Head cab for 18w PCB amp

Post by Ken Moon »

Does anybody know where Terry Stinger (RIP) got this cab for his Superlite II PCB amp?

I've only built one Marshall-style headcab before, and it was a little past my ability to get the corners and curved cutouts all looking nice.

Since the Hammond 16x8x2 chassis doesn't have any easy way to bolt into a head cab, the head cab would have to be a bit wider on each side to allow the use of angle brackets (mounted to the outside of the chassis) to hold the chassis in place. This cab looks like it has an extra inch or two on each side, which would be perfect.

I used the standard front/rear panels as shown here from BNP, which are 16x8x2.5 inches.

If one of the cab-makers here can make something similar that this chassis would fit into, I'd be very interested.

Thanks!

Use the threaded clips slipped over the flanges of the inner fold on the Hammond chassis to mount it. You can get them at any Ace hardware.

There is a guy on Ebay, Adams713, who will make a nice Baltic Birch Cabinet shipped to you for you for about $113. You will need to cover it yourself or find someone to do it for you. He charged me $15 to add a rout on the front and a top vent.

He will build to any size that you need.

Do a search for British head cab on Ebay. Try completed and sold auctions.

I see that he doesn't have anything listed right now so find Adams713 and email him with the details of what you want.

Adams713 has good prices, and I might give him a try :)
