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.

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.

FYI, the grille cloth looks a bit loose, maybe hit it with a hairdryer again to shrink it back up? Awesome combo. Really nice.

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.

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.

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).

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).


Wow.
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?

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.

I still didn't weigh it...   Tongue

It is heavy but not as heavy as Twin  Cheesy,  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  Embarrassed,

I need to start using gym more.
