big bob Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Got the weber cab all finished up. In the end I went with 3 coats of shellac, no lacquer top coat.. The cab turned out great. I've had a little time to dial in the sound city and I can say it's a real nice combo. I can see why gilmore likes it so much.
schundog Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Congrats on the combination, Lance. Good Grief that Sound City is a MONSTER! Ginormous!
FredZepp Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 OMG.. that sound city looks huge. that setup looks like it would rock !!!
Trouble Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 What does the patch cable on the Sound City do? Great looking cab!
big bob Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 What does the patch cable on the Sound City do? Great looking cab! Jumps the bright and normal channels for a little extra gain. The amp itself is really clean and articulate. It has an active preamp so the bass, mid,and treble controls really change the sound. This amp also takes pedals great. last week when I was messing with it I really did not like the way the fad tone distortion pedalo sounded, however with just a little tweaking it now sounds great.. I really like the combination. The other thing I've noticed is the difference in how much the volume knob on the guitar changes the sound. on my marshall when I dime the volume knob on the guitar all it really does is add gain and a little volume. Now it adds a lot of volume and also some crunch so solo time should be no problem..
bolero Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Gilmore: Gilmour: congrats, that thing looks beastly indeed!!
big bob Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 6? SIX inputs??? seven three each for Bright and normal and a headphone the three are labeled from L to R, slave, atten, and input. Not sure what atten is for maybe attenuated? when I jumper the two channels I get better control over the volume, normal controls the bass side bright the treble side.
barrymclark Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Gilmore: Gilmour: congrats, that thing looks beastly indeed!! That amp makes Lance Happy Gilmour.
barrymclark Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 That is a seriously sweet looking head, Lance! WE NEEDS VIDZ, YO! Play that blue 140 I have never seen before through it!
Kuz Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 So retro, SO COOL!!!! With all that headroom I bet it NAILS the Gilmore tone!!!!

JeffB Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 looks pretty awesome!! Bet it makes your trousers flap when you smack out a big open G chord.

I've been thinking about an external cab, no time or patience and to do wood work though.

DetroitBlues Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Its very nice... Would make a nice addition to the 1x15 Deltablues combo I have.

big bob Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 It really played nice at practice. I went mostly sweet en crunchy (dan-echo + Fabtone). I have yet to try out the cry baby.
