Has anyone tried a Komet Ambikab and what do you think of it?

I have not, but you got my curiosity going and I looked it up. That is kind of an interesting concept.

I’m also very intrigued by the idea. Solves a lot of phase/ isolation problems without external splitters or A/B boxes taking up space on my already crammed pedalboard. Plus ONE cab instead of three amps and cabs etc...

One of my favorite guitar players is Trey Anastasio from Phish and he changed his whole rig after 20+ years to Komet 60’s with Ambikab’s. He switched in 2017 and subsequently put out a live show with his solo band that was recorded that fall. It’s worth checking out just for the guitar tones! Trey Anastasio Band live at the fox theatre in Georgia.

Interesting,,,
This Komet cabinet is designed specifically to handle guitar effects. Komet describes the Ambikab as providing “a unique solution to the age old problem of applying ambient, time-based effects to an amplifier’s sound without degrading the original sound in any way.” According to a source close to the rig, this change was made as part of Trey’s tireless quest to find a cleaner rhythm sound. Per this source, Trey’s original Ambikab was a NAMM show prototype. The cabinet has two 12″ speakers (Celestial G12-65 Heritage currently) that are fed a dry signal directly from the Komet amp head. It also has two 10″ speakers that handle the “wet” signal (these may previously have been 8″). The 10″ speakers are the stock G-10 Vintage 60’s. The dry signal is sent out to an Eventide TimeFactor (formerly the Supa-Puss) and an Eventide Space Reverb and then returns to the Ambikab which re-amps it as a wet signal to the 10″ speakers. So there are two 12″ dry speakers and two 10″ wet speakers, allowing the time-based effects to color the guitar’s sound without overwhelming it.
