What can I say, this thing saved my guitar tone. I can crack my all tube output and capture 100 percent tone now. Before I was always worried about not only that but im recording in a townhouse there is nowhere in my place i could isolate the amp even if it wouldn't bother gf or neighbors. This thing is awesome i bought a 4 dollar goose neck for the mic inside threw in a shure sm57 and just listen through my monitors or headphone, Finally i've got the perfect tone always waiting for me. I run the sm57 into a chandler tg2 and into the computer, the front end is a digitech 2101 into a bogner line 6 spider amp. awesomeness !! Ive heard people say these are to boxy sounding and I don't agree, with an eq handy and some good pres and guitar effects your set to go it sounds awesome.

Read my description. Not the best, but it’ll do for the price.
Sound
Ordered one an it arrived quickly. Once opened, I noticed the hinges were loose and screws were at the bottom of the package. I returned it and asked for another one. The second one arrived, and same thing. Screws were at the bottom of the package. I put them back on figuring that it isn’t going to get better. I put an SM57 in the cab and couldn’t get a signal. The XLR terminal/cable wasn’t working. I pulled the terminal and will use one XLR direct to mixer as the hole is big enough to pull the XLR cable into the box. Note to the people at Randall- improve the hinges and use quality XLR AND 1/4 in terminals. These are simple fixes that should not be fixed by the end user.
Features
Aside from the flaws, the box will serve its purpose with my 10pc band. Stage volume is never an issue with everyone using IEM’s and no amps. I’m not the guitarist, but understand that a guitarist going direct from a pedal board to FOH using only IEM’s to hear themself does not produce an authentic sound. I’m seeing this as a good solution as it will allow them to use a tube amp. It’ll also come in handy for recording.

"DO NOT BUY"

I received my Iso Cab today, and felt like a kid at Christmas. Soon enough I felt like I was Scrooged. The reality is, this is a nice Celestion speaker in a box that isn't worth $25. The lid was skewed both because all of the screws on the (surprisingly frail) hinges were loose, and because the bottom half of the lid catch was mounted crooked. The jacks on the back are plastic, and the 1/4" jack protrudes from the back. The insulation in the lid was installed sloppily, the liner on the lid was torn, the (wobbly) lifting handles on the side showed signs of wear right out of the box. In short, it is a good speaker in a very cheaply made box. I know it sounds like a bunch of little stuff, but when you realize how much you just paid for it, you'd send it back too.
