Toob Speaker Cabs

AntonHunter

Anyone have any experience with them? Especially their Metro range of 6.5" ones. All the demos sound nice on clean tones, I'm wondering how they might suit a more dirty range of tones, and I can't find any near me to try out of course.

Or, any other suggestions for speaker cabs than might be suitable for gigs/rehearsals when traveling by train? I've a recently acquired Quilter Interblock 45 and I'm wondering how miniature I can go with a cab to match it.

(I did try searching for other mentions of the Toob cabs on here, but, well, toob amps, you toob etc...)

No-one? What about in the jazz community, you seen any in the wild @Bebopper?

Never seen them before. Can't help but think they:d just been beaming the sound out . Like an airzooka

The creator of the Toob is a member of the Jazz Guitar Forum; the Metro has been reviewed and discussed there. However, nobody has talked about dirty tones, as far as I can see.

Haha, yeah, they do look odd, would love to actually try one, if only to discount it.

Aha, thanks, I might head over and lurk there a bit.

Hey @AntonHunter ;

My friend Christian Miller here in London got one last August. He did a detailed review on YouTube, in which he compares it to his Princeton:



Christian's YouTube is  and he's very active over on the jazzguitar.be forum

As Litterick wrote, the creator of Toob is also on the jazzguitar.be forum, posting as Gitterbug.\

Here are a few threads on that forum about Toob speakers:

NYC guitarist Greg Ruggiero has been a big advocate for Toob speakers and has probably tried every lightweight, portable rig option going. He has lots of videos on YouTube, such as:

Oh wow, thanks.@bebopper, I knew you'd be the person to ask. Will check all that out.

Update:

I'm now the proud owner of the Toob Metro GP (and a Quilter Superblock US too). First impressions are this thing is a lot louder than it looks. I'll do a proper NAD thread when I've played with it a bit more, but so far I'm intending to take it on the train for a gig early April. Taking my amp on the train! What's the world coming to?!
