Woo-Hoo! Some of you may know that I finally managed to sell my Matamp cab to a lovely young chap called Mark. and I departed on the sea of what the hell to get. I thought about a marshal cab for about 2 seconds, do I look for another matamp, in the end I'd heard a lot about Zilla cab, so after a chat with Paul there I decided to take the plunge & do it. I ordered from him a tall vintage. Then I had the problem with the speakers,do I go with V30's again (err no). SO I had been annoying our very own JPFamps regarding Taydens. Dived in with Franks suggestion of the M & H (i.e. a retro & a true brit), Frank & Paul were good enough to speak with each other & put everything together. After much biting of nails it has just arrived

mmmm tasty!

I haven't had chance to try it yet (family...neighbours etc), but I thought I'd take some snaps




Initial impressions...good. The cab is well put together, definitely not coming  apart, not upto the standard of being overly built (like the Matamp) but exceptional. It's a lot thinner than I expected, but still takes the heads OK. Neat work & the side carry handles are spot on, nothing that can rip your palms to shreds like the matamp ones.

Got a practice with the new band on thursday so will report back how it sounds with the new setup

It looks like it should be an amp in it's own rights.

I had a Zilla cab many years ago, it's sounded great and felt very made. It did look a bit DIY on the inside though.. Let us know how your getting on with it, and the speakers, i always like trying new speakers  8)

Well the practice went well, couple of problems (cables, pedals not connecting), but the cab sounded ace! The sounded worked well & seemed to project out well. The Taydens are definitely something that gives a well rounded sound not to dis-similar to the celestion match up that a few on here like (the M & the H). Overall...job well done
