Dirty Shirley Mini Cab - 65-watt 1x12" Closed-back Extension Cabinet Review

Evh LBX paired with awesome dirty Shirley cab

Awesome cab! Paired it with an EVH LBX 15 watt head. The clarity across frequencies along with the bass response of this cab is great. Huge sounding!

Excellent Mini Cab

This is a solidly, and meticulously, built cabinet -- I'm sure it will withstand a lot of abuse. It's easy to move around single handedly (I'm not a big guy, so this will probably be easier for most of you), but deceptively heavy for its size. I used it paired with a Dirty Shirley Mini head; and for guitars an SG standard and LP Custom. The Creamback speaker is exceptional:… read more crystal clear and full-bodied even when nearly maxing out the matching DS head. I gave it a 4.5 instead of a 5 because it's a closed back ported design, which I finds kind of exaggerates the lows on my SG to the point where I have to reduce the bass on the head down to 1 (2.5 with the Les Paul). It probably would pair very well with a Fender or LPj with a P90. I could never move the bass up to 5 like the Friedman literature says to start off at to get the "Friedman sound." This isn't a big deal and lifting it off the floor helps a bit, but I can't help but think that a vented design would have reduced some of the bass accentuation (and taken a couple pounds off the weight)
