What do you guys think of this? It seems like a pretty good price, but there are only heavier distorted recordings. I'd like to hear a clean and semi-distorted recording.

From lookin at the Spec's, ala 16 lb's and whata ya get, just another Brake with a Different name, I tried the Mashall made one years ago and did'nt like it, It also seemed to make my amp run hotter, it could be a different design and I may be wrong, but judgeing by the wieght, it's probably another Brake.

No, from what I gather it's an isolation cabinet. So there's a driver inside plus a mic. At least that's what I believe it is.

If it is what I think, that's a very fair price.

Looks pretty cool.  The thing I don't like is it doesn't seem to give you an option of switching out speakers.  Like one day I may wanna use a Jensen gold label the next day I may wanna use a greenback, the next day I may wanna use a Fane etc..   also one day I may wanna use  Shure SM57, the next a MK319 (or Neumann U87, their the same) or the next day a ribbon mic etc etc..

I still think the Randall Iso cab gives you more directions to go to.  But for the money that thing is a sweet deal!  Nice price indeed.  :D

Only $425 With a Vintage 30 Celestion :D

It has to be --fear of copycats at work.
It is a fair price --if you're happy with the choice of driver, mic, and mic-placement. The Randall looks like a more versatile (and much larger) setup.  Why don't you email the guy.
