About the Lee Jackson™ METALTRONIX · 4×12
1986 · Closed-Back · Celestion™ G12M-70

The Lee Jackson™ METALTRONIX is a 1986 American boutique 4×12 cabinet from Lee Jackson — an amp and cabinet designer associated with several high-gain and metal-oriented projects of the era.

The METALTRONIX is a closed-back 4×12 — the format that defined the high-gain rock and metal sound of the late 1980s, when high-power closed-back 4×12 cabinets became the standard for the tighter low-end and controlled midrange the genre demanded.

This particular cabinet is loaded with Celestion™ G12M-70 12-inch speakers — the higher power-handling variant of the Greenback family, rated at 70 watts to handle the high-output amps and aggressive playing styles characteristic of 1980s metal.

A reference capture for the late-80s American boutique high-gain palette: closed-back tightness in the low end and the G12M-70's mid-forward voicing — fast articulation, sustained lead tones, and the specific tonal character of late-80s metal production, all imprinted in this single IR.
