First i used the original EVM-12L. The weight of the cab was about 20kg. Then i tried the Emminence basslights 2012. The result was a better sound and a weight of !13kg!!! |

How did you make the grilles? |

| | |  Very nice!
I use a single TL806 (w/ KappaLite) regularly, and have thought about building a mate.
Did you increase the port size? |

Would love it if all the writing was in English... (sorry, no disrespect but i think the industrial look works better in english and its not even my first language!)
Love the glass ring stains on the amp! Always dreaded doing on of those on mine! At least when they are pre done you dont have to worry about it anymore...

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Portland OR | | | Fantastic job, nice touches all us gearheads can appreciate. It looks like something you might see at a manufacturer's booth at NAMM or Musikmesse as a featured item/ attention getter. You might consider sending the link to Mesa, I bet they'd be flattered.
Care to share how you gave it the distressed finish & graphics? Is the grill painted a reddish/rust color or is it actually rusted? Did you consider having the amp recessed just a bit more in the head case for protection? Or perhaps having a latching hard cover for the front? If it's not being gigged, it's a moot point.
Again, great concept, execution & photography, thanks for sharing it.

| Yes, it's actually rusted. I sprayed it with a solution of water, salt and vinegar. When i thought it's enough, I varnished it with mat lacquer with a roll to keep the structure of the rust.
It was not possible to recess the amp, because there is a fuse-holder on the back, and if it's plain on the front, there would be an overlap on the back.
Does anyone have a link to Mesa to send them a link of my stuff?
Could be interesting .....
And: sorry for my lousy english .... |
