Council Bluffs, IA (January 10, 2012) – Grundorf Corporation, a leading manufacturer of equipment for musicians and audio professionals, is pleased to introduce the new Grundorf ABS Series professional amp racks. Designed to house everything from amps, processors, patchbays, and more, these versatile, lightweight, rugged transport cases provide robust protection for one’s valuable electronics and are ideal for musicians and DJ’s and also make an outstanding choice for house of worship, corporate AV centers, and educational applications.
Available in 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-space configurations, the new Grundorf ABS Series professional amp racks are manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight ABS material and utilize a 3 mm thickness high density ABS shell with a heavy duty aluminum extrusion to ensure robust protection for years of use. All models feature a contemporary, professional black textured finish that is easy to clean and maintain. Of particular importance, these cases have gasket-fitted front and rear lids—each with a 2.25-inch inside depth— to protect one’s equipment from moisture and dirt.
The Grundorf ABS Series professional amp racks are designed with molded-in structural bracing for added strength. In addition to ensuring the case retains its structural rigidity, this design characteristic also enables them to be stacked to conserve valuable space. For this reason, the ABS Series amp racks feature a molded-in, stackable ‘lock-in-place’ design to ensure the equipment stays securely in place.
To ensure the equipment rackmounted into the Grundorf ABS Series amp racks retains a tight, secure fit; these cases employ a pre-tensioned rack rail that eliminates the occurrence of loose racking screws. Equally notable, the rack rail is field-replaceable—should the need to replace it ever become necessary. With a 16.75-inch rackable depth space between the front and rear rack rail, these cases enable one to rackmount most any equipment currently available with ease.
Frank Grund, President of Grundorf Corporation, reflected on his company’s new cases. “With their high impact, lightweight design, our new ABS Series amp racks make an outstanding choice for a myriad of applications,” says Grund. “Their light weight makes them a great choice for gigging musicians while the ABS shell cleans up nicely—thus making them an attractive solution for hotels, conference centers, houses of worship and similar venues where equipment needs to move from one space to another. And with our optional dolly plates, the process of moving these amp racks becomes that much easier. I’m confident musicians, DJ’s, corporate A/V managers, and others will find these cases provide robust protection for their valuable electronics at a price that represents tremendous value.”

ABS-R0216B (2-space) $209.95

A 1000-watt speaker cabinet crafted for musicians who demand power and precision. Sunn Amps intends to reinvent the standard 4x12 configuration with the introduction of this new cabinet.
The Sunn Amps DoomBox is built to accommodate both guitar and bass, offering an impressive 1000-watt handling capacity—making it the first commercially available 4x12 cabinet with such high power handling. With four specially designed 12” drivers rated at 250 watts each, this cabinet provides clean, unrestrained sound levels that can maintain power integrity across all frequencies, ideal for high-volume performances.
Inspired and developed using feedback from artists and bands who rely on the depth of lower tunings and high volume genres, the DoomBox was engineered to meet the unique demands of professional musicians looking for a robust, high-efficiency cab that can translate the raw power of their sound without compromise.
Premium Craftsmanship and Materials
The Doom Box cabinet is crafted from solid finger-jointed Baltic Birch plywood, ensuring both durability and tonal clarity. Each cabinet is constructed by hand in the U.S.A. using original 1930s machinery, the DoomBox reflects Sunn’s historic commitment to quality, contrasting with some of the mass-produced, MDF-based cabinets on the market today. The cabinet’s aluminum basket, ferrite magnet, and custom Sunn weave Tolex with a custom grill design complete its professional-grade build.
Technical Specifications:
• Power Handling: 1000W
• Inputs: 1 x ¼”
• Impedance: 8 Ohm
• Drivers: 4 x Sunn 12S250
• Construction: Marine Grade Baltic Birch
• Dimensions: 29.25” X 30” X 14”
• Weight: 107 lbs
• Price: $2399.00
With clear low-end punch, even sound response, and ample air movement, the Doom Box ensures that every note reaches the audience with clarity and power. This cabinet is a game-changer for musicians who need high-performance, road-ready equipment that enhances their unique sound.
Does the guitar’s design encourage sonic exploration more than sight reading?
A popular song between 1910 and 1920 would usually sell millions of copies of sheet music annually. The world population was roughly 25 percent of what it is today, so imagine those sales would be four or five times larger in an alternate-reality 2024. My father is 88, but even with his generation, friends and family would routinely gather around a piano and play and sing their way through a stack of songbooks. (This still happens at my dad’s house every time I’m there.)
Back in their day, recordings of music were a way to promote sheet music. Labels released recordings only after sheet-music sales slowed down on a particular song. That means that until recently, a large section of society not only knew how to read music well, but they did it often—not as often as we stare at our phones, but it was a primary part of home entertainment. By today’s standards, written music feels like a dead language. Music is probably the most common language on Earth, yet I bet it has the highest illiteracy rate.
Developed specifically for Tyler Bryant, the Black Magick Reverb TB is the high-power version of Supro's flagship 1x12 combo amplifier.
At the heart of this all-tube amp is a matched pair of military-grade Sovtek 5881 power tubes configured to deliver 35-Watts of pure Class A power. In addition to the upgraded power section, the Black Magick Reverb TB also features a “bright cap” modification on Channel 1, providing extra sparkle and added versatility when blended with the original Black Magick preamp on Channel 2.
The two complementary channels are summed in parallel and fed into a 2-band EQ followed by tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo effects plus a master volume to tame the output as needed. This unique, signature variant of the Black Magick Reverb is dressed in elegant Black Scandia tolex and comes loaded with a custom-built Supro BD12 speaker made by Celestion.
Price: $1,699.
