Just custom made and delivered to me a week ago or so. I've played it every day since, and it sounds f-in' great! Custom ordered, so its exactly the features I wanted, no more, no less. This is a Vagabond 2x10 cab. Black tolex on the sides, diablo red & black swirl tolex on the front and back. 2 10" Eminence Delta 10b speakers at 16oohms each wired for 8 overall on the cab, capable of handling 350 watts! I'll never push that, I'm using either a 60 watt tube head or a 200 watt solid state. But, its good to know that the speakers won't crap out on me, they are meant to handle blistering volumes. Handle on top, extra feet on one side so that it can stand vertically or horizontally. 2 black circular speaker grills. Single jack in the back. Perfect.
Sound Quality

Sounds amazing. A fairly small cab, but huge sound. The Vagabond is EarCandy's lower-priced less amazing series of cabs. No ports, more shallow construction than their signature models. But, I've gotta say I hooked this thing up and A/B'd it against my 2x12 Buzzbomb and I liked it just a shade better. Of course that's me standing like 8 feet away, whereas you have to hear each individually much further away to get a real sense of things. But, point being - I love the way it sounds, I don't think the lack of ports etc. compromises the sound very much at all. I'm primarilly using a 60 watt Ashdown Fallen Angel head, with this cab and my other brand new 1x12 from EarCandy as well. The head has great clean and heavy distortion, plus I have a huge gang of pedals. All of it so far sounds just great coming out of this thing. I think the speakers still have a lot of breaking in to do, so it will only get better from here as well!

Great customer support, I know if I ever have a problem I can write to Tim and he will rectify the situation. But I don't anticipate any.

Overall I got just what I wanted with this baby. It looks awesome, sounds huge, is more portable than my other 2x12 cab, but still brings the noise. Weeee!
