made myself a guitar amp + cab.

[thetyreman]

my latest project just complete is a guitar amp made from old growth douglas fir that came from an old door,

it sounds way better than I was expecting, it's similar to an original fender tweed amp, I used hide glue throughout, except instead of finger joints it's dovetailed then the corners rounded off.

I used solid copper for the back plate which houses the input and a DC input, it's a kit guitar amp from the jam jar amps in wales, their blueberry kit in this case, but obviously I made the cab as well, originally it was intended as a present for my brother but due to having a bad back I couldn't do it in time for his birthday, he's said I can keep it so that'a bonus.

good fun project that's kept me sane during this latest lockdown.

Jamjar amps are awesome and deserve to be purchased from. The guy who runs it makes hundreds of them. I have one of there originals in a jar. I broke the jar and had to drill a new one, for that alone here deserves the utmost of respect.
