Hello, I have been on the quest to ID these speaker cabinets that Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin used in 1969 with no luck.

I know that these are not the clearest pictures to ID by, but I hope that they work.

What I am trying to identify is these two different cabinets that are under the Marshall amps.






In the second picture, the logo plate is in the upper left corner with a squiggly or ballooned logo in it.

Thanks for your help.

hmmm good luck with that. there were a lot of oddball 'no name' cab makers around back then, could be any one of them.

I once owned an old "dynacell" cab that was similar to the one with the white stripe there, but the badge was rectangular and it had no white stripe. mine was from 1976 though, not the 60's.

the other one looks a lot like a sunn but with a different badge.



difficult.

Am not entirely convinced that's a Marshall in the second pic, either.

Input is on opposite side and knobs look wrong

maybe its a rare left-handed marshall?

Sound City?

Hey, maybe I should get me one of those.


FWIW, none of the backline in that second pic was anything to do with the band. It was all studio gear. Quite likely the same for the first pic too.

The amp in pic 2 is the Arbiter Power One Hundred.

I was gonna suggest that the picture may have been reversed with the inputs on the left. But Shakti pulled out the right answer. I have never heard of them.

Arbiter?
Sound City were Arbiter.

the arbiter is quite a well known amp amongst jimmy page fans. its the cabs hes trying to id
