OK What exactly is a "tone bra"?

[mackid]

I read a lot about the tone bra, what is it and what does it do? Does it only work with the Eggie cabs? Oh and does it come in double d?

I want to know too.

Is it metal or wood?

Does it have foam on it?

is it strapless?

Strapless is fine......as long as its easy to unhook in the heat of passion!

It's a little thingy that looks like a bra that goes directly across the center of the speaker. It's used to diffract/deflect the sound so that if some yokel mics the direct center of the cab (which has been known to happen by well-meaning but retarded studio engineer or live sound types), it doesn't sound as bad as it would normally (without the bra).

It does not deflect or re direct the audio..It simply attentuates it.

Hey Jeff,are you getting tired of all the "tonebra"jokes If you guys have any laying around,I'd love to check one out in my 112

Actually, I had some Weber Beam Blockers get crushed.

1. exacto knife - remove damaged dustcap
2. affix foam to same spot
3. make it look like a 2 layer, circular wedding cake

The right cab and speakers should not need a beam blocker or anything similar. I use an Ear Candy buzzbomb with Sugar Cone speakers and have no need for anything like that - the MOD 50 kills through it.

I dont know, since youve stated that you prefer EL34's due to their midrange, dont you think that a super high power, very neutral speaker might be whats lacking the midrange character? Just a suggestion, but it sounds like you would be better off with a good set of greenbacks.

Oops, sorry, I knew it was something like that.

All I know is, it sounds good!
