Title: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: mcinku on May 24, 2008, 08:43:42 PM I think it looks quite cool...

Wha's the sound like with the G65-12 (I have a cab with but no amp yet). Do you have the latest amp layout? Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS...

Well, I just started playing this amp with 65 speaker... up to now, I was using my Greenback cab. My amp is still stock (first layout), didn't wanted to touch anything 'cause I didn't know how the cab will sounds like. Maybe later on, I will decide to mod the amp. ;) Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: Steven_nl on May 24, 2008, 10:17:17 PM Happy with the sound so far?

Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: mcinku on May 25, 2008, 07:18:25 AM Thanks guys
took me a few months to find the material and the right people for the job. For example the tolex/leather thing, I took the amp to a pro who does car interior for living. Those stitches are way cool don't you think so? ;) ... on the end it was worth it. 8) Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: Luithien on May 25, 2008, 02:39:16 PM Beautiful job! Just something cool about having your sound all in one box...

Congrats ;) Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: cluster on May 31, 2008, 04:19:56 AM Did you you build this cab yourself? I have an overtone without a cab and I am looking for someone to build me a head cab for it. If anyone knows of anyone, let me know. The stock cabs that Nik has just don't appeal to me.

And leather was a done by a pro, like I said in a couple of posts above. Maybe this can help you a little.... Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: Bluestone on June 01, 2008, 08:33:08 AM That`s a great looking amp mate..!
Was it inspired by Robben Ford`s combo, as it looks very similar to his one that`s green & tan..? Could you supply the weight..? Cheers. Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: DrewZee87T on June 01, 2008, 08:40:16 AM Thanks for a great post and for sharing the dimensions. That's exactly what I am looking to get into when I am done. FYI, the grille cloth looks a bit loose, maybe hit it with a hairdryer again to shrink it back up? Awesome combo. Really nice.

Was it inspired by Robben Ford`s combo, as it looks very similar to his one that`s green & tan..? Could you supply the weight..? Cheers. Thanks, That design is pretty common for D style combo amps. The color choice.... well it all started with the fact that I had some grill left over... from my champ amp. I thought Fender Brown Face style is coll, so I thought I should try to build something similar. I just went for a little darker brown for more contrast. I didn't weigh it but when I do, I'll let you know. ;) Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS...

It looks that way on that photo but in fact you can't see it in person. It must be the shadows. I didn't even use hairdryer... maybe I should and see what happens. Thanks for the tip. ;) Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: hywelg on June 01, 2008, 12:27:26 PM Thanks for a great post and for sharing the dimensions.

I've had good success using the hot air gun to tighten grille cloth, but you sould dampen it first with a fine mist spray (don't overdo it!!!) or a damp cloth (safer, but you might need to do it twice).

Post by: Rock-On!! on September 10, 2008, 07:36:43 PM OK here's mine again ;) (http://freeweb.siol.net/mcinku/images/guitars/Overtone.jpg) :D (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fullerplast/Overtonefront.jpg) Mmmm nice.... You're giving me ideas now. (I've got a spare set of Fender tilt back legs and I think I'd like to do one in Cream Tolex). Those are both very nice cabs. I am waiting on my ODS head to arrive and was wondering how you guys like the sound from the combo? I know with some cabs, builders choose a certain type of wood to effect the outcome of the resonance/tone of the cab. How important is the wood choice in this type of combo cab? Did you use Birch, Pine, or a combination of woods? Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: needmoreguitars on September 11, 2008, 02:50:16 AM Mighty sweet looking rig there my brother! Great job! ;D
How's the weight overall as a combo??? Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: mcinku on September 11, 2008, 05:40:32 AM Wow. Those are both very nice cabs.

I know with some cabs, builders choose a certain type of wood to effect the outcome of the resonance/tone of the cab. How important is the wood choice in this type of combo cab? Did you use Birch, Pine, or a combination of woods? Mine is made from Birch plywood. I just decided to go with plywood 'cause it's proven material and it's tough enough to protect my precious. ;D Title: Re: So, I finally managed to build a cab for my OTS... Post by: mcinku on September 11, 2008, 05:53:10 AM Mighty sweet looking rig there my brother! Great job! ;D How's the weight overall as a combo??? I still didn't weigh it... :P It is heavy but not as heavy as Twin :D, I like the portability of the amp. Just grab amp in one hand, guitar in the other and off you go. (I do however have a pedalboard as well. So with pedalboard softbag over my shoulder, amp and guitar :-[, I need to start using gym more. ;D |
