OMG perfect.

Plan on pairing this with my Mesa V30 loaded horizontal 2x12 or for standalone use with the Ceriatone KK 50.

Found this on the Park Amplifiers website. I didn't realize how great a deal I got on this cabinet.

Dare I ask?

I didn't even know Park was still (or again?) manufacturing cabs. But man is that ever classy looking. 2x Creambacks is a perfect match, too. (Based on my extensive experience comparing IRs LOL.)

Just found the site and played around with the options a bit. They really hit you hard for that Greenback to Creamback substitution!

I like me some Creambacks. I mix a H75 + DV77 in a 2x12, and I love it.

Dare I ask?

More than a $500 discount and free shipping. Much more than I expected to spend, but it ticked all the boxes for what I wanted.

It's such a classy looking cab that I rationalize the expense like I would a fine piece of furniture. Buy it once and keep it forever.

Literally the best-looking cabinet and options on that entire site. The straight frame with slightly angled baffle, pinstripe grill cloth... phwoar.

See post #2 in this thread.

And yeah, the upcharge for "Pinstripe Tone Cloth" is criminal, but once you've seen it, there's no turning back. Who would even consider that blue?

Creambacks are my fave modern speaker.

Just out of curiosity, did you find this used, or was it B stock/ refurbished somewhere?

Brand new. The markup must be insane.

 

[gearJunkie]

Received shipping info and is estimated to arrive Tuesday before noon.

Shipping weight is listed as 58 pounds. Add 62 pounds for the KK50 for 120 pounds (54 kg) of heavy tonez

Edited : my math was wrong

Park always made decent gear, and yes, I'm aware of the Marshall association
