Title: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: Noaita on July 01, 2009, 08:41:37 PM I need to choose one of these faceplates for my amp. It will be housed in a Flame Maple and Ribbon Walnut cabinet.
Which would you choose? Title: Re: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: AdrianJ on July 02, 2009, 08:01:04 AM Do you have a pic of the cabinet?
Is the Walnut or the Maple the dominant colour in the cab? I'd tend to go for a contrasting faceplate... Title: Re: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: mcinku on July 02, 2009, 09:05:41 PM +1
I agree with Adrian Title: Re: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: Noaita on July 03, 2009, 01:47:52 AM It will look similar to this cabinet.
Title: Re: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: AdrianJ on July 03, 2009, 07:52:29 AM Then I would go with the walnut, like the amp in the picture, so that it gives the nice contrast.

However, I come from the land of Bang & Olufsen, which is probably why I prefer more subtle, somewhat cooler, Bauhaus like designs. 8) Title: Re: OTS HRM Facelate Post by: hywelg on July 03, 2009, 08:41:00 AM Personally I love customised cabs, however if you ever take it to a gig you'd better play aswell as your amp looks!
Thats why I prefer an understated headshell/cab, my playing wouldn't live up to a beautiful creation like the Soultone.

Hywelg: LOL! This amp will never leave my house. Well, maybe to go to the studio. ;) Once I get the cabinet, I may make yet another set of plates. This one in Walnut. We'll have to see when the cabinet arrives. This amp will have all custom wood knobs on it, too. Maybe I'll even make a wooden cable! If I could only get it to pass current.

I fully respect that you are making a 'showcase' amp, which pictured alongside your custom products, will help boosting your custom guitar knob business. |
