Members Dolf Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Billy and I owned a couple of the first 6x12s he ever built. Gat damn, the {censored}ers were nasty good. 3/4" ply all around (including the baffle), excellent bracing, overbuilt like crazy. I only sold mine to have him build me the two 2x12s that I'm currently using. He makes great stuff and you can load it with whatever you want. And those 6x12s were some of the first cabs he EVER built. Way before he had nearly the amount of custom options/pinstriping/binding/stains/etc that he has now.

Members Dolf Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 The difference being, Brandon's (Aftershock) prices are VERY reasonable compared to anything else in the "fully custom cab" market. Amazingly reasonable.I'm not a fan of the LED gimmick, but the fact that it's an option is cool. It's not like you have to order your cab that way. Nobody else is doing that EDIT: I shot him a text to see if I can get some high quality interior shots for you guys of his cabs and building process. I'll post them when I have 'em.

Members Dolf Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, he built the 6x12s to Orange specs, only bigger. In terms of sound projection and feel, they were startlingly similar to Billy's Orange 4x12, but obviously sounded quite different due to the speaker compliment. Somewhat directional, but HUGE sounding. We also had a center divider going straight down the cabs, basically turning them into double 3x12s. It added weight, but also made them very punchy for such an enormous cab.In terms of durability? Well {censored}, man. Those things went all over the country, played a couple hundred shows and held up like champs. Had to replace the casters a couple times due to the sheer weight of the cabs grinding them down to nubs but that's to be expected.Billy's tolex held up better than mine because his was done in black mesa style, while mine was in white orange style and anybody will tell you, that textured tolex orange uses shreds pretty easily.In terms of price vs sound and available options I don't think there's a better choice out there The guitars on the unreleased EP we did was with his cabs.

I won't go through him again because next go around I'm going back to Orange 4x12's but that isn't a reflection on his quality that is a personal decision based on preferences and loyalty to a brand that has treated me like a golden god for no apparent reason.
