delivers a full-bodied thickness to single note lead runs. Overloud captured the C12K2 in a fine-tuned selection of compact and large cabinets, with their trademark 19 microphones / 16 position process.
