Has anyone here ever owned or played through some of the custom cabs like Emperor or Atlas? I currently play a Engl Powerball through a Mesa 4x12, and with my sludge side project, I have the volume at 10 just to hear myself over the bassist (yes, I use earplugs
). Anyway, I've wanted to get a new cab for years, I was totally in love with the Orange cabs, until my bassist showed me Emperor cabs out of Chicago a couple years back.
It's looking like I'll have the money to buy a nice custom cab in January or February, and I've got my eyes on a 6x12 for a little more volume.![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
Living in Minneapolis, I really can't just test out Emperor out of Chicago, or Atlas from Boulder. Anyone played any of these, or other, custom cab companies? I've got a real hard on for the shit that those 2 companies do, but I'd be open to other suggestions. Check out the links here if you want to drool a bit...

I'm probably leaning towards Emperor at the moment...even though they're a little more expensive for the cab, it's easier for me to drive to Chicago than Boulder to save on the shipping costs...and I'd rather spend money on the cab than on shipping. Oh, and my bassist is going to get a matching bass cab as well. We're thinking Red Mahogany with the Wheat grill.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
