Barefaced Audio Cabinets

Post by Terexgeek »

Is this the first time “Hifi” speaker cabinet acoustic design has been applied to guitar cabs?

Could be cool, the exact guitar speaker/s of your choice in a lightweight cab able to be carried by one person up a flight of stairs with an amp head in the other hand.

As an old fulla, that appeals more than a quad.

I would imagine the dimensions of everything have to be pretty accurate to make this work like it does.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

So, more bloody GAS. I'm going to order a 1x12 and flick the Zilla cab I haven't loaded yet (only 100 quid difference). Just wonder what speaker to go for. There's a pretty big choice on the website. In my existing amps I've a Creamback 65 and a Celestion Anniversary G12H so some room for experimentation.

Any thoughts? What's your vote for a good all-round Celestion?

EDIT. The speaker upgrades are quite spendy so I'm as well to order it with a V30 and I can always flick that on later.

Measurements are near identical to my Friedman DS Mini 1x12 cab.

They charge a 'nominal' customization fee of $100 for specifying 16 ohm over the standard 8.
