Red Sound Cabs/Speaker Systems

[Kebabkid]

Hi everyone,

I couldn't find a post on these and so I wanted to give you the heads up on them.

A friend of mine is now the UK distributor for these and they're designed to work with modellers *(Helix, Kemper etc) - https://www.clearsoundmusic.co.uk/

 I've heard the modellers mentioned being used with Atomic Cabs, RCFs, DRXs etc and they were ok, but I still thought there was something missing i.e. that real amp feel and response.

Well, last week, I had a full day in the studio with one of the powered cabs and a Helix, Kemper and my own guitar and bass amps on hand for comparison. I was really impressed with the sound, response, clarity and clout with both bass and guitar when we put the respective modellers through the Red Sound and it sounded like an amp and it was a different experience to when I heard them previously through the other cabs, particularly the very good DRXs. On this occasion, it sounded almost 3D-like and not directional at all and the sound dispersion is excellent. The Helix through one of these was particularly impressive.

Another friend who uses an Atomic had one brought down for his gig (theatre show with a rock band), tried it in the soundcheck for the first time and used it on the night and it sounded superb.

As it matched, and surpassed in some instances, my own bass and guitar amps, which were a Divided by 13 & 2x12,  a Fender Rumble and Roland Bass Cube 120XL (SWR Model), I might be ready to dip my toe into the World of Modelling, but not fully yet. I figure a Helix Stomp is a great place to start as I can put it on my board, integrate it and have it replacing my delay, modulation and other fx. However, it then offers an amp backup, too but also a chance for me to start trying/using it as my amp for bass and guitar and that's when the Red Sound will come into play.

Seriously, this is an impressive bit of kit where I could hear the difference from the 'rest of the herd'. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Peter at Clear Sound and mention me (Cos) and that you're from the GuitarChat

Thanks
