Any tips on replacing the standard black covered panel on the front of an OTS head? I've managed to score some Vox cloth and just wondered how difficult a job this would be for a complete novice. I guess I'm going to need staples but does anyone know how the standard factory built panel is affixed? Had a quick look with a torch last night but its difficult to see without removing the chassis.

I'd just like to have an idea of what's involved for a good finish before I actually remove the innards...

Cheers

Its quick and easy. Just take the existing tolex that's on the front panel, take the cloth you want to replace it with, stretch it, make sure its straight, then staple it on.

Ohh and BTW, with Vox Cloth, the secret to putting it on is getting it Wet and stretching it so that it doesn't get loose over time and seem flubby.

Looks great!

What Zilla cab / speaker have you got there, and how does it sound good?

Went for the Zilla mini modern cab - great slightly oversized 1x12  - handles the bass end from the Bluesmaster very nicely. I've got an old EVM12L in it and use it open back.
