CE and MC ?

Post by JazzGuitarGimp »

Hi Everyone,

I wonder if someone would be so kind as to enlighten me on these two acronyms. I see both of them used quite a bit here.

CE chassis: Most threads that mention this chassis seem to infer it is pre-punched. The only source that comes to mind is CE Distribution, though I have looked at all the chassis boxes they sell, and they are just the standard-fare Hammond, un-punched.

MC Iron. Who is this? I imagine Mercury Magnetics would be referred to as MM.

Many thanks,
Lou

PS, I apologize as I am still trying to learn the "lingo" of this forum.

Hi Lou,
MC is Magnetic Components - transformer makers.
Someone else will pipe in about CE dumble type chassis.

Thank you both, Deric and Bob - I appreciate it.

That chassis looks really nice - would I be correct in assuming the head cab from Amplified Nation is a good fit?

Thanks again,
Lou

I have a silverface CE chassis just waiting to go for a Dumble build. It is made to a very high standard.

MM can be Mercury Magnetics, which I have in my AB763 and also highly recommend.

It can also mean MusicMan in the Dumble world, when MM transformers are used.

At least its not confusing :D

If you are after a quality cab, then Taylor and Amplified Nation will not disappoint you. I buy some materials from him and he looks after his customers very well. I can probably find them in the UK but I like dealing with a great guy who is a TAG member :wink:
