How are they going to dial in that RevivalDrive in time for the demo? HOW!?

 

[SwirlyMaple]

Interesting. I’m curious if they’ve got any new innovations built into it. So far nobody has truly nailed the cab-modeling/cab-replacement. Will this be the one?…

No , but it might sound good

I loved it when I already "solved" this "problem" with my used GT100

Stacking two of these would look cool. So there's that

If there’s a way to hobble something and upsell full functionality, there is no company more guilty of this than IK. (And I say this as someone who thinks their stuff is pretty good. But their nickel and dime tactics always make me feel gross about buying their stuff.)

That does look desperately pretty, and I suspect it will be very light too!

I want one already!

Not a fan of how it looks, the grill cloth screams “I’m digital, I’m digital!” and I think “no stop it, you’re a cab.” Kickstand is always nice though.

Looks small-ish? 10” woofer size?

Looks reasonably inoffensive to me. The question is, will this be just another Headrush "FRFR" or something actually good.

BTW does anyone know what the pedalboard in the picture is? Haven't seen that hole pattern before. I was rewiring my Temple Audio board yesterday and getting annoyed by the small holes to run cables through.

We shall see, but IKM monitors are quite good.

I already can’t wait to buy the license transfer credit when I decide to sell it!

I guess the cloth design is just like the discombobulated one on top of the ToneX pedal. Continuity, sorta

Bonus for the buyer: speaker will be broken in after the 90 day period!

Yeah, their track record is quite good there, IMHO. Hopefully, they will maintain the standard, somewhat.

When I think of IK and ILoud speakers they are known for; I think of the repeated blatherings of how every FAS Recto bass excursion is inaccurate and how unrealistic it is, only to see some 3" turd on a random desktop somewhere being used by the person making the complaints. Gee; you think the bass is lacking?

You mean my 6 inch studio monitors won't sound like a 4x12?

The iLoud Micros sound huge in about a 3’ x 3’ listening position on a table or desk. Absolutely love mine.
