Euphonic Audio Wizzy M-Line
After using my new EA Wizzy M-Line for the past few days for double bass gigs, I have to say that everything I had heard and read about this cab is true and then some. The Wizzy M is absolutely fantastic. I even used it in a couple of rooms that have difficult acoustics, and the sound was wonderful. Very warm, deep and clear without any boom or mud. The depth and clarity were especially impressive. The way the lowest register speaks is pretty amazing, yet from the bottom to the top, you can hear everything, and the entire range of the bass is very even. I never had the urge to turn up the volume to be able to hear myself, which is something I especially liked. With my Walter Woods Electracoustic amp, I needed almost no EQ, even in the tough rooms. I also have a Euphonic Audio VL-208 as well as an original Wizzy E, and, to me, the Wizzy M is even better than either of those two very outstanding cabs. The M-Line is also nicely compact, lightweight, and easy to transport. If you get a chance to check out one of these cabs, I'd recommend it highly.

Oh no you don't! I won't let you talk me into anything new. I've got just exactly what I need-for now.

I tried it on a gig too and stopped just short of recommending it over the VL-208. I'd need to work with both a bit more than one show to know for sure. My experiences with that cab are just as yours too. I haven't yet bought one but I probably will.

Wizzy-M and WW 2 ch. amp compared to AI Focus 2r III
Quote:
Although I have not tried a VL-208 or an original Wizzy to compare, I've owned my pair of Wizzy M-lines since late Oct.'06 and concur w/ everything you've said whole heartedly and the honeymoon is far from over. Last edited by Brian Glassman; 02-11-2007 at 11:32 PM. |

Sounds right.
The only question that really remains is two 8 ohm or one 4?

My only reservation about the Wizzy M is for doubling. The original Wizzy E is my favorite cab for that, however the Wizzy M has a more Hi-Fi, transparent type of sound and doesn't have as much of the vintage warmth that I like with the Wizzy E for bass guitar. I'm hoping I get used to that, since I like the Wizzy M so well for double bass. It's really amazing for that.

Wizzy-M w/ BG
Quote:
I like the Wizzy-M just fine for slab. I have a pair for loud gigs, but one seems kick really well for most. I enjoy the added depth it gives my very punchy Music Man Sterling. Ofcourse there's no substitute for mass. I've tried much heavier rigs w/ multiple speakers that give the BG more heft to the sound, but for a 33 pound speaker? it's great. I think the BG even sounded better w/ the M when I used my Walter Woods instead of the Focus. It sounded like a much bigger cab than it is. How's that for hurling, Phil? My one criticism w/ BG may be that the speaker seems to sound a little dry w/ pops and slaps. It's almost like while the wizzer plays the hi's the woofer takes a break on the lows. Maybe it can't transmit the crispiest hi's and lows at the same time? A good test might be to play a keyboard thru it and play at the extreme hi end and low end of the keyboard at the same time.

Quite honestly, I've only briefly tried the Wizzy M at home with the BG. It didn't sound quite right to me, but it wasn't a very realistic test. The original Wizzy E has quite a bit of midrange warmth and sounds kind of vintage, almost like an old Ampeg but with it own unique character. Since I'm an old-school electric bass player, I tend to go for that kind of sound. The Wizzy M is more open and Hi-Fi sounding (and is less colored) and probably would be terrific for a modern type BG sound. The Wizzy M definitely sounds wonderful for the DB.
