Your Crate BV215B Dual 15” Guitar Cabinet is built from the
finest materials and components available. The cabinet is carefully constructed from 13 ply Baltic Birch and covered with
extremely tough Tolex®. The cabinet is then loaded with special
heavy duty speakers which are custom designed to accentuate
the fundamental and subharmonic frequencies of the guitar.
The BV215B comes standard with casters, steel handles, a
heavy duty metal grille for ultimate speaker protection, and a
switchable, dual-impedance mono/stereo jackplate.
The BV215B also comes with a 14 gauge speaker cable to
help insure maximum power and low frequencies from your new
cabinet.
For those wishing to use multiple cabinets, the dimensions of
the BV215B have remained the same as the BV412 cabinets
to allow secure stacking and visual continuity.
