OwnHammer Impulse Response Libraries Rock-Box V30EN-1999A

The OwnHammer Rock-Box cabinets are proprietary enclosures, designed and built in-house singularly for impulse response capture and towards multiple sound design goals: to maximize fidelity and musicality for use in a broad range of styles and applications, to provide a tone that is both something familiar and something new, and to exude a neutrality that allows the individuality of different speakers, guitars, pickups, amps, and playing nuances to shine through unencumbered. Various unique construction choices were implemented to accomplish this complex requirement set to outstanding result, providing a tone with clean low end, magical midrange, smooth high end, and incredible note clarity across the entire spectrum.

Fame Factor: This speaker hails from OwnHammer founder/owner Kevin Rowe's first 4x12 cabinet. This set was used in all live performances and studio recordings for his music projects prior to the inception of the OwnHammer music production product company, and as a result is the "sound in his head" that many similar OwnHammer speaker cabinet products are largely referenced against.
