Design:
All our custom guitar speaker cabinets are designed for optimum performance
of the chosen speaker.
Construction: Covered with
high quality marine tolex, cabinets are made of solid wood and Baltic
Birch 13ply best quality plywood. We choose either Pine or Alder for
wooden models. The sonic and resonant quality of these woods is similar
as well as the hardness of the woods. Baffles are 3/4" 13ply
Baltic Birch. Joints are Through Dovetails (the strongest joint).
Speakers:
Weber VST is standard on all models.
We try to cover a wide range of tones. British flavoured cabs have
Blue Pups and Blue Dogs that stack up extremely strong against commonly
appreciated Selection Blue, making Vox's come alive (especially reissues).
American flavoured models feature speakers like 12A125A, 12A150T that
truly capture vintage Jensen character, working extremely well with
single coil Strats, Teles, Hollow Body models and tube amps.
Wiring: All models are wired
in parallel for high effeciency ( +3Db parallel, -3Db series).
Warranty:
5 year limited warranty covering cabinet construction and 1 year limited
warranty covering speakers.
Custom Guitar Speaker Cabinets
- Studio Series
Design:
All cabinets are designed for optimum performance of the chosen
speaker.
These cabinets are front ported, closed back design. The closed
back ensures consistency of sound regardless of the wall structure
behind the cabinet as well as phase alignment.
* Some 210 Models as well as the 112
model feature large front ports that are almost equal to the speaker
cone diameter. In combination with carefully calculated cabinet
volume, they will double the acoustic output of two speakers and
produce sound that is full and rich, normally never considered to
come out of a 210 cab.
The lower power of the speakers is meant to complement the studio
environment and is suitable for lower powered amps to drive them
very effectively at moderate volume levels.
212 models have tuned front ports.
Construction: We choose fine
local woods to build these cabinets. The West Coast is abundant
in Maple and Alder that are both superb choices for construction
as well as aesthetics of these finely finished cabinets. The baffles
are 3/4" 13ply Baltic Birch. Joints are handcut Through Dovetails
(the strongest joint). Additional internal bracing is employed to
further reduce internal vibration transfer, as well as superior
wall insulation to reduce the effect of standing waves inside the
cabinet.
Finishing: After the cabinet
is assembled, the wood is sealed and coated with several coats of
our homemade finish and then polished to give it that rich look
of finely finished furniture. We recommend buffing it with a lint
free, soft cloth if a higher sheen is desired.
Some feel that
wood gets "dinged" and scratched and that a wooden cabinet
should stay put in the studio. Although we agree that these cabinets
will be better preserved in a studio, wood can easily be refinished
and polished to maintain the same look for years and years only
becoming better and deeper in colour with time. Vinyl, or Tolex
covered cabinets are harder to repair if the covering gets torn
or scratched. A wooden cabinet will age gracefully and turn into
an heirloom to be treasured and revered.
Speakers:
Weber VST is standard on all models.
We try to cover a wide range of tones. British flavoured cabs have
Blue Pups and Blue Dogs that stack up extremely strong against commonly
appreciated Selection Blue, making Vox's come alive (especially
reissues). Marshall fans will also be impressed with our 212.
American flavoured models feature speakers like 12A125A, 12A150T
that truly capture vintage Jensen character working extremely well
with single coil Strats, Tele's, Hollow body guitars and tube amps.
Wiring: All models are wired
in parallel.
New: Right now we
are testing an impedance equalizer circuit that will allow us to
tame high frequency spikes and balance the output curve even further,
producing a superbly smooth and flat response never before seen
in guitar speakers.
Warranty:
5 year limited warranty covering cabinet construction and 1 year
limited warranty covering speakers.
Design:
All cabinets are designed for optimum performance of the chosen
speaker.
There are a couple of design choices here. Knowing the history of
vintage Tweeds, we want to offer something that matches well the
look, size and feel. We offer a typical 212 just slightly deeper
than the original. A 410 to match the Bassman combo or DeVille /
Deluxe and a front ported closed back 210 which is deeper and lighter.
Construction: Covered with
Tweed Cloth, cabinets are made of solid wood. We choose either Pine
or Alder. The sonic and resonant quality of these woods is similar
as well as the hardness of the wood. Baffles are 3/4" 13ply
Baltic Birch. Joints are Through Dovetails (the strongest joint).
Speakers:
Weber VST is standard on all models.
We favour speakers like 12A125A, that truly capture vintage Jensen
character working extremely well with single coil Strats and Tele's,
making these cabs a great match to any vintage Fender, Fender style
custom and DIY amps, as well as superb extension cabs for Bandmaster,
Super Reverb, Twin, Blues DeVille, HotRod DeVille and of course
the BASSMAN.
Wiring: All models are wired
in parallel.
Warranty:
5 year limited warranty covering cabinet construction and 1 year
limited warranty covering speakers.
