A few years ago there was a JDesigns 212 sitting on Craigslist forever. The price kept dropping and when it got to $275 I was about to jump on it and then it was gone. I thought I would take a shot and see if that cab was still floating around the area, maybe the seller just took it down instead of selling it so cheap. I but a post on Craigslist looking specifically for a JDesign, but called for any 212 someone might want to sell. The guy that had posted the cab I remembered reached out within two days. He had indeed sold the cab. It was a 412 sized cab, with 212 diagonal set up. But... he had another JDesigns 212 sitting in a corner that hadn't been touched and he was willing to sell. He didn't plan to actively post it, so he told me to talk my time (he's 45 minutes from me). That worked because I had just bought a Maz 8 and needed to do some shot outs between it and a Maz 18. Over a couple weeks I decided on keeping the Maz 8 loaded with a G12H-30 and reached out for the 212 vertical slant. What a match for the Maz 8. That little amp through three 12" speakers is glorious! It's loaded with a Jensen and W Reaper HP (50w Greenback). They sound really nice. It's wired to 8 ohm, but the speakers are both 16. I'll eventually roll some different speakers through it. The cab isn't too heavy, has side handles and removable casters. I got it mostly for home fun, but I certainly have an option now to match with either the Maz 8 or 38. Looking forward running the two Maz amps in stereo and seeing what it's like running each one through the 212 as I do.

Man is that killer looking. It’s such a shame Jeff’s not making cabs anymore. his cabs were top notch. I have a oversized pine 1x12 he made for me that just sounds HUGE.

No idea. haven’t heard a thing. I don’t know if he’s still making the cabs for his brother, Ben Fargen, for his amps or not.

He did put a MV into a Marshall clone that I built, that was about a year ago. It took him about 6 months to get to it, I don't think he enjoys amp work right now.
