A Cabinet For My Orphaned Peavey Heritage VTX
Posted: Sat 06/30/18 9:42 pm
While biking with the kids I spotted an amp chassis laying near a couple trash cans. A scrapper had cut off the cord and it was missing all four of the 6L6GT's that stand between the freakishly heavy transformers. I grabbed it and lumbered home to the basement. A few weeks later some cheapo tubes came from Ukraine. I powered it up on a current-limited PSU and everything looks great! I added a few mismatched knobs, replaced the 250K bass pot (snapped off plastic shaft)--and the thing wails like a friggin' beast. (At least one channel; I have to build four switches where the footpedal would go. I'll go with something on the chassis or cabinet. AND I have a reverb tank out in the garage I pulled from an old Wurlitzer organ, which I shall press into service.)
Overall, I've got $34 total into it.
Rather than build it into a combo cabinet, I'd prefer to build it as a head. Could somebody point me to a PDF or whatever of plans for a cab for this thing? I have a nice walnut tabletop that would yield enough for a good cabinet. I can build, join and rout a simple head cabinet--but seeing plans would help greatly. Any ideas? I'm coming up with a lot of photos with the googles, but very little in the way of plans for a newb to this kind of thing. Thank you very much.
