Tweed Princeton ready for battle

Post by Milkmansound »

I did a custom build of one of my "one watt" amplifiers for a customer who is about to travel the world with Bobby McFerrin and thought I would share it here.

I didn't have time to order up a cabinet so we did it in a cage "Fowler style"

I kind of want to throw it out the window to see if it still works :)

Looks great Tim.

Funny I just received my small chassis and cage to build something like this myself. :)

I like the faceplate you use and what xitan used on his cage adds a lot to the looks.

Yup hammond stuff. I can't find any other suppliers.

There is a Bud cage chassis on ebay right now.

he will need a voltage converter - I imagine that this amp will not need a very large one.
