Knappenberger Custom Shop 2x12 Cream Tolex/Cane Grill Guitar Cabinet

Hi, I am looking to have a 112 Fender style extension cab made to go under a Hot Rod Deluxe III Red October. Is that something you can do?

Dude dropping by to let you know how much I love the ported/tunned 4/12 you made me I'm the only person on the planet with a 4/12 with this bass and clarity thanks again

This is fantastic and a friend of mine who is an amazing guitarist is wondering how much your isolation boxes go for.

@emptycorp Thank you, I haven't been manufacturing any isolation cabinets in the last year. In this time I have been pouring a ton of research and development into my isolation cabinet line to make them as flawless as possible. You'll see a lot of new things from me soon.

@jjlwis Thanks. 100% Baltic Birch "voidless" plywood. No home depot Chinese crap in these :) (by the way the home depot "birch" plywood doesn't have a lick of hardwood in it!)

@killersoundz i guess there solution is to throw more glue at it? haha

[adrianslilmusic]

does the size of cab affects the sound!?

[killersoundz]

@adrianslilmusic Yes, talking about standard closed backs, a small cab will have a midbass boost around 120-400hz with a quick and steep bass rolloff while a larger cab will have a smoother midbass with deeper bass extension (a slower bass rolloff), which would be better for recording. This is general as it varies depending on the specific speaker parameters. Internal resonance (standing resonance) based on the dimensions also has a notable impact on tone as well as many other factors.

[killersoundz]

@adrianslilmusic There are trade offs with those rules as well. A speaker in a smaller sealed cabinet will handle more power and have less breakup but sound warmer. A speaker in a larger sealed cabinet will handle less power with more breakup and will close-mic better as it sounds more natural. I worded these to be as relative to guitar cabinets as possible but they are rules borrowed from pro-audio. The power handling differences between cabinet sizes for guitar speakers is not very important.

@adrianslilmusic Need to take it down a notch and say while these *are* differences they are hardly relevant. My suggestion is for live use, save your back and go small, for recording get a bigger cabinet. The less midbass hump the cabinet has the less EQ'ing you will have to do to compensate for proximity effect, it will tend to sound more natural and you will have more satisfactory results, sooner. :) Hope I answered your question well enough. -Alex
