Re: does old wood affects the tone of a cab??
I know most 1960A cabs are made of birch plywood
dont know if they are now or not, but mine is
and are very affordable if you get them used.
OK i just read that the new ones are still made with
15mm Birch Plywood but the new ones have
Fiberboard Backs.
My Cab is from 99 so i dont know when they started that
This is from the website
"Ready For Your Gig - Wherever That Might Be!
Roadworthiness is a vital prerequisite in the world of relentless touring and as Marshall's 40 years of cabinet building attests, Marshall cabinets are definitely built to stand the test of time! Their highly skilled craftsmen construct these 4x12s from the finest materials available - 15mm birch plywood with precision 'finger locked' (comb) joints, tough cotton backed PVC covering, heavy duty hardware and the highest quality fittings.
Weighing in at around 80 lbs, the JCM1960A is made of 15mm birch plywood (except for the back panel, which is medium density fiberboard) and built for tone, projection, and durability. The majority of cabinet construction is done by hand."
