This is my cab. It's light and it's sounds HUGE.
You will not go wrong with Earcandy. I know it's hard to believe so much good praise but it's warranted in this case.
Features: Made in '05. They are all custom made to your specs but my particular Bomb featured two 12 inch speakers with a handling of 950 watts. The speakers I chose, with Tim's help, were the Eminence Delta 12LF, (500Watts)alone, and the Kappa Pro, (450Watts itself). LOUD. Yes loud is a feature of this cabinet. Locking quarter inch imput.
As many features as you want, can't go wrong with that...
Sound Quality: If you like the sound of a cab without a horn then this IS your cabinet. Don't get me wrong the Eminence Kappa has loads of warm highs so it definitely is not muddy.
I've put off doing this review cause I wanted to get to know her a bit so as to give it a true review. Now that I've gigged with her and practiced in the studio I can truely say that she will put out what is put in. At first I had some trouble finding my sound but that was all on my end. My Lakland sounded a bit thin and I've gone through an Acme 410 and this thinking that the cabs didn't have the punch I was looking for. I've recently fixed this problem and the cabinet trully is smiling at me for it.
The sound is very tight and handle a ton. I went from two Ampeg 810's to this by itself. Sure the 2 810's were louder but for my needs the cab is HUGE.
It has huge hard hitting bass, no crackley highs, just smooth warm well rounded bass with lots of projection and punch.
Again the lack of a horn is not for everyone but if you really want huge bottom end and the highs buy one from Tim and put a good Horn in yourself. ; )
Reliability/Durability: You've heard it before and I'll say it again, these things are built like tanks. Absoluty no Farting out or cab rumble, EVER...
Earcandy cabs are made by hand by skilled craftsmen with REAL woods. Not pressboard. If you think you like the way your cheap piece of cardboard sounds you've never played through a real cab.
Do yourself a favor and at least try to find one on E-bay, if you can... instead of playing the cheap stuff.
Customer Support: I think there is a lifetime warranty, not that you'll need it. No better than that can you do.
Tim is absolute BEST when it comes to P.R. You can go wrong with him. His good people skills are what actually attracted me to his cabs. I asked him about his product and he stood behind it so much that I had to order one.
