Yet another!

This is “Kay”. Pretty much the same tone as “Diane” and “Allison “. Really want to sell all of them but I gotta make a decent profit. They are a lot of work.

Beautiful work. Thanks for posting. Yes, for such a seemingly "simple" amp, they are a tremendous amount of work.

Agreed, great looking amps. Do they all sound the same?

Fantastic execution on the cabs! Different wood on the valences? The one on the lower left looks like flatsawn ash or oak. Really nice.I see you used blind rabbet joints. I do the same, except I backup the joint with a piece of 3/4 square ash or maple on the inside (Marshall smallbox style). My woodworking skill isn't good enough to leave them uncovered.

Good luck selling them.

The lower left is oak. They really sound close, just subtle differences.

I chose oak for the first cabinet because it is available when I mess up and cut wrong. That happened once. I used a dado blade on that cabinet. I got creative and used a 1/4 inch straight router blade to do the relief for the face panel. After figuring that out, I now use only the router and a stop block to perform the joints. I set it to 1/4 inch depth to groove the side panels and set it to 1/2 depth to do the top, bottom and pace panels. It is much simpler. I have a problem that I buy enough lumber and it sits long enough to bow slightly. The dado is really difficult to properly cut bowed boards. The router just glides across the bow and when I clamp it up glued it pulls the bow straight.
I'm not a woodworker. I've been really lucky with the cabinets. I have a really small cheap table saw and miter saw. They work. I build a lot of jigs and extensions to help. I made a slide thing for doing box joints for my tolex covered cabs and speaker cabs. I'm just a dumb mechanic from South Georgia that likes building stuff. It's turning out really nice though. Thanks for the compliments. If I hadn't found The Amp Garage, I wouldn't have ever attempted one of these amps. I built a Dumble Overdrive type about three years ago and sold it to a guy in Chattanooga. He still has it. I got sober and decided to build amps to occupy my free time. Best thing I ever did, getting sober. I let God direct me to where I am and will just follow the leader.

Thanks
