Nwest Overdrive Rocket build
« on: December 24, 2012, 02:23:37 pm »
Here are a few shots of my newest build.An overdrive rocket as I call it.Basically a Dumble with a few tweaks here and there.It has 6v6's with a PT and OT that casn use 6L6's too.
  I use only Hammond Iron. It also sprts a Rola Celestion G12-65 speaker.

Nice tones from this puppy! Just finished the cabinet today.The offset speaker makes the cabinet perfectly balanced when you pick it up.(not really planned that way!)I wasn't thinking about how short the cabinet was and how big the OT was.It just clears the speaker,but as a bonus it's perfectly balanced out the weight of the PT and OT.
