Wizzy 10 Modification

Mike Dimin · #1 06-29-2009, 11:21 AM

I have Wizzy 10 Mod kits available.

This modification is for the EA Wizzy 10 Speaker cabinet with serial numbers that range between W10C202 and W10C321. Please note there are some cabinets within this range, sold by Bob Gollihur from the end of May 2009, that have already had the modification done.

Please note that the mod is not a radical change, it smooths out the transition from bass through the mids.

Kits are 7.50 plus the cost of shipping. If you are interested, please PM me

Thanks for all your patience

Mike,

Any way you could post instructions with pics, so we can decide if we want to DIY - it or not? Also interested to hear from anyone who's had the mod done, how do you like it?

Thanks!

So I checked my serial number and it's W10B26x rather than 10C. How is this cab different?

The batting material in the aforementioned "C" series cabs is slightly thicker than the batting material in the A and B series. The key to the mod, in the "C" series is a thinner batting material

Does installing the kit result in a noticeable difference in the sound produced by the cabinet?

A Groove is a Terribl Thing to Waste!

Yes it is noticible. How noticible is more qualitative than quantitative.

So with my serial number W110 A020 this mod kit will not work ? the mod kit will be too thin ? what's your solution for the SERIAL NUMBER A AND B ?

thanks

Pierre,

We have had no issues with other cabs other than those mentioned. You can try the mod kit but I do not know what difference it would make. You might also look at your signal chain to find out if there is something in your EQ settings

I believe that the mod kit is intended to move the sound of the specified serial numbers closer to the "original" sound, as was implemented in the "A" series, which you own, and which was continued in the "B" series.

If you are happy with the sound of yours, I wouldn't worry about the mod, as there is no problem to solve.

Mike,
I always find my wizzy 10, A serie a little too middy. Even i can correct it with the equalisation of my amp (with my clarus the mid is turn at 8 or 9 and i always use a preamp to shape the mid) that absorb a lot of the power of the sound.

I think if i can correct this too mid presence, it will be easier to find my sound, especially in quiet gigs where the wizzy 10 with his weight is the winner.
i don't worry a lot about this, but it will be so more comfortable
