Finbar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just wondering if anyone knows where you can get hold of vents that go on the top of amps? Like the one they now fit to the AD200b. Aesthetically, the only thing about my Matamp head that grates on me is the top vent, and I'd far rather have a metal tray like that than the open hole and bit of mesh that is there now. Google is failing me. Either because it's hard to find, or because I don't know the correct technical term Looks something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Call Matamp and ask for a different vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Swap it for the one on Stus amp when he isn't looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 I *think* the one on Stu's amp is smaller than the hole on mine (I might steal it anyway, see if he notices), and that's Matamp's standard size too. So I don't think they'd be of too much use for this. Plus finding one, ordering it and screwing it on is much easier than going up to Matamp for essentially the same thing. Poup.

Finbar Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Had a look at Stu's - it's WAY smaller than the vent on my amp. Which looks the same size as your vent, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Buy a 1U rack vent panel cover and cut it down to size? Alternatively, contact the maker of any amp you have seen the one you like on and ask if they can supply you with just that part to replace a damaged one. I doubt many would say no.

Hamster Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Something like this? - [url="http://www.mojotone.com/amp-parts/Hardware/Marshall-Small-Plastic-Head-Vent-10-25-x-1-5"]http://www.mojotone.com/amp-parts/Hardware...ent-10-25-x-1-5[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 A lot like that. Except a bit bigger. And metal. I'll try and get the actual measurements off my head soon, as I may have to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Most B&Q stores sell steel sheet that's punched in a variety of patterns. It's not cheap but will be cheaper than having one custom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
