Cabinet almost complete for the Vox AC100/2
« on: March 15, 2016, 09:21:41 pm »
Well guys, I've spent all my spare time from the last week or so dialing in the cabinet for that epic Vox AC100/2 build before I sell it.  Here are the pics, let me know what you guys think:

Made it from scratch, cut the finger joints with a dado blade, had some minor issues with that so I had to use a chisel to make them fit a bit :P  Stained, and Shellacked it like mad, and have added the handle and front plate.  I've just got to finish the back panel and I'll put the chassis in.  I do need to figure out a front panel for it still, though, as there are tons of holes not being used.

Oh believe me, it was :)  three coats of shellac, sanding in between each, etc.  It's also not going to be super durable for touring, but then again, I figure there would be two people that buy something like this.  Those with extra income that want a custom/boutique all tube amp and will keep it at home, or those that are touring musicians that make enough to protect it well :), or maybe some studio, but I think they tend to like smaller amps that can be overdriven and not put out 50000db :)

Edit: Added custom/boutique

Okay I have the completed amp, let me know what y'all think.  I think I'm going to go minimalist on the labeling too, just letters, 

V - Volume
T - Treble
B - Bass
R - Reverb

and leave it at that, but I've got to figure where I can get good letters :)
