KSR vs Mills Acoustics Afterburner cab

[braintheory]

I noticed in photos that the interior of these 2 cabs look very similar. Has anyone here tried both? Do they sound similar to each other?

No hands on experience with either, but the afterburner was designed to be used with vin30s. KSR usually uses Cremebacks in their combos. So I would assume you wouldn't get the same effect unless you only use vin30s. Which KSR offers several different speakers to populate their cabs, even 4 different speakers in one cab.

I have a 212 Afterburner - put your pics up and I can confirm

The pic I saw of the KSR cab interior was on the Facebook page of Chondro guitars. I’ll have to find it again

You've heard of chondro guitars? He sold me my recto 4x12 on craigslist 4 years ago for 450.

I saw the pic of the KSR cab. It's definitely using the Afterburner that Mills had in his cabs. I owned a few Mills cabs. They sounded really good, but they were way too big and bulky unfortunately. I did also have the more standard sized Mills cab too though. It was a cool cab as well. Best speaker combo I had in the Afterburner was Scumback H55/H75LDC. Sounded really good. K100/V30 mix sounded great too.

Still have mine, can't imagine another cab sounding the same but you're definitely right about being big and bulky. I dont ever want to move it.

Yeah, had an Afterburner 412 slant. Got rid of it because, as great as it sounded (OMG!), it was just impractical to use for anything other than rehearsal/recording. The idea of transporting it for a gig was daunting at best.

I also had a Mach 212 but I found that cab was meh sounding.

That 4x12 was incredible sounding, though. Absolutely incredible.

KSR cab, at 31x31x14 is only ever so slightly smaller than the Mills (32x32x14.75). And they're not the only ones to have copied the Afterburner baffle: Presenting, Aftershock cabinets featuring the "Aftershock" baffle! These guys almost used the same name lol :

"Introducing the new "AFTERSHOCK" baffle. acoutically reduces standing waves and solidifies our cabinets, in turn letting them project the sound forward much better. also giving a tighter response."

Hoenstly unless the baffle is exact and the rest of the cab dimensions I could see a big difference in sound. Im no woodsman but that just seems like that would be the case. I want to say the Mills Guy put in quite a bit of RnR into their cabs. Not automatically saying this other one would sound bad but that baffle looks elementary compared to mills.
