    Default Amp Stack Project

    A while back, I got the itch to build a 1x12 cabinet for my Crate head. I had a 4x12, but sometimes that's just too much. Anyway, I recently bought a Crate Vintage Club 20 off Ebay and wasn't super impressed with it's sound. I put some new JJ tubes in it, which helped, but that 10" speaker seemed to be my problem. So, I got the bright idea to build a head cabinet and use the amp guts from the VC 20 and the 1x12 cabinet to build a mini-stack. I finished tonight (except for a set of metal corner protectors, which should be here tomorrow) and wanted to post some pics for you to enjoy. It's not a "great" job, but for my first amp/cab build, I think it turned out OK. Haven't turned it up loud yet - the wife won't let me... lol... Not to worry. I'll catch her gone and crank it up! So far, she sounds pretty good.

    Anyway, here's the pics. Enjoy!

    Looks great, Ron! I think I posted in your other thread.

    Some metal corners on the cab would work nicely, I think.

    Got 'em Kat. I ordered the wrong kind though (3 corner instead of 2), so I had a friend of mine cut off one corner and I touched it up with paint and mounted them. I will post a picture of the final tonight!

    Thanks Marnold!

    Sweet! I like that you improvise to solve the problem with the corners. A little SW Georgia ingenuity!
