The American Series

Leo’s boys did not only make superb guitars and amplifiers, they also created a number of cabinet models which despite their simple construction can be regarded as milestones in speaker cabinet design, and which have remained immensely popular to this day. So it comes as no surprise that we took our cues from these cabinets when we designed the American Series.

The American Series cabinets provide an ideal base for country, rock’n’roll, rockabilly and old school music and should preferably be fitted with AlNiCo speakers for truly authentic sound reproduction.

Two lines of American Series cabinets are available. The first comprises cabs in set standard sizes, e.g. for 1x12” or 2x12” speaker configurations, with the full palette of exterior design options (Tolex, grillcloth, hardware, etc.) available.

The American Series CS models are custom-built to the sizes you specify, giving you the utmost flexibility.

Optionen

We offer a wide varaity of options for most of the speaker cabs that we build. The customer can choose from this options to adjust the speaker cab to his or her own needs and ideas.

Closed-Backs cabinets are widely used because they are easy to handle. But they have a bad habit: closed-back cabinets have a more or less strong damping effect on higher frequencies but also also the bass responce and they might be significantly quieter too than cabinets with an open back. The benefits, however, is a tight and well-controlled bass which make them ideal for loud and heavy sounds.

An Open Back cabinets produces a wide tonal range with a rich top end and a strong bass, but the bass response is less controlled than in a closed back cab because the cone of the speaker moves more freely with less control.

The "Flex-Back" – a development by TTC - however, is a mixture of both concepts and allows a quick change from a closed to an open back and vice versa - without tools. Thus the box can be easily adapted to the particular circumstances and needs.

The Oval or Dumble Back represents a kind of open-back - ported speaker cab with a higher tuning frequency than standard ported cabs, designed to push the mid-range which will result in a warm, smooth and full sound.

Options for the front side

The difference between a "Standard front" and a "XL-Front" is purely optical, and does not effect the sound. With a slanted mounted baffle the "Monitor"- effect is much higher than with a straight mounted baffle, because the sound is more radiated toward the musician.
