The Line 6 PowerCab CL 112 100W 1x12 powered guitar speaker cabinet brings modelers and amp simulators to life with real guitar speaker tone and feel. Inside its lightweight open-back enclosure is a single 12" speaker powered by a 100W amplifier, built for responsive, stage-ready sound. The PowerCab CL 112 offers six selectable Speaker Voicings that interact directly with its speaker, creating dynamic responses that reflect classic cabinet types. Players using a Helix, HX, or any amp simulation pedal can connect directly and rely on simple controls—including a three-band room EQ—to fine-tune their sound for practice or live gigs. With IR loading via USB and XLR output, the cabinet is ready for direct recording or FOH mixing, making it practical for players who use digital rigs on stage.
Six Speaker Voicings Shape Realistic Tone
Players select from six Speaker Voicings using the encoder, each tuned to sound like iconic guitar speakers. When using a modeler, the speaker interacts with each voicing for different tonal flavors and dynamic response. This lets guitarists dial in sounds that feel familiar while keeping the flexibility of digital gear. Choosing a voicing changes how the cabinet reacts to picking and volume, adding a layer of expressiveness that digital setups often lack.
Power Amp In Mode Bypasses Speaker Modeling
Switching to Power Amp In mode disables the Speaker Voicings and turns the unit into a pure powered cabinet. Amp modelers output directly to the speaker, delivering uncolored tone and authentic response. This mode suits players who want to use their own IRs or need a straightforward stage solution without extra coloration. Direct input makes setup simple and maintains the core sound of your rig.
Simple Controls and IR Loading Streamline Setup
Users manage sound using a three-band room EQ, easy-to-read encoders, and clear labeling for inputs and outputs. IR loading over USB lets guitarists add custom or factory impulse responses to the XLR output, creating virtual cab sounds for recording or FOH mixing. MIDI and USB connections offer extra control, while the combo input jack handles a variety of gear. Fast setup and easy control mean less time tweaking, more time playing.
Open-Back Construction Supports Live Use
The open-back enclosure and robust materials make this powered speaker cabinet both lightweight and road-ready. Impact-resistant construction handles transport and regular gig use, while the open-back design contributes to a more natural sound and room-filling projection. This build quality means the cabinet can stand up to travel, rehearsal, and live shows without losing performance.
Player Experience Using the Line 6 PowerCab CL 112
This cabinet fits guitarists who rely on amp modelers but want real speaker interaction and flexible control. Live performers, studio musicians, and tech-forward players benefit from the responsive sound, quick setup, and easy tone shaping. With reliable construction and advanced connectivity, users can focus on playing and trust their sound will translate in any situation, from rehearsal rooms to the stage.
