Specialist AVD guitar cab customisations

We have some cool new customisations available for our AVD guitar cabs and here's where to add them to the cart.

1. Dual AVD for Radical / Usurper / Upsizing. The standard versions have a single AVD behind the full-range or top driver - this gives them a fatter sound and wider dispersion for better audibility. The Dual AVD customisation gets you an AVD behind both speakers. We recommend this customisation if you want a stereo wired cab, so both the left and right speakers benefit from an AVD. We also recommend this if you're having two different speakers within your cab and want to hear the full-range tone from both.

2. Single AVD for Uprising. The standard Uprising has a dual (full-height) AVD behind both drivers. If you'd like a thicker fatter sound more like the Radical but in a vertical format then we can customise the Uprising by building a single AVD version with a secondary tuned port. This is also available for the Mutiny for a sound more like the Usurper but vertical. We no longer make lower-tuned versions of the Radical or the single AVD Uprising as we've found it's more effective for customers to plug the port when they need to, so the same cab can do both tunings.

3. Stereo (Bi-Amp) / Mono Switchable wiring. This replaces our standard modular backplate with a custom version that's switchable between Stereo and Mono whilst still retaining the switchable Low-Cut filters. This can be fitted to any dual driver guitar cab, i.e. a 2x10" or 2x12" model. Obviously a vertical cab won't be "stereo" because the speakers aren't side-by-side, hence the bi-amp alternate designation. When in stereo, each half is obviously the impedance of each individual driver. When in mono the drivers are in parallel so the total impedance halved, not doubled (two 8 ohm drivers each in stereo or a 4 ohm pair in mono - or two 16 ohm drivers separately in stereo or an 8 ohm pair in mono). Whatever cab impedance you choose, you'll get the individual speaker impedance you specify and then this custom wiring. Please email if this isn't clear!

4. Divided enclosure for any guitar cab with two speakers (apart from single AVD Usurper). This version replaces the central brace with a solid panel to acoustically separate the two drivers internally. We only recommend this if you're looking to use very different drivers and bi-amp the cab with very different signals going to each driver.

5. Adaptor plate for 12" / 15" conversion. This can only be used on any of our cabs that will take a 15" driver - that's the Radical and the Upsizing. If you choose this customisation we will cut the baffle to fit a 15" driver; if you order a 15" driver then we will fit that driver and supply the 15-12 adaptor plate separately in case you want to retrofit a 12" driver; if you order a 12" driver then we will fit the adaptor plate and the 12" driver. The Upsizing can be a 2x12, 1215 (12" on top , 15" on the bottom) or a 2x15. Add two adaptor plates if you want to be able to turn the 2x15 into a 1215 or a 2x12.

6. Adaptor plate for 10" / 12" conversion. This can be used on any of our 12" cabs. If you choose this customisation we will cut the baffle to fit a 12" driver; if you order a 12" driver then we will fit that driver and supply the 12-10 adaptor plate separately in case you want to retrofit a 10" driver; if you order a 10" driver then we will fit the adaptor plate and the 10" driver. Add two adaptor plates if you want to be able to turn a 2x12 into a 1012 or a 2x10.

7. Upsizing 212BB (or 1215BB if a 15" driver is added too). Bass/Baritone hybrid Upsizing. Divided enclosure with extra volume for the bottom half borrowed from top half. Dual extra-large ports.

8. Reality 212FRV. Upgrade from an Uprising to a hybrid design based on the single AVD Uprising, with the same coax driver and crossover and rear-firing tweeter as the Reality 112FR plus a BN12-300S as the lower driver, and a second input plate so you can link the lower speaker in parallel, or biamp the cab, and you can use the low-cut filter independently on the lower speaker.

9. Reality 1215FRX. Upgrade from Upsizing to a hybrid design based on the 1215BB version of the Bass/Baritone hybrid, with the same 12" coax driver and crossover and rear-firing tweeter as the Reality 112FR plus a BN15-400X as the lower driver, and a second input plate so you can link the lower speaker in parallel, or biamp the cab, and you can use the low-cut filter independently on the lower speaker.
