Been making some combos latley,They sound nice with a good speaker,I used the Celestion creamback in the 6l6 5E3 and sound great.

Looks nice, brownout! Clips?

This one had a regular chassis,we made it work.He is a sound egineer for several huge bands,on his time home he builds a nice circuit with tremolow for the combo style.

Your combo cabs look great Mikey.

Thanks Mark the mohogony wood one has the amp in it that you built me.It really sounds awesome and it's dead quiet too I am keeping that one and pedals work real well with it too.

What kind of lacquer did you use on that nice flame maple piece

Actually thats just the tung oil,about ten coats and a buff,I am using some laquar now,but nothing speacial krylon I think i have out there.They are such small pieces I dont use a spray gun just a can.

Great work!
Any clue on what circuit that 'Philly Rat' amp uses?

No,I played it,It had tremolo.I believe it was for a blues guy.Bob is a sound engineer and does sound in stadiums all around the world.He does a lot of big named bands.Jason Aldean to Fall out boys.He builds amps for a variety of players.I did 8 4x12's for him this summer for a stage design.He is a real cool guy and builds wrecks and fenderish amps as well.I wish I played it a bit more.

Hi Mike,

As always your work is inspiring and wood drool worthy! You had to build 8 4x12's? That would be a pile of sawdust. Did you ever get that walnut for the 4x12 to behave?

Oh no,These were plywood cabs with tolex,I put a strip of mohogony at the top ,leather corners metal handles,Ill post a picture

Heres 6 of them,the other 2 Im putting speakers and rear baffles in my shop.They took a good amount of time.The grill cloth was going to be a wheat brownish like the combos but its discontinued from mojo.Kinda sucked

That mahogany strip at the top is a nice touch. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Love the cabinets and shot of some of your amps in the back ground bud.
