Musikmesse 2015: BluGuitar unveils new line of guitar cabs
The BluGuitar NANOCAB and the BluGuitar FATCAB are the perfect complement to the BluGuitar AMP1 guitar amplifier – experience them live with Thomas Blug on the AGORA Stage, twice a day – and properly – loud in the BluGuitar Rockmobil AG 02, and quietly in the exhibition hall at stand 4.0 H16.
BluGuitar presents the new BluGuitar guitar cabs at Musikmesse Frankfurt from 15 to 18 April 2015.
BluGuitar FATCAB 1 x 12″ guitar cab
The FATCAB achieves what previously seemed impossible: it sounds and feels like a classic 4×12″ cab. Fat bass with fast response, a creamy midrange, plus smooth, silky highs. Perfect for clubs and medium-sized stages. The BluGuitar FATCAB is the result of Thomas Blug’s many years of experiments to bring the sonic character of the classic 4×12″ guitar cab into the more compact 1×12″ format, and it has proven itself on small to medium-sized stages for years: since the FATCAB has only one speaker, the speaker is driven into its optimum operating range much sooner, which makes the tone very lively. The Thiele bass reflex system and the tightly interlocked, heavily braced cabinet ensure defined, dynamic bass response with deep lows – the kind you would otherwise only know from a big 4×12″. And that even at low volumes. At high volumes, too, the cab stays balanced and never booms. The cabinet volume also adds an extra helping of low mids. The speaker itself delivers a harmonious midrange and smooth highs, made even silkier by the filtering effect of the thick basket weave grille cloth.
BluGuitar NANOCAB 1x 12″ guitar cab
The BluGuitar NANOCAB is the smallest 1×12″ cab with the biggest possible tone – an absolutely unique benchmark among compact cabinets.
Inspired by the outstanding performance of the FATCAB, Thomas Blug set himself the task of developing an even more compact, yet great-sounding cab to match the BluGuitar AMP1.
Only a 12″ speaker would do, since 10″ speakers lack the low-mid foundation. On this basis, he experimented with cabinet depth, various bass reflex designs and tunings. The closed-back cabinet design delivers the optimum punch for rock sounds, but the NANOCAB also has a cabinet opening that you can open or close yourself in a few simple steps, depending on taste. For more tonal warmth, the speaker is rear-mounted on the baffle and a basket weave grille cloth was chosen.
From clean through crunch to high gain, whether jazz, blues or rock – the combination of NANOCAB and AMP1 simply sounds perfect! Thanks to its bass reflex tuning, the NANOCAB has a really big tone with unexpectedly deep bass. NANOCAB is also the perfect cab for the living room, as it sounds balanced and full even at low volume. NANOCAB fits in a suitcase and can even be carried on the train or on a motorbike.
Prices and availability
BluGuitar NANOCAB and BluGuitar FATCAB will be available from specialist dealers from September, priced at €449 for the NANOCAB and €559 for the FATCAB.
