Thank you very much, yeah i never thought it would be easy, i dont know electronics too well, just from these 2 comments and thinking it through i think it is quite a difficult task, i will definitely look into selling it and checking the classifieds though, thanks for the advice guys

Hey Guys, I have an Ashdown Electric blue 180 combo, but as some of you may know this is a crazy heavy amp. i want to reconstruct the head unit into a custom made case and then use the speaker to make my own cab just to cut down the weight, and as im starting to gig a bit more i want something more portable. My idea was to take the electronics out of the head and just move it into the new case. but as i opened it up the whole front panel is one circuit board, so i cant do that, there are some controls and input/outputs i dont use or want, so my question is, does anyone know how to take these unwanted sections off the circuit board and is it possible to make the circuit board shorter/smaller to make the finished product more compact. Ive attached some pictures that will proabably explain/show you what im talking about a bit better. The ones i dont use so want to get rid of are the effects send and return, the sub harmonic button and pot and i would prefer the DI on the back, the input lights the inputs and the input gain i would like moved in to make it more compact. Yes it would probably be easier to buy a head and cab but i am completely broke so am trying to do the best with what i have. i have friends experienced in metal/plastic work so can help me with a case that looks finished and not amateur, but my electronics skills leave very much to be desired so i need your help. Thanks in Advance Zac
