Product Description
Achillies Typhon 2×12 Slanted-Front Speaker Cabinet
The Typhon 2×12 Slanted-Front speaker cabinet delivers a powerful blend of punch, clarity, and dynamic presence in a versatile and musical 2×12 format. Designed to give guitarists the incomparable feel and responsiveness of a classic slant 4×12 voice in a more compact footprint, this cabinet has become one of our best-selling models for good reason.
With vertically aligned speakers in a carefully voiced slanted baffle, the Typhon 2×12 produces a bold, balanced tone that’s articulate, expressive, and rich with character. Whether you’re dialing in clean textures, bluesy drive, or high-gain roar, this cabinet gives you the nuance and authority you need without sacrificing definition or energy.
Dynamic Projection & Focused Tonal Balance
The angled front gives the Typhon 2×12 a natural projection that helps the sound carry both on stage and in the studio. The driver layout and enclosure geometry work in harmony to deliver tight lows, warm and present mids, and smooth highs that are never harsh — making this cab feel alive under your fingers and expressive at all volume levels.
Responsive, Player-Driven Voice
What sets this cabinet apart is how it responds to your touch and your amp’s voice. Transients feel sharp and defined, yet the overall tone remains full and satisfying. Compared to a straight 2×12, the slanted front provides a slightly more forward midrange character and enhanced clarity, making it great for rhythm parts, lead lines, and everything in between.
Built with Achillies’ commitment to quality and tone, this cabinet combines precision engineering with handcrafted craftsmanship — from the rigid Baltic Birch shell to the custom wiring and robust hardware — ensuring a reliable, musical platform for your rig.

Typhoon 2x12 Slant
I have owned one of these now for several years now and it hasn’t missed a beat. It still sounds awesome! Lots of positive feedback from fellow guitarists.

Typhon 2 x 12
I ordered two cabs, one with G12M greenbacks and the other with G12H creambacks. A great combination to the 4 x 12 Argos I also purchased which gives a great spread and accentuates the mids with a tighter bass.

Achillies Typhon 2x12 Cabinet
Following the new release of this brilliant new product I thought it was time to post my experience: The Achillies Typhon 2 x 12 cabinet is articulate, focused, present and tight. It has a mild mid range spike yet has a natural resonance. I use mine with a PRS Archon 100 in 50 watt mode and it is clean and crisp on the clean channel with an organic response that cuts through. On the gain channel, it is smooth and thick yet has a mild mid range bite with a tight response that cuts through the live mix. It has a slight Marshall Cabinet flavor, yet still retains mostly American Cabinet characteristics (Mesa, etc). It is day and night different to my Mesa Recto Cabinet (Mesa V30s) and seems warmer to my ears. The low end response is tight yet retains a slight open character, allowing crisp clean and thick gain to punch through. It has a brighter tone compared with the Mesa Cabinet yet adds a nice contrast to it. The cabinet construction is compact, slimline and solid with attachable castor wheels yet fixed rubber feet. In my view the Achillies Cabinet enhances clean and dirty channels of the PRS Archon.

Typhon 2x12
This speaker cab sounds massive and opened up the sound I was getting from my Mesa Express Plus. My speakers are the V30 and creamback combo. Everything now sounds warm, tight and articulate. The build quality is on point and the whole process from initial chat to order to receiving was flawless.

Solid build quality. Massive wide sound for a 2x12.
I bought this versatile cab to go with my Dual Rectifier. The V30s sounds warm and clear for cleans, bitey and mean for lead and chugs like nothing else when required. The cab projects well and is relatively easy to carry upstairs or fit into a car. The craftsmanship and dedication to quality are outstanding and the customer experience working with Labros and Achillies is next level. I highly recommend any gear that they make.
