Speaking of Jan Ray/Timmy clones, I built the Coda Effects Golden Hour and it has WAY too much volume; unity is with the knob at 9am. I don't remember my original Timmy being like that. Any reason this would be the case? I feel like I need to send it to someone to diagnose for me. My Jan Ray clone ...

Had it floating around the garage for ages, but pretty sure it was from AliExpress.

I could certainly give it a go! Although you may want to have a closer look at those corners first!

Quite glad I was forced to do it in 4 pieces, the gold piping looks choice. It's just cloth piping from a craft store, but does the trick. It's only held in with staples so can replace with the proper stuff if I want.

And finished.

I'd been looking at dewalt and working out if it was worth 1700 bucks... and I figured, lets find out how much I use, under 7 hand shandy worked for me :) After first use I think it could be a keeper, can't get spiral cutters or anything for it as far as I know but hey, it did the job! The Dewalt i...

Looks awesome so far! I used vinyl to wrap my 18W. Followed the instructions from an Uncle Doug youtube video, fender style. I used a cheap wallpaper seam roller from mitre10, and the long tack Ados glue on the timber, spray Ados on the vinyl. Worked a treat. Just make sure to paint black under whe...

I wonder if you could find some wire with gold coloured insulation or some other thing you could misuse :mental: :think: The other option is to ring a local upholsterer or check out craft stores like spotlight :thumbup: Yeah good call. I have some clear-coated speaker wire somewhere which might loo...

I realised if I follow the proper 18W Marshall style, it will allow me to get away with 4 pieces using piping in the gaps. Does anyone know a local supplier, or does anyone have a stash, of the thin gold Marshall piping without the lip/flange? https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/piping-marshall-g...

Nice!
Would you say the roller tool is essential?

Yeah ideally a single wrap would have been better, but I'm just making do with what I have for this.

After the usual 6-month delay in getting back to my unfinished projects... I finally have some vinyl to cover this thing. It ain't tolex, but I'm doing this cab on a (close to) zero-budget, so some free boat vinyl from a friend will do nicely. Problem is, it's not quite enough to wrap around the cab...
