AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic masterpiece of Italian boutique craftsmanship: the Jad Freer Audio Box 1x12 cabinet (closed back version). This passive 8 Ohm cab was designed specifically to solve the classic problem of traditional 1x12s (focused, shrill sound), offering, thanks to a sophisticated Bass Reflex system, the punch, body, and sonic impact typical of a traditional 2x12 cab, but in only 48 cm in width.

The beating heart of this cabinet is the legendary Celestion Vintage 30 (V30) 60W cone. Even though it is the undisputed king of heavy rock and metal (it is the cone that defines the sound of bands like Metallica, Slash, Dream Theater, Linkin Park, Tool and countless others), the Vintage 30 is surprisingly versatile:
• On Clean sounds: It provides a warm response and plenty of headroom.
• On Crunch sounds: It brings out that roaring bite and the sonic “pasta” typical of British classic rock, marrying divinely with Marshall Plexi-style circuits.

Jad Freer Audio is a boutique brand of excellence, entirely designed and handmade in Italy. Known among professionals across Europe for its incredible build reliability and advanced acoustic engineering, the brand stands out for its ability to fuse the warmth of vintage timbres with modern “on the road” performance. Each cabinet is finished with top-quality materials, rugged tolex, and features a removable front fabric grille to facilitate precise miking in studio or on stage.

This cab is the natural extension for vintage low-wattage valve heads. The Celestion V30 cone tames the harsh upper frequencies and enhances the valve saturation of the EL34 output stage, guaranteeing an impressive wall of sound without the need to haul heavy 2x12 or 4x12 cabinets.

Technical Spec:
• Speaker: 1x12" Celestion Vintage 30 (60 Watt)
• Impedance: 8 Ohm
• Configuration: Closed-back with tuned Bass Reflex system
• Dimensions: 48 x 29 x 42 cm
• Weight: 17 kg
Purchased by my son for €520; I’m selling it as he has moved abroad.

The combination of Jad Freer’s Bass Reflex engineering (which pushes and fattens the low frequencies as if it were a much larger cabinet) and the midrange definition of the Celestion V30 creates a perfect acoustic balance. The result is a huge, balanced, powerful, and incredibly professional sound in an ultra-portable format.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
