INTRODUCTIONS
OLD DOG IS SET to launch its patented "X-Cabinet" at
winter NAMM 2008. The X-Cabinet is exactly what its name describes: a
4xl 2 guitar speaker cabinet in the shape of an "X."
"The aggressive styling of the X-Cabinet does more than just
make you sit up and take notice," said Derrick Baird, designer of
the X-Cabinet. "The shape of the cabinet gives the baffle and back
panel added rigidity, limiting excitation. This prevents standing waves
and lets you attack the strings more rapidly without the muddy bottom
end. The tighter the cabinet, the more energy is converted into sound
pressure. This works well for many types of music, from super-clean to
the most distorted metal."
The X-Cabinet is constructed entirely of void-free Baltic birch and
loaded with Vintage 30 Celestions. It also comes standard with a patent
pending "Plug and Play" jack plate assembly, which allows
inputs at 4/16 ohm mono and 8 ohm stereo without the confusing switch.
In front of every speaker is a patent pending high frequency foam
diffuser. This innovative component filters away the annoying hiss
emanating from the speaker center. The Old Dog X-Cabinet is proudly made
in the USA.
