So I've got the amp at the shop, dude's taking his time because I was clear I'm not in a hurry, all's well. I'm getting the sleeve shaped up, but I neglected to get the dimensions of the casing for the UV light. Anyone happen to know how high that dimension is? I want to do a back-cut at the front, as you might see in the later models... And so I can see the controls (the reason for it I guess) when it's sitting on a half-stack, single cabinet. It won't be exactly to spec, but it'll do the thing. I just want to do the cut without exposing the end of the UV case... Thanks. π

Tacky, cheese, yes. But Kustom's web site says it's active in the gain stage.

Well let's not waste a good revival! Has anyone seen/tried the new class-D Kustom heads? https://kustom.com/product-detail/?id=2609

I had a Kustom Groove 310C Groove combo. It was beastly. Sounded great, and the loudest amp I've ever played. It was also very heavy, and getting it up and down stone steps, the fact that I annoyed sound-people, and the fact that it really just wanted to be so effing loud, were the reasons I sold it. I kinda wish I had it now though. It would be the right stuff for my stoner/doom band.

Trace Elliot TE1200 review from a blind player's perspective
Count Bassie replied to JGSpector's topic in Amps and Cabs
Just read the review, that was concise and well-written, @JGSpector. I'm now one step closer to seeking one out, though honestly I'm ready to pull that trigger ass soon as I'm able! It's time for a new amp, this has moved to the top of the list. -
Drilled and parts set in place. To the bench this weekend, and I'll have a couple weeks to make the sleeve look like something.

Thanks! I was very much already put at ease with this when I saw it was a nearly-snug fit. Just enough room to get it in there without a serious fight, and a little space above for air. Yeah wood is cool to work with, especially when it's your own project. π No more combo? I've subbed that, took a Peavey Combo 300 and made it head-only, because of the weight. I ended up loaning it to a guy and never saw it again. Teach me to be a nice guy! That was a good solid gig amp.

Well sock it to me! She fits. Gluing 'er up and setting screws, off to the bench... You may notice the butt-joint at bottom-right. Somehow I made a wrong cut on the top and bottom pieces, but has enough left over so I could adjust the width (height, properly oriented) of that side. The shape is still true, it just looks wonky. Some Epoxy and Duratex'll hide that badge of shame... π

There have been many detours and life has thrown into the path, but finally this is started in earnest. @Matt P, I took your drawings to the shop yesterday and cut me some plywood. Glue, screws and clamps tonight... Got my tech guy interested, off to the bench soon as it's fitted to the sleeve.
