Members colejustesen Posted January 8, 2013 Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 So I have an itch to get a new cab... I have been scouring the local Craigslist for a good deal, but yet to find anything. I was watching a Peavey XXX cab, but it is not as wide as my Marshall head. There also is a Marshall 1936, but I have heard they aren't the best sounding cabs; and depending on where/when they were made determines whether it was MDF or birch plywood...So as I was searching I came across the Sour Mash brand and they make a 1936 knock off for what seems like a decent price. I am not wanting it loaded; as I have speakers that I will load into it.I would get one that looks like this if I did go through themDo any of you have experiences with Sour Mash? If so, what is your opinion?I also came across Seismic Audio and Studio 7, but I don't know anything about them... Whereas Sour Mash I swear I have heard/read about before.Thanks Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Van_Muddlestein Posted January 8, 2013 Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 I had a marshall style 6x12 from them for a while. It was pretty great. They make very solidly built cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look well made, but I haven't seen any pictures of them other than what is on their website. I was worried about build quality; though you have squashed any doubts!I have heard some negative feedback on the Marshall 1936 cabinet; so it makes me wonder if that negative feedback is due to the components of the cab or the shape/design. The reason I mention this is because if the shape/design is the factor I don't know if the Sour Mash would be right for me either. That being said, what I have heard of the Marshall 1936 cab on YouTube sounds good to my ears.Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 watt Posted January 8, 2013 Members Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have a Sour mash 1960 "TB" . It's basically a 1960TV, but a bottom cab, instead of an angled cab, and it's an inch or 2 deeper than a 1960TV. Gret construction. Solid sounding. Tolexed well. Sounds killer. Nice & resonant. No farts or rattles. Vintage purists / cork sniffer types would prolly frown on it, but it works great & sounds great to me. Ive gotten lots of compliments on it. My broe bought it, with a matching to cab 4 or 5 years ago. He kept the angled cab & sold me the bottom. It had Salt & Pepper cloth (kinda had a yellowish tint to it..like an Egnater cab has) that I changed out in favor for re-issue Marshall Bluesbreaker cloth. I ran the cloth vertical, instead of horizontal, to look more like a mid 60's Marshall bottom cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
