Time to let the cat out of the bag. Coming in 2013: Vibrolux Reverb build based on the AA964 layout.

Screw the amp. I want to know what wood you're going after.

 

There's only one thing better than a pretty Wife; a pretty Wife that understands the passion for guitars and amps.

 

I too look forward to your thread.

 

I think he was referring to the Queen of England.

Had no idea these kits were available....just checked the net...lots there. With good instructions too.

I'm not building from a kit, Floyd, I'm buying all the parts from different suppliers.

 

A kit is a great way to go for the first one. After that, it just seems a bit restrictive, like painting by numbers ;)

What; no English walnut photos???

 

Is this to be a cleaner sounding amp than The Limey? Have you selected a name?

Not to mention the mark up of materials and corner cutting of lessor parts...

There won't be any walnut this time around, I'm afraid. For the moment my budget is a bit strained so I'm focussing on the chassis internals. It will be a very clean sounding amp, hopefully like a mini Twin.

 

It's the H-O-Lux :)

A taster for the build thread I'll be starting soon: the cab for the new H-O-Lux :)

 

It's 3/4in pine with dovetail joints. Still needs cleats, back panels, tolex and grill cloth. It's being built for me by my good friend Jeff McMurray at Bandmate USA in WI.

Nice. is it a front loaded cab? It looks like there's a frame on the cab that will provide room for the speakers out front. Is it to be tolexed? A red snakeskin perhaps...

Posted

I'm not sure whether the chassis loads from the front, back or both! :)

 

Yes, tolex will be going on soon :) I'll leave the colour a secret until I've got pics :)
