Invective 212 - 120-watt 2x12" Extension Cabinet Review

Perfect Blend

This cab sounds so good. Just get it. With a block letter 5150 and a different mic on each speaker, it sounds huge.

BEST 2x12 Cab I've Ever Played Through. Now I Have To Get The 4x12.

The Peavey Invective .212 is without a doubt the best 2x12 cab I have ever played through. Great job Peavey, you guys certainly nailed it again with the Invective 120 and the Invective 2x12 and 4x12 cabs. I have been blown away so much by the Invective 2x12 that I am already putting some money aside to get the 4x12 version. Hopefully I will be able to connect with Dave here at… read more Sweetwater and find one available when the holiday season roles around. I had been wanting this amp and cab since I heard it was going to be released several years ago, and ever since I finally got mine earlier this year I have played it every single day and it still never ceases to amaze me. I have recently gotten into home recording so I am looking forward to being able to mic the different speakers up and see what kinds of tones I can create trying that out. I can't say enough about my Invective cab, it's such a killer cab, and while any quality cab sounds good with the Invective 120 head, the Invective 120 and the 212 cab certainly sound noticeably better when they are paired up together as they are meant to be. It's not just the V-30 & Creamback speaker combination that is responsible for making the cab sound as great as it does though, because I have since tried the 2 speakers in 2 other cabs and something about the cab itself (not sure if its the sizing, the materials, the quality construction, or all three combined) is special because it sounds just plain better. If you are going to purchase an Invective amp, or even if you are just looking for a killer 2x12 cab that not only sounds great, but stands on its own away from the crowd of other V-30 filled offerings out there, I would recommend you get ahold of an Invective .212 (or .412) cab. It's impossible to get a bad tone from these cabs.

Great Cab, Excellent sound

Looked at Bogner with this same speaker config but the price was out of my budget. Also was not impressed with the matching MASSHALL cab that matched my Marshall head so my rep Scott Augustyniak told me about this Peavey Invective cab loaded with a vintage 30 and a Creamback which I was looking for in a 212 cab. I had my doubts (not a big Peavey fan) but went ahead and ordered it.… read more I am more than pleased with this cabinet. Construction is solid and the sound is awesome with clear notes and great bass response. No regrets here. Paired it with my new Marshall SV-20H head and the two are a great match for me. I use it in my small studio and is perfect for my needs. The speaker combo is a great mix for great sound. Who needs a 412 when this 212 is so awesome. More than I had expected, looking for a great 212 cab this might be a great choice, It was for me. Thanks Scott for all your help.

Quality, sound and looks,,,

Beautiful, solid, well made cabinet. The blend of the Creamback and the Vintage 30 is excellent, great bottom end and very punchy. Love it. Worth every penny.

Fat and warm with a lot of bottom end...just like yo mama.

Excellent response and resonance. Very tight and solid construction. Warm, tight, woody tones with a great bottom end. Very good paring with 5150-ish amps. Sounds fabulous mic'd up and in the mix. I'm running a 3120 through it and I'm back in love with that amp because of this cab. Also sounds great with my PRS MT15, though I have to push the mids and treble up a bit because it's… read more a darker voiced amp. Good job, Peavey.
