Title: Fitting my ultra champ into a combo cab
Post by: tfarny on September 05, 2009, 09:28:45 PM
Hi, I'm really new to custom amps and just ordered my first, the ultra champ complete chassis. When I get it, I'll probably slap together a head cab out of pine boards I have laying around. But eventually I'd like to put it in a 1x12 combo cab with a nice weber speaker, preferably a tweed deluxe type. How can I know what will fit into what, or am I definitely going to have to get a custom cab? Is the orientation of the trannies and tubes ('above' the controls) going to be a problem?
Thanks!

AFAIK, Ceriatone is the only one that makes cabs for their amps.   So yes, you will have to make/have somebody make a custom cab for you.
Good Luck

check out my tweed build:  http://ceriatoneforum.com/index.php?topic=1010.0

I had a cab built by "Sourmash Cabinets" because of the unique dimensions of the Ceriatone chassis.

You may want to consider a 2x10 speaker configuration.  It works very well with these small amps.  Weber speakers are fantastic!  They are what I used.
