Where did you get yours?

I just started with Duke's logo from his web site and morphed it into that.
On Duke's forum we had talked about what his badging might look like eventually and I just ran with the basic idea in a simplified version. I tried several color combos and aspect ratios and liked that one best for the match to some of my rack gear. Duke's idea would look a lot cooler and classier, but the cost is/was kind of high and I know Duke puts priority on function over form. Hopefully I didn't just make more work for him!

One of the coolest things about being able to do a gig like that with my small Thunderchild cab on a small 'luggage style' cart is that you can get away with 'front door load in' sometimes, and also on the rare occasion where I stay in the hotel that I'm performing in, you can just wheel the rig to your room after the gig. Nice!
New York gigging schlep, of course, is a whole other thing that I can't quite imagine  The New York scene was Duke's primary motivation/inspiration for developing his original cab, the Thunderchild112 (based on a few conversations a couple of years ago). Deep and loud enough to do a pop dance gig, sensitivity (given the custom 4ohm 3012LF) high enough to get full performance from a 500 watt micro head, tonally EB friendly and DB friendly, and small enough to fit in a cab trunk, on the subway, or a long walk on a small cart!
These small 'super cabs' really are wonderful..... no tonal compromise and little 'volume' compromise, and just a dream for the 'self employed freelance player' that always has a 'solo load in and out'.

In my band, the flute player also plays tenor and baritone sax ( not at the same time  ). Singer has it easiest; does'nt even own his own mic.

They can't find the key, and don't know when to come in. |

We plugged his EUB and bass into his little 200 watt AI combo and ran it into my 1515/66 and the Thunderchild 15, quite extensively.
Overall, I don't think it can be stated enough how loud a TC 115 gets per watt.
Also, I totally understand now why so many doublers like these things. The sound when he was bowing through the Thunderchild was pretty ridiculously awesome. I wanted to mash the fuzz pedal on desperately :P

The TC112 is the sweet spot for DB though, due to the slightly less extended low end, and IMO and IME a bit more even ratio of mids to highs. |

So: my TC212 is out the door and scheduled to meet it's new owner today.
Great cab, but I much prefer the TC115 in terms of how it meets the "SPL per pound/square inch" thing, and, in terms of how it fits my toolbox.
If anyone's been wondering where Duke is, it seems his computer caught some wicked evil virus.......boooo
