Cabinets (passive)

Whether intended for electro-acoustic guitars, hollow-body guitars, or solid-body guitars, best results are always obtained with a 12" (31cm) speaker. Either our Creamlite12, Double Cream, and Heavy12 models for electric guitars, and Acoustic Master for electro-acoustic guitars, are considered our reference cabinets.

 

Additionally, there is space for many compromises between the mini “nomadic” 05GC100 cabinets and previously mentioned reference cabs loaded with 12" speakers.

 

Our cabinets loaded with 8" (20cm) and 10" (26cm) speakers form a very interesting alternative when looking for more compact and lightweight gear.

 

The 08GC15 cabinet was primarily developed as a compact solution for use with our GSS Tube Sandwich mini tube amp head. Often, the sound quality of cabinets with moderate-sized speakers is hampered by selecting a speaker with too high a power rating, which leads to compromises in design, particularly when selecting a speaker with a too large moving coil size, thrus sacrifying sound definition and high-frequency extension. The 8" loudspeaker we have selected for the 08GC15 cab was  purposely choosen with a moderate power rating to better match the sound of our "big" 12" cabinets. It pairs perfectly with our Tube Sandwich amp head and other low-power heads, whether tube based mini-heads like Palmer's Einstein or Orange's Micro Terror or transistor based mini-heads like Hotone's Nano or Mooer's Little Tank.

 

The GSS 08GC200 cabinet strikes a balance, offering a very high power rating for its size. It was designed as a complement to the GSS 05G200SJC Jazz Cat and Krazy Cat mini combos, boosting both the efficiency and the level of bass of these mini combos'  small 5" speakers.

 

The GSS Mighty10 cabinet has a more balanced presentation, similar to the sound of the 12" speaker of our GSS Creamlite12' cab, with a high efficiency allowing  a higher acoustic power for the same electrical power output coming out of the amplifier head.

 

For very small jazz bands (duos or trios), the 08GC200 might be ideal if you're looking for a smooth sound with slightly recessed highs.

 

For much larger bands with a brass section, an electric bass player, and/or a loud drummer, the Mighty10 would be more suitable in terms of spectral balance and acoustic power to “cut through the mix”.
