This culminated in several acclaimed designs, including what would become Komet's flagship amplifier: the Komet 60. [1] In his final years, Ken Fischer would collaborate with Dr. Z Amplification on the, "Z-Wreck." The Z-Wreck is a Vox AC30-style amp that was originally made for country guitar player, Brad Paisley. Fischer's final design, the ...
The classic Hammond sound benefits from the use of free-standing loudspeakers called tone cabinets. The sound is often further enhanced by rotating speaker units, usually manufactured by Leslie. The Hammond Organ was widely adopted in popular genres such as jazz, gospel, pop music, and rock music.
Enclosures can have a significant effect beyond what was intended, with panel resonances, diffraction from cabinet edges [6] [7] and standing wave energy from internal reflection/reinforcement modes being among the possible problems. Bothersome resonances can be reduced by increasing enclosure mass or rigidity, by increasing the damping of ...
This model soon became the SM-400. SWR then pursued development of a speaker cabinet to accompany its amps. In 1986, SWR released the Goliath, a 4 x 10" full-range speaker cabinet with a built-in horn tweeter, a first for bass cabinets. The company's name was changed to SWR Sound Corporation on 1 December 1997 as part of a restructuring plan.
As of 2017, Dumble still built and serviced amplifiers for mainly prominent recording artists. However, if someone were to purchase a used amplifier, Dumble offered free servicing. In his older age, he only produced about five to ten amps per year. He loved to build his Ultraphonix and Rockphonix amps into Fender and Marshall chassis.
At the age of 18, Dave Friedman moved from his native Detroit, Michigan, to Los Angeles, where he worked at a store renting high-end instruments to studio musicians. [1] [2] While there, a customer brought in a Soldano SLO 100 modified by Bruce Egnater of Egnater Amplification; an impressed Friedman contacted Egnater about creating a new preamp, which became popular with local studio musicians ...
This includes bass amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, power amps, bass pedals, and bass cabinets. Its most famous series of products include World Tour Amplifiers and D-series Cabinets. Eden's reputation was founded on the fact that everything was designed and built "in-house", including the speakers (a very rare feat by any manufacturer).
Many cabinets contain parallel input/outputs on the rear panel, so that one speaker cab can be plugged into the amp head, and then a second cabinet can be plugged into the first cabinet; as this "daisy-chaining" approach is wired in parallel, plugging in a second cabinet lowers the impedance seen by the amplifier. Cabinets typically have an ...
