Enclosure for an electric guitar amplifier

This is an electric guitar head made of an old Audiovox combo amplifier, it is easy to carry and use with any speaker cabinet.

Step 1

This is a 1x12 combo guitar amp, one 12" speaker, but i'm going to use the amplifier part only.

I've got this exact amp, It's an old Univox solid state from the seventies. I don't think they're particularly worth any money, I bartered for mine at a local pawn shop for like 50 bucks. Really killer amp. I like to crank the tone up to about one a clock and toss my MXR distortion + through it. Killer overdrive. Mine was all original. I like the different inputs too. The organ input is really flat and clean, and the mic one is a little trebley, but the guitar one can sound nice and fat with a little tweaking. That tremelo is crazy on it too if you crank em both up it sounds like a flying saucer. Cool amp. I like your mod, but I don't have the wood working skills to do something like this. Hope they're not worth any cash or you'll be regretting this mod. haha. :P

what are the 2 jacks already on the amp?

[underground]

Those are the tremolo and reverb foot switch jacks.

I got the grill at home depot this is gutter guards, use to keep leaves and debris out of gutters......the best..... it is so cheap .

Nice instructable you've got there, I especially like how your vinyl application came out. Was wondering, where did you get the corners you used on the finished product??

First of all thank you for your comment., i got the corners from 2 old PA speakers that someone dumped, but im sure you can get them in internet go to mojo musical supply.

I like this man. I was thinking of making my Crate Flexwave 212 combo into a head, and this helps out greatly. Thanks.

A very nice looking job you've done there.
