AKL - getting custom enclosure/case built - where?

Post by xCaptainx »

Ahoy hoy

I'm getting a Matrix GM50 poweramp next week

http://matrixguitaramplification.com/products/gm50/ this bad boy right here.

I'm going D.I nowadays and getting this to serve as a backup. Now obviously from the looks of it, the intention of this thing is to be housed within a speaker enclosure or cabinet and act as a backplate.

I'm going to use it as a single channel 400w poweramp. What I want to do is have this in a case, with a removable lid, and then have a speaker jack output on the side of the case, which connects to the poweramp lead out.

Kinda like this, but not as ghetto looking http://forum.fractalaudio.com/amps-cabs ... -pics.html and much more practical for carting around e.g flip top lid to protect the top plate, and tolex or flight case style enclosure.

Main question is; where would be a good place to start to look for parts to build this enclosure/custom flight case for this?

The Jansen place maybe? Hit up Ryan at CAB, he'll probably know people who can do it, if he can't do it himself.

yeah I'm looking forward to getting it. Trajan and I were both using the GT800FX, his axe fx into one side, my HD500 into the other. We bought bought a GM50 so there's less leads going all over the place on stage, haha.
