Description

Edit description

The Super Fatboy combines the versatility of the Studio Pro and umph of the Fatboy cab. It is quite simple. We took the Fatboy, made it 70mm taller and added the slanted baffle to help projection and three piece back of the Studio Pro for a more varied array of sounds.

When we first built the Super Fatboy it was only to be a limited run of half a dozen, for friends, good customers and employees of Zilla. From the initial six cabs the interest grew, and without any publicity it is now our second most popular cabinet.

We didn’t even put it on our website for the first five years. The idea was to build a cab good enough to sell itself and we now know that is possible.
