I agree with Hywel and can’t add more than that.
New OTS is like a new leather glove, you have to wear it a lot and adjust, stretch, etc.
It is extremely tweakable ! which is great, I strongly believe that every player should tweak it to their style and it will become part of you.
Especially when you can tweak.
Be cool.

This cab is my favourite so far – compact, powerful, tone rich and sturdy.



Here are the sound samples of the two built in mic capsules, one is on and another is off axis. Best result is when both are recorded (PA-ed) together.



1. Off axis sample followed by same phrase on axis.

2. Simultaneous recording with both mics slightly paned left and right.

I hope it sounds great too.

Telecaster, Dumble and skilful hands, what can be better.

Hi Mcinku,
Hywel is correct, I use 10mm thick acoustic foam from this company http://www.efoam.co.uk/Sacoustic.php
I’ve used cheap badminton racket head to glue foam circle inside the frame and attached it to guitar stand. I can move it in different position to get the “perfect” tone.

Exocet,
Adam Hall sells this stands in UK

You can attach metallic angles for wall shelving to the lower front legs of the stand, that’s it.
Cheers

I’ve bought it on eBay for £22.
It was already modified for amp down, cab up version.




Later I’ve reversed it for more compact application.

Hi Hywel,

I’ve tried it in ordinary combo and you are right, it reduced high frequency a bit. Also it changed speaker’s directivity for better, more spread of even frequencies, but it did not worked in my cabinets because my cabs baffles are recessed about 5,9cm from the front grill to place the microphone capsule.
That’s why I’m using same high frequency absorbing acoustic foam 10’’ circle attached to a guitar stand. Best position is 15 - 25cm exactly in front of the speaker. In this way it allows player to hear almost unaffected tone but stops nasty ice pick and fizz (not much anyway in nice OTS amps). Same time inside microphone picks up unaffected sound and sends it to the PA.

Pleasant idea, especially if you can use it frequently!

Emiel, problem with the Weber’s beam blocker (more precisely – the beam diffuser!!!) is that it does not work at all. I guess you are not familiar with Mr. Jay Mitchell’s pretty large post about speaker directivity http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=470956&highlight=speaker+directivity

Please read it carefully, you’ll love it.
Cheers

Absolutely!!!
Beam blocker size depends which beam you want to block and from where.
 

You’ve got it straight in the root my friend !!!
That’s what a beam blocker does – eliminates transitional time period between head and cab setup on the stand. And this trick has tremendous artistic effect on the listener/viewer.
Must have for all D style amp owners and trick lovers.
Are you ready to order one or two?

Here is a video sample



and here is some info about amp & cab stand and beam blocker.



Cheers

What? Tele? Oh noooo!!!
Never liked Tele till recently I’ve built one and now I can’t play anything else, Just LOVE it. But I guess it’s only looks like Tele otherwise it has noiseless strat pickup in the neck and super humbucker in the bridge with a coil tap for single coil Tele sound.



And here is a true Tele jam with my new love.
