Dedmans 1x12 speaker cab

[DrNomis_44]

Thanks Doc , I made a mounting plate out of some 2mm sheet steel I had bower birded away, plenty of speaker wire left over from wiring the man cave for 5.1, and a few plugs left over from making patch cables..trip to the shop...avoided!
I made some feet for the cab after noticing that the hole saw I used to make the input jack plate opening left me with a nice round bit of wood with a hole in the middle, I drilled 3 more in some scrap, sanded them....another trip to the store avoided!

Costing on this. $100 for timber from the shed of green, $10 for black hessian for front, $145 for the speaker. Compared against commercial units that's about 1/2 price considering most of the 3 to $400 units have a no brand or low quality speaker in them

That's pretty cool, so have you taken the new speaker cab for a test run?, if so, how does she sound?, my mate with the big guitar rig at his place just bought himself a Fane speaker recently, and he's right into trying out different speakers to get a specific sound he's after, he rang me earlier this afternoon to say that he's got some parts for his Peavey Triumph amp that he's getting me to do some mods on for him.

looks very cool Dedman, love the similar theme to the GD-1

that poor little Orange head looks a bit out of proportion

how does it sound when turned up ?

Looks wicked Dedman, the star is a nice touch too.

that's a ripper Deddy, nice job, I have a micro terror as well...

[DrNomis_44]

I might have to look at getting one of those Micro-Terrors too one day.

Yup, sounds great. Just ran the Tele, the Gretsch and the Jnr through it with and without loads of gain and with a bit of delay from a cheapo pedal. The gain is great, its nice and clean till you dig in then gets nice and gritty (that's at about 1/2 way.) gets really crunchy it you take it to 11.
Doc I was tossing up between the dark and the normal, I went with the normal because I'm not really looking for loads of distortion. The Dark Terror is much more aggressive.

No idea what that star is off, it was a swap meet find.

That coffin-shaped guitar leaning against the speaker cab looks cool, is that one of your recent guitar builds?

[Dedman]
