Yeah part of me wants the Orange 810 too but that price is very unattractive. Almost twice what my Ampeg 810 cost me.

I hear they are also quite a bit heavier than an ampeg 810 which is already quite beastly to lug around.

whoa I just went over to the emperor site for fun since I know they get alot of love for their cabs. I see they have an orange color option. That could be an interesting option...Would Emperor cabs be a better bet than the OBCs?

[Lazarus.Bird]

Sound wise, probably not.

Ah I'll probably just go with the OBCs then since I can get them locally. Shipping to Canada would be like 400$ apparently. Probably not worth it.

I think the appeal is the aesthetic. If you want custom and you want function, Don at LDS (lowdownsound) will make whatever cab you want. Tl606 for instance.

Heck, if someone had the 408 plans, Don could probably whip it up too.

Of course looks wise, Hex cabs are the best IMO. Those cabs are the back line when the apocalyspe happens.

Well I'm not necessarily looking for custom. Just something that will match the AD200B I have coming in. I'm anal about stuff like that.

Like when I had ordered my SVT VR I ordered the matching cab too but something got screwed up somewhere and they sent me a regular 810e instead. For most people that probably would have been good enough since it's the same cab as the 810AV just a different grill but for me having a mismatched head and cab wasn't happening so I got them to get an 810AV in for me. I waited an extra month for it to show up.

I know they don't have 215 or 810 configurations, but Avatar offers orange tolexed cabs for a reasonable rate, if you're intested in 2x 410s or something like that.

[JoeVictim]

Anyone mixing 15's and 10's these days? All this cab talk has me thinking of when I saw Zoroaster and the bass player used an ampeg and traynor 8-10" ( the old traynors with 3x2x3 config.) His tone was massive.

LDS offers any color, any config, anything you want really. Just have to pay for it...

I really considered LDS, along with Emperor and a few others when I needed a certain weight cab. Anywho, if you got the gas for orange, nothing else is going to fill the gap.

No problem competing w/ the guitarists Marshall, and they were not a quiet band.

Here's a pic wifie took of me getting my lunge on!

Was it the bass version or guitar version? And was the acoustic a a folded horn?

[ampegfuzz]

Here's low Sam, my arm is almost straight and the bottom staple button is close to my knee

[thombo]

hmmm, i honestly didn't know that Marshall made a JCM 800 bass model... my curiousity is peeked. the Acoustic was not a folded horn- just a big, square cab (about the size of a 4x10 cab) w/ a front firing speaker. it didn't look like any other Acoustic cab I've ever seen before, vintage or the new.

I actually love the look of the 810AV and AD200 together

Hmm, the JCM 800 bass version I played in Colorado was quiet as hell so I figured it was the folded horn 118, Strange.

Wuss, J/K lol. I did it for two sets then busted out my P bass. It readily depends on the situation but my straps are all different lengths.

[sanfordandsonny]

If anyone lives near Emporer they take ALOT of 810's in trade so if you need one or four drop em a line.

Well that's what I'll be rocking untill I can get the scratch together to get the two OBCs. I'll just plop the Orange on top of the SVT rig.

[Rushing]

Don @ LDS will build you whatever you want at pretty much unbeatable prices.
My 80lb Eminence Kappalite 3015 loaded 215 he built me this summer for under a grand shipped.

We were talking about muffs yesterday: here's a cheap clone. Red Muff Fuzz Clone

Anyone have any experience with the Source Audio SA221? Or Source Audio pedals in general?
http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/...distortion.php

It appears to be digital, but with an insane amount of tweakability, the ability to have two presets.
