Euphonic Audio Wizzy cabinet

Features? Its a cabinet. A single 10" speaker with a combined tweeter. This is a 4 ohm cabinet.

I've been playing bass for 28 years now, and for the last 12 I've been using EA equipment exclusively. I had this paired with EA's new iAmp Micro. If you're used to EA's older cabinets and you think you're going to try one of the new ones, to my ears this cabinet falls well short of what EA has output in years past. I was hoping that this cabinet would rival the output from their older cabinet with 1 10" speaker, 5" speaker, and a 4" tweeter. Well, I'm severely disappointed to say the least. Its output was very punchy with lots of midrange, very harsh highs, and very little lows to speak of. The warranty sheet for the cabinet says to not push too many lows or the driver will be damaged, and because it lacked so much of the lows thats what happened to me after two months of very infrequent use. (Note: I bought this not as a main amp but as a secondary rig.)

I will have to say the reliability of this was awful because after two months of use the driver was damaged and I had to send it back to EA.

EA was good and fairly quick to tell me that it wasn't covered under warranty and that I owed $150 to have it repaired. Bob Gollihur with Gollihur Music, on the other hand, was basically no help at all with a "tough-luck sailor" attitude.

This cabinet is supposed to be a bass cabinet, so why should I have to be careful not to push too much bass through it? I've been playing for some time, and I have never had a problem with any of the cabinets that I've used... until now. I'm not a particularly loud player, and I found the lack of lows from the cabinet caused me to push the lows too hard to cause damage to the cabinet. I think this would be a decent guitar cabinet or something that doesn't require a lot of low frequencies driven through it. It looks to me like EA has strayed from their old design philosophy and I will have to be content with my older EA gear and look somewhere else if I want to buy anything new.

Wizzy 1x12. Made in 2007. The original Wizzy not the new M-Wizzy.
The cab is small light and compact. It is easy to carry thanks to the large built-in handles. I love the fact that is has a smooth and chock resistant finish instead of the carpet like or Tolex covering.
This cab is shockingly loud for its size and weight! The cab resistance is 4 ohms.

The sound is just amazing. If you like a warm, round, old school sound this cab is your ticket! This is a very musical and balanced sound. It has been described as a flip top (Ampeg B15) for the new age and this is accurate. Its primary voicing are mids to lows. The cab has plenty of highs but it's not its strength. It has plenty of bass without going being earth shaking. Euphonic Audio uses a complex cabinet design concept called transmission lines (read their site on this topic) and they tend to deliver a lot more low end bass than many cabs in their category. The speaker is faster than a 15 inch but not quite as responsive as a ten for super fast dynamic playing. To me it represents a great compromise and if you want some of the low frequencies of a 15 and some of the speed of a 10, the 12 inch is perfect. The highs of this cab are really round and very natural. Some cabs have crystal sounding highs that can be aggressive but this is not the case here. All the frequencies are well covered without any gaps or discontinuities. Note that all Euphonic Audio cabs except the Wizzy have a perfectly flat response which gives their cabs no sonic signature or sound personality. Listening to a Euphonic Audio cab can be a bit strange at first and they sound a tad cold to my ears. The Wizzy is however the exception to the company???s philosophy and they have created a master piece of a cab. I tend to think this cab is perfect for the finger player who plays, blues, R&B, jazz and classic rock. It is very versatile. I have it paired with a Mesa Boogie Walkabout and the combination of the two is really terrific.

It has worked perfectly.

I have not had to call them. I suspect that when you work so hard at designing products you are probably great at customer service too.

I play a Fender American Jazz 60th anniversary with a Mesa Boogie Walkabout head. The combination of these two with the Wizzy is great.

I chose this cab over an Accugroove and a Bergantino which are probably with Euphonic Audio the three current bass cab builders. All of them are superb cabs it boils down to the sound you are looking for.

Overall this is an amazing compact cab. Its combination of a great sound, amazing portability and power delivers a superb value that will allow you to enjoy this cab for many years.

Not very many cabs will get a 10 rating (or should, anyway). The Wizzy is an "out of the park" home run (as stated by Tom Bowlus somewhere). Really can't believe someone hasn't written a review of this cabinet on Harmony Central to this point. Single 12" driver with a concentric "wizzer" cone for the high frequencies. Design of the cabinet produces a vintage mid-range frequency bump. Weighs less than 30 pounds with a very nice spray-on covering (new model has nub-tex) that will stand up to pretty much anything.

Just incredible - especially in a mix. The Wizzy is truly one of the most innovative concepts available in bass amplification. It just sounds phenomenal - easily handles a low "B"...REALLY sounds terrific when paired with a second Wizzy. By itself, you do hear the mid-bump...with other instruments, your jaw will drop.

Fantastic. - EA's customer service is pretty much the standard as well.

The best.

Not much I'd give an overall 10.....the Wizzy is easily one of THE best music purchases I've made (I have two of them).

Can't say enough about how they've made my rig modular and light while still sounding incredible.
