Definitely an un-PC name but some unique looking cabs. With that price point though I guess they're trying to tap the ever-elusive doom lawyer (or doom corporate CEO) market.

It is certainly a growing market.

I really love old furniture and radios (deco and nouveau are pretty much my favorite preiods of design, with a little bit of ambitious Kommie Sputnik futurism in there to boot), and the walnut is beautiful, but not at that price tag.
Gimme something I can put my beer on without having to think twice about a coaster.

Yeah. Sometimes I forget how much I don't care about how my gear looks because some of this shit looks so pristine. I remember the first time I took one of my cabs out to a gig and it rubbed against a doorway and there was some white and I was like well fuck me. But then I was like.. wait a minute, who gives a shit?

Don't get me wrong, those Dictator cabs look okay. I think a lot of us are suckers for stained designs but they don't blow me away. And the price point for some of these companies now doing it has gotten pretty high. Not saying it isn't justified because we can look at a Mesa 4x12 for a $1,000 or we can look at a Dictator for $1,200 or whatever. At this stage it's boiling down to aesthetics and what you want and there are a lot of part-time builders out there doing good work who have their companies on Facebook and whatever who will make a nice cabinet for quite a bit less. Ya know, SLK has his shit -- I don't know what he charges... maybe it's a grand a pop I don't know.

It used to be that these cabs were hyper-competetive in cost. Not the case anymore. For some companies at least.

I totally agree with this, except that I don't give a shit that emperor is carrying on in any way. And your other post about screws. What the fuck? Why am I seeing screws through the grill cloth? And on top of that, in that picture they're not even lined up well. Look at the ones on the left towards the middle. It's just not what you'd expect for craftsmanship for a $1200 cab.

And they're just ugly. Grandma's pie safe being my favorite comment I've read about anything in a long time.

I would buy pretty much any cab over a Dictator cab any day of the week.

Fixed. The name, the look, the price, and everything else is just off for me. Although I like tolex and generally am not into paying a ton for cabs anyway.

(The above is not intended in any way as a slight against slk or his beautiful cabs.

Amorphous for the lulz.

I want summit to build me an oversized, 6x12 pie safe.
Oversized because I like peas on my pie. Needs the extra headroom.

You should get a cake aquarium instead, they're much more transparent.

Good point.
Wouldn't want to garble that underwater pie lattice.

[Krosis]

Someone needs to start an amplifier cabinet company and name it Pie Safe Cabs.
