Yes, SLO with 60W power amp, depth control, relay switching to avoid the channel bleed, an instrument level loop and a bunch of selectable mods on those switches

So I've been a bit slack in updating this....
Not much to say other than there is a fender 6g15 reverb cab, sitting here, tweedy :)
And another Tweed deluxe 95% there - was going to be routing the baffle but hail and rain stopped play. I need to make more space in the actual workshop for a big central workbench. Currently space is taken by the table saw. I can work on top of that when pushed....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Yes, I've done other things!

Theile cab finished - didn't get finished pics as minor wiring issues meant time was tight - but the final grill cloth is 1000 times better! Horrible stuff to work with but I figured out it shrinks a metric fucktonne with water and hot air, so it ended up being good.

When I took this pic I realised how horrible the first version was! It didn't look as bad when working on it.... redid it and it turned out good I think.

Trinity TC15 Head cab for Mike completed! Very happy with this one - the tolex was so easy to work with!

Oh and finished up a dual headphone stand made from an old guitar neck and marshall style tolex, for sale and open to offers!!!

Oh I can redo the top bar shorter so it's a single as well :) it slides through the neck so you can position it where you want.

What happened to the bleach splashes on the speaker cone?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I anti bleached them :)

I made this really elaborate contraption that would spin the speaker at a constant velocity while I applied 1cc of dye per square cm, powered by an electric drill....

Nay I just smeared a bit of dye on. Can't have a mottled speaker cone showing through a grille cloth.
