Title: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: Steven_nl on April 05, 2008, 10:31:39 AM Hi
Is it possible to fit an Overtone in a combo cabinet (1x12 inch speaker)? Any suggestions that might work? Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: hywelg on April 05, 2008, 03:39:31 PM I can't see a problem. I'm intending to do so myself as soon as the kit arrives. As far as I can see, you'll just need to make the sides longer and fix some battening to allow for the mounting of a baffle board. The Grille cloth will be fixed to a lightweight ply frame and will be a loose fit on top of the baffle board held in place by velcro pads just like most Fender amps.
Now what about speaker selection? Im thinking either G12-65 or a G1230H Heritage. Unable to decide. Would appreciate comments and experiences.

Not a good choice for a 1x12 cabinet, as the OvertoneĀ“s a 50 watt amp. Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: mcinku on April 05, 2008, 09:12:34 PM I'm building a combo 1x12" cab.
Actually I'm done, just need to do a tolex and grill job and that's it. I'm using G12-65. ;) Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: Steven_nl on April 06, 2008, 09:31:46 AM what about ready made combo cabs? (I have two left hands)

(I have two left hands) Sorry, can hardly find the time for mine. :( Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: Steven_nl on April 07, 2008, 04:57:54 PM no I meant aren't there ready made combo cabinets thaat would be a good fit for the amp plus a 1x12 inch speaker

Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: Steven_nl on April 08, 2008, 01:46:47 PM would the Overone fit in a Blackface 1x12 combo cab?

This is my plan for the cabinet. (http://user.volja.net/mcinku/Overtone_1x12_FRONT.jpg) Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: ChrisL on April 09, 2008, 01:31:45 AM I don't know.... I don't bother building combo's anymore. Convenience comes at a huge compromise in tone. Combos just sound way too open and lifeless to me compared to a semi closed back cab and head. My D'lite is in an oversized 1x12 combo and while it sounds great it fails in comparison to plugging the chassis into a 1x12 separate cab. Just MHO.
The Suhr Badger combo cab design does look like a reasonable alternative though. Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: Steven_nl on April 09, 2008, 07:08:32 AM Thanks for posting that design!!
I think the Suhr won't work cause it's not "upside down" (Tubes under the controls) I wonder if this fits: http://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/product_info.php/info/p1744_TT-Combo-1-12--Universal.html Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: ChrisL on April 09, 2008, 07:41:12 AM Thanks for posting that design!!

Of course it won't work "as is". Title: Re: Overtone in Combo cabinet Post by: mcinku on April 09, 2008, 07:42:03 AM Thanks for posting that design!!

OT chassis dimensions are 488mm (and add at least 4mm for side screws) 208mm (that's with back and face plates) 64mm I think your best chance is, to ask them if the have something which can fit that and if not, can they do it for you. ???
