That cab looks sweet! :grin:

Is a "Vobrolux" especially for dobro? :wink:  Sorry - couldn't help myself with that.

The inside looks super.  Never saw those honkin' big Orange Drops zip-tied together.  Good idea IMHO.

What kind of speaker box are you playing it through and how does it sound?

Cheers,

Chip

NEAT!

I wish my builds turned out that sanitary clean looking!

LOL they start out that way, but after the trouble shooting they end up looking more like some one spilled a plate of spaghetti in my sock drawer.

Nice save ampcabinets. A friend is going to trying something similar with a 1236. Honker of a PT.

I am curious as to what looks like those quality PEC pots--but can't tell whether you actually were able to solder on to the SS case? That's a trick--how'd you do that? Regards.

although it shows pink here, it is actually a darker red, with black text.
 Changing it to a gif from a cdr, somehow changed the colors.

This is probably something you already know, but...

CMYK and RGB color palettes are not the same. If it was designed in CMYK converting it to RGB can corrupt the real color.

Looks like the professional build we've come to expect  :grin:
