Wow!
That thing is huge!

Aw shoot! now I need to redesign my face plate on my amp project, I had King Tone Consoul on there. Even the foot switchable FET with gain Knob on the front, I even have the same knobs as the FET knob (nice and cheap from Mouser @>10), and presence instead of mid switch too! Only difference is OD instead of reverb since I'm putting that on the reverb-a-loop. Great minds think alike...
Nice amp Shad!

Please do not feel obligated to me to make changes to your amp build.
The name was chosen by a client.
I am pretty sure there have been other amps named something similar.
Quinnamp is the only name on that amp I feel a right and need to protect.
Your in for a treat with an OD built in.
Anyway no worries here.

Of course, "Console" would be a fitting alternative to "Consoul"...

There isn't really a frame of reference for size, but based on the proportion of height to width it really looks massive... What's the weight on that?

Are you selling it with a forklift, or attaching a motor and wheels?

The one I'm making is 27" wide JCM800 chassis so it will be just under 29" in the cabinet to fit just right on a 4x12 or 2x12 or 2xTL806's, although I'm kinda thinking of making it as a half-blind dovetail walnut twin style with oval back 2xevm12L's, and tilt legs. Might need to keep a weight belt in the back!

[ampdork]

LOL right?

It's pretty big but it's a 24" chassis... so maybe a few inches bigger then an Overdrive Special...
The picture angle makes it look a bit more ominous then it is truly is.
Indeed a large Marshall head is quite a few inches longer.
But yeah it'll crush small nations, launch kittens, or make you sterile if your not careful with your aim... :O)

I do need to make a note though.
Tommy Cougar contacted me today to inform that that he has been making King Tone Consoul for a few years already.
So again I could not care less... but Tommy might. ;O)

[ER]

Cool, I guess I should only worry what Stevie-Ray would think...

Shad

Would love to play it sometime.. Best of luck with it..

shad, Real cool on the 24" chassis fit.

Dig the Vox black diamond grill cloth looks good.

Still working out the vibrato on mine, May go with a Magnatone 280-A vibrato in mono not sure at this point.


Thanks, Steve.
