Does anyone have one? I'm going to put an order in for a 4x12" and wondered about your experience. Please share pics.

Haven't seen alot of them around, I know the Cloakroom guys use them, most likely due to NW Indiana ties. The shop is about an hour from me in Valparaiso and actually plan on ordering myself a 4x12 for christmas this year and hoping to check out the place some.

Bobby Markos, Cloakroom homie/former Native (rip Native :'() actually works for Janice. They make cool looking cabs for sure. If I was a money man I would have one of their 2x12s and a Science Hellhawk.

Wait wait wait...

Native broke up?

I thought Cloakroom was just a side gig.

Well they never announced a break up. But they haven't been active since their last album came out. My friend Justin who used to be in the band Alta (MKE Native worship. Sick SICK band) made a tongue-in-cheek Facebook post about them being broken up. I don't know really. But they sure as hell don't seem like they want to tour or play any more shows. Time will tell I guess.

Also neon: when we become roommates/band mates/best buds IRL we can fill the void left by Native's absence.

Yes! We can start our own atmospheric progressive mathy post hardcore band. And steal their drummer. Unless you're a drummer.

They played in my living room once with La Dispute. It was pretty much the best evening of my life. Such volume. Many stacks.

I am an absolutely piss poor drummer. But that's cool that they crammed all their shit into your living room! I just noticed you're from GA! Do you know the dudes in Tir Asleen? I am pretty tight with those guys and have played many shows with them.

EDIT: sorry for the massive derail. Janice cabs look hella dope.

I've never played one but saw Native And O'brother 3 times on their tour. They look great and sound massive.

All I need to know about Janice cabs is that Say Anything and Brand New both use them. Outside metal I can't think of two better guitar bands. (Titus Andronicus, maybe... anyway, not the point.) Between them and Black Market Custom I think those are the pop-punk/emo/post-hardcore/metalcore cabs to beat at the moment.

Jesse Lacey talks about them in his rig rundown but TBH, he mostly just mentions how the guy that makes them is his friend. Jesse is a superlative musician but seems to know extremely little about his own gear or what makes it sound good.

Yeah right, dude has a BUZZZ on his board. He knows everything he needs to about gear!

LOL

Don't get me wrong. Personally I think the very asphalt on which Brand New's tour bus drives is instantly converted into hallowed ground...

Anyway, here's Say Anything's 4x12

In 2014 Say Anything played a festival with Janice roster band Brand New, and became curious about the band’s new backline. The band soon got in touch with us about building them a cab for its winter tour. We built a 4×12 guitar cab loaded with Eminence Swamp Thangs and Eminence Deltas.

Oops... photo way too big... link here

When we saw Cymbals Eat Guitars and Brand New, Brian chose to stop hanging out with Jesse Lacey in order to come hang out with us instead.

LOL... I drove seven hours in December from New Brunswick down to Boston to see BN and Jesse wouldn't even sign my albums! What a dink! I still love him though

Anyway, I post the photo of SA's cab because unlike BN, they actually do know a lot about tone/guitars/gear/blah blah blah and the fact that they use a certain whatever is usually a pretty good endorsement of it, at least as far as it is good for live performance and gigging.

Oh look I found a screenshot from Rig Rundown of Jesse's Janice rig:
