Port City OS wave cabs?

mrkb

I’m after a great sounding large 1x12 cab for a Celestion creamback and research (google) has brought me to checking out the port city OS cabs.

has anyone played one? What were yout thoughts?  Does the port technology work well in keeping good low end balance? Any similar cabs worth checking out?

cheers.

Zilla do a ported 1x12 which they've designed around a Creamback H.

+1 on the Zilla Ported.  I have a MX5 (yes not the best for carting gear around) so I needed something that would fit in the front passenger seat.  It has a big sound for a small cab, way more bottom end than you would imagine.

I have a 2x12 and it’s amazing. The port isn’t for everyone though as it can over extend the bass end. What amp do you have?

I have a 1x12 OS that I've used with function bands for years...  GREAT build quality.  Recessed handle location is really well thought out, easy to load.  Definitely has plenty of low end and sounds bigger than a typical 1x12.  I would agree, can get quite bass-heavy if you don't dial a bit out on the amp.  I'd say less directional than a traditional closed-back as the port does fire up at your ears if you're standing in front of it, but still closed back so wouldn't have the dispersal of one of the Barefaced cabs I'd imagine.

Cheers, that’s the one I’ve been looking at.
