Anyone tried EBS CLASSIC 410?

"It was probably the fafner. A lot of people think it's all tube!"

How come? Does they sound like tube amps. I have never tryed EBS amps, but I use their pro line 212 cab and likes it a lot. i Use it with an ampeg amp (mossfet solid state) maybe i should check ebs amps out to...

By the way nice to se so many europeans on this thread ;)
 
The Fafner is a good amp and one of the coolest looking out there. And it`s definetly hotter than the SVT3. But you also might have a look at Aguilar DB750, Eden and Ashdown stuff if you are after a more tube-like sound
 
i was having a chat with thier U.K importer (who's name i can't quite remember) at the london guitar show this year.

he showed me it with a fafner and it was like a super ampeg or something, very rocky if you get what i mean.

i was surprised at how vintage sounding they are.

it wasnt really my cup of tea, i would rather take a neo over one of those, but that is me personally

just as an abservation it seems that a lot of the bigger amp names are releasing these "vintage" cabs, is it some nostalgia that i am too young to understand or just a different direction?

I just think it is a tone thing - alot of the tube heads are prized for their vintage tone, so it only makes sense to offer a range of cabs to satisfy this market... some people are looking for a modern sound, and others are looking for vintage. 2 different markets, 2 different buyers...


yeah i guess you are right, there is definetely two very different schools of thought on tone out there.

by the way i didnt say how well made these cabs are before, they are exquisite.

Hi good people, I have this new EBS 410 "classic line "
It is a good sounding cabinet. It has a full bodied warm sound, a little vintage in its caracter I would say. This is complimented in the way it looks, very cool vintage looks. Nice thick black tolex, metal corners, very nice cup handles, wheels. The grille fabric is a liiiittle cheasy looking, but what the heck... Only thing that bothers me a bit, is that it might not be as loud as my 2 ampeg svt-210he´s stacked.
I have not gig´ed with the cabinet yet, and that´s where the real test is coming up. It is suposed to be 32 Kg heavy, but my feeling is that it is heavyer than that. I drive it with a Fender P and GK 1001RB-II , and the cab is 4 ohms. It can take all the power from the amp, full volume, but as mentioned earlier it is really not that loud.
