Aluminum Guitar Cabinets?

[@kongandbasses8732]

For the case of dustcaps pushed in, l recommend using a vacuum cleaner to suck it out again. Use the hose without any adapter and start with a low vacuum. Increase the power until the dustcap pops out again. Had to do this every time my kids, who were toddlers then, came across my SWR cabs. Those toddler fingers are small enough to go into the stretch metal speaker cover. Small children will use any tool to do what they think is a good idea - until they are ready with destruction.

[@LoreAccurateHusky]

In that case, you can just refer to Doom as "Slow Tide".

I like the G12k-100. I have tried them in a few combinations with V30s, WGS Retro 30s, and passive radiators. The mids of the V30 style voicing with the bassier higher power handling G12k seem to work well.

[@UnearthlyViking]

At first it sounded like there was a thick blanket covering the cabinet. After taking the back out it started to roar. Awesome, I never thought about using anything but wood for a cab's construction, this opens up a lot more possibilities.

[@electricmeatpuppet]

For a real brutal metal tone be sure to use the bodies of your enemies, just be careful with the high end, it can get a little bloody, especially if you shove the speaker in their still screaming face. Metal \m/

He's not kidding about surf not being that far off from metal. Just check out Anthrax's cover of Pipeline. It really fits.

I would have loved to hear it with reverb and tremolo. I bet the open feature would make that sound pretty great in the room

Sick looking guitar glen

[@kongandbasses8732]

Why not aluminium cabs? They made HiFi and guitar cabs out of poured concrete to have the pure tone of the speakers and no resonance or tone of the housing. And to have maximum floor coupling. I have heard that some studios have one, and the tone is great.

[@Swampster70]

Glenn, talking of small amps. Lead tone: I've had a discussion with the lads in our band about then fact that I prefer a lower wattage amp (Mesa 5:25 or Marshall 50 watt Super Lead) cranked on the Master Volume and pre-amp gain a little lower Vs a bigger amp with the Master Volume turned down but pre-amp turned up for lead guitar tones. I dig the old school Michael Schenker and Yngwie tones for lead work. The compression that seems to happen when the power tubes are made to work for their money makes the lead tones sing, IMHO. What do you think?

[@daveethridge7342]

My favorite surf rock band is Man Or Astroman. I actually partied with them back in 1998.

Hi Ryan, where in the world are you in the world.

[@sargetparrot]

i liked the tone better with the back on the cab. sounded a bit tighter to me.

[@Khunvyel]

Would be nice to have some of the playing samples played through the room microphone :) In any event, it's interesting how Glenn said that the bass should come out more when the back of the cabinet was removed, when the opposite happened in the mic'd up audio. The flubbyness was gone and the guitar was able to cut through nice and even. Even more proof for the pudding that the cabinet has a far more significant effect to the guitar sound than many gearheads seem to think :D

[@PaulBell88]

Good to see you on here Ryan! We gonna shoot any more piano demos? Ha!

[@LoreAccurateHusky]

I'm very interested and I want to see a future demo of this in your own studio. I'd love to really get a sense of the tones you can get with that cab and if the metal construction has a noticeable effect on the tone. Also, I'm curious about all the specs and features since their website for the cab really doesn't say or show much. I would love to see these questions addressed in a future demo!

[@scottdixoninc.4317]

@@60CycleHumcast lol I'm subbed! I was sold when I seen the kazoo plugged into guitar pedals!

[@JosephGorbach]

Kind of off topic. But I was looking around in reverb for a flanger pedal. Originally I'm looking for a substitute for the ada flanger. Greatest flanger in my opinion but just so expensive. Anyways I came across a line 6 liqua flange. Now I know line 6 doesn't exactly have the best history of equipment. But from the looks of the features of this pedal, this actually looks promising. Would you be able to in any way review this in the future?

[@Mtaalas]

Expectedly, there's less bass (or more mids/treble) with back off... obviously it's acoustically different so it'll interact with the room differently so it might not sound the same on mic that it does in the room...

[@scottdixoninc.4317]

Hi Mtaalas, when you here it on a computer the sound will be different but Glen was demoing the Cab and i was there at the same time, and it did sound as he said. if you need any more information please contact me via the Website John

[@stereoroid]

Interesting ... they do bass cabs too, and they're based in the UK so shipping to me in Ireland wouldn't be insane ... but you have to contact them for pricing, which is code for "you can't afford this"!

[@helgijonsson3537]

I don't know, sounds pretty fizzy to me. But it might have to do with the amp settings, the micing and a whole lot of other factors. But it's cool to have a small cabinet like this!

[@autobotsNdecepticons]

The fizz is likely because of the Hughes and Kettner. They're known for it. Probably they did all their development on passive pickups. They sound better with those.

[@uwebaganz5144]

Thank good for aluminum and neodymium magnets

[@christopherwoods6]

Blackbacks and 65 watt Celestions, Emminence EM-12,(EV clone). If you are looking for other speakers.

[@AMSOfficial79]

Not new... I had one back in 2006 an 2007. Was basically a cab that was a flight case. Sounded... different... but I got rid of it. Was made of aircraft-grade aluminum. Had a front and back cover that attached like rackmount box covers - much sturdier than the one you presented today.

[@tylerascatigno94]

Can we get an update on the gate pedals? I want mineee already dudeeee

[@AliJr_MetalGames_MetalGuitar]

Another nail in the coffin for Tonewood. That thing is an eargasm even with my phone speakers.

[@skatterpro]

... So you're saying that material makes a difference, and that somehow disproves that material makes a difference? People have misunderstood the tone-wood debate forever - There is no objective 'better'. There are no magic wood slabs that make your guitar sound better. Brands selling you specially cured woods are selling you snakeoil. That there is a difference in sound between two equally cut slabs of wood is hardly controversial though.

[@AliJr_MetalGames_MetalGuitar]

@@skatterpro not that, but the aluminum cab here was very light unlike Glenn's Engl cab. The thing I hate most about tonewood is that it's effect on tone is not worth trashing forests.

Glenn: if you're digging doom and looking for a new sound to mic, Eminence neo 112/115 cabs made by Tyrant are just beyond brutal.

[@pitaorj]

Glenn, you should try the neo celestion century vintage, only weights 1.7kg , sounds like amazing with 5150s.

[@scottdixoninc.4317]

Hi Filipe the Copper Backs are 250watts each and the G12 Vintage and Vintage 30 speakers 60 Watts each the difference in weight between the two of the is negligible hope this helps John

[@pitaorj]

@@scottdixoninc.4317 ok, but if you use two of them in a 2x12 with a 50w amp there's no issue at all. 250w is more than enough for my marshall major, but I really don't use it at all. despite being 250w the copperbacks are rated at 100db just as the V30s, the CVs are 98dbs. so I don't see how the power rating would be the reason to choose a copperback, tone qualities I can accept because that's personal.

[@rowlandstraylight]

Gotoh hardware the AZ, if it's a prestige it's a titanium saddle wonder and very nice indeed. Maybe 4x the price of Wilkinson hardware for an end user to buy. But Wilkinson hardware is made by gotoh...

Glenn, you may want to check out Scott Dixon’s reviews and FB page comments; It seems like he’s scamming customers, or just not communicating during extremely long order delays (some people are complaining that they haven’t received orders from over a year ago.). He does however seem to have the bandwidth to send out demo units or units to his personal associates. I know (or think at least) you’re reviewing the idea of aluminum cabs, but the mention of Scott Dixon may end in some poor experiences for people watching your channel.

[@keithpartridge7147]

My friend had one of these at his place recently. It sounded god awful compared to the other cabs he had there. Really harsh and no bottom end compared to other cabs we tried. We had to flip the cab upside down to access the latch to take the the front cover off?! Then we needed to get a screwdriver to wedge the front off before we could use it. Fail.
