EA CXL-110 still in production?

I'll contact EA for you. Mike Dimin may chime in before then.

I should know the answer to that question.

 

IIRC, I think it's been said somewhere else that they quit making them. (AH) Bob G. was offering the inventory he had left. (Might have been AH, but I don't want to speak for him.)

 

Discontinued 2 years ago but parts are still available.

 

If you're thinking EA, a lotta folks have been raving about the Wizzy. Maybe some will chime in. I'm currently suffering from an acute case of plankitis, so not of much help finding a DB cabinet based on experience.

 

I sold my last new stock about three months ago, though did score one refurb since then. EA hasn't notified me of any others since, so they may be off the radar completely now.

 

I would strongly recommend that you check out either the Wizzy or the NL-210.

Tom.

 

I have both a NL-210 and a CX-112L cab.

As far as a stand alone, I think the NL 210 is the better cab whether you are playing upright or slab.

The cabs sound great together IMO. I played my slab with this combination one night and it was slammin'!

 

Phil, if you have an opportunity to demo the Wizzy, or if you are willing to try it and send it back if you don't like it, then you might wanna check it out. Based on my experience, I think it could perhaps meet your criteria well (versatility, doubling, smaller and less expensive than the NL-210).

I don't like "nasally" tone (does anybody?), but that's not what I hear with my Wizzy at all. However this might vary depending on the pickup you're using for upright, and perhaps the preamp (if applicable).

The Wizzy does have a strong mid-range presence that helps cut through the mix, but to my ears it does so in a musical way. And now that my ears are accustomed to that mid-range presence, I miss it when I use other amps.

I'll bet the NL-210 is a fantastic sounding cab as well, although I have not used one myself.

BTW, Tom Bowlus would be a great resource to compare and contrast all 3 EA cabs currently available new: the Wizzy, the NL-210, and the CXL-112L. He probably already has, and more than once actually.

 

Here's one thread to check out.

Phil,

Congrats on your bouncing baby Wizzy. Look forward to hearing all about the cab.

Tom thanks for those links.

 

No problem! I should point out, though, that after using the NL-210 a good bit more and putting it through its paces, I am even more impressed with the NL-210 than I was when I wrote those earlier posts. Truth!

Tom.

 

Congrats Phil! The Wizzy can put out such a nice, velvety warm sound under the right conditions.

Let us know how you make out with yours.
