Is anyone running an Ear Candy 1x12 with their Z? If so, 2 questions:
1. Is the Ear Candy "cream" color, a good match for Dr Z "blonde"?
2. I'm planning to use an Eminence Redcoat or Redfang - any thoughts?
Thanks!

I have a 2x12 Buzzbomb that I use with my KT-45 and Carmen Ghia, but it's covered in black so I can't help you much on the color match thing. Try calling up Tim Paulsen (owner of EC), as he might know right away (he's built a few cabs for Dr. Z amp users, so he may have already been asked this question in the past).
As for the speaker, it's really a question of what amp(s) you're running into the cab more than anything, and also if you want ceramic or AlNiCo magnets. The Red Fangs sound great and work very well in Tim's cabs though.

Yeah, emailed Tim and got a near real-time response. He says he's building quite a few cabs for Z-users. Looks like I'll go with a 1x12 to complement my 2x10 with Reverend Alltones.

Good call! Tim builds great cabs with innovative designs that he's developed. I like that he somewhat ignored "vintage" conventions on his designs to come up with what he truly believes are the best cabs on the market.

I ended up going with an Avatar cab and an Eminence Wizard speaker (similar to the Red Fang but more power handling). After Tim's fast initial response, I got no further responses to my questions. I'll let you know how it sounds when it arrives.
