The MII MessyBarbra 412 Green is a DynIR from MII, inspired by — and captured from — a Mezzabarba® 4×12 cabinet, loaded with Celestion® Greenback G12M-20 drivers.

Founded in 1998 in the Etruscan town of Farnese, Masotti Guitar Devices and its high-end brand Mezzabarba Custom Amplification are built on 100% original R&D and entirely hand-crafted in Italy. Known for meticulous design and a strong tonal identity, Mezzabarba cabinets reflect a distinctly European approach to guitar tone — expressive, musical and unapologetically characterful.

The Mezzabarba 4×12 brings a raw, old-school edge with a modern backbone. It throws sound wide, reacts fast and delivers that unmistakable Greenback grind when the amp is working. The low end stays lean and responsive, the mids bark and snarl, and the top end rolls off naturally, keeping things aggressive without getting sharp or brittle.

With G12M-20 Greenbacks driving the capture, the MII MessyBarbra 412 Green leans into texture and feel. Chords compress and growl, riffs have movement and bite, and single-note lines cut with attitude rather than sheer volume. It’s less about surgical tightness and more about character — perfect for hard rock, punk, classic metal and gain tones that need to sound alive.

Officially Licensed LEWITT® Microphones

When it comes to capturing guitar cabinets properly, LEWITT® microphones are a first — and final — choice. Trusted by engineers who work loud, LEWITT® microphones are known for capturing punch, detail and balance without ironing out the character. Founded in 2009, LEWITT® has earned its reputation as a premium option for serious guitar tones.

The Crank It Up Volume II DynIR Cabinet Collection marks the first time officially licensed microphones have been featured, with captures driven by LEWITT®’s LCT 1040, LCT 441 FLEX and DTP 640 REX. When paired with guitar-recording mainstays inspired by Shure®, Royer®, Heil Sound® and Audix®, expect raw, mix-ready mic options that keep the attitude intact.

Available individually or as part of the “Crank It Up Volume II” DynIR Cabinet Collection, the MII MessyBarbra 412 Green has been expertly captured to deliver seamless adaptation from the studio to the stage. Turn it up — the MII MessyBarbra 412 Green brings that unmistakable Greenback bark straight to the front of the mix.
